Electric razor for legs

8 replies

I'm considering getting an electric razor so I can shave my legs anytime rather than just when I'm in the bath or shower. Any recommendations? I've never used one before, my skin type in relatively normal to dry.

No, but I'm interested too. I hate leg shaving with a vengeance.

Bump.

I don't find they give as close a shave as a normal one

They don't shave as close so I don't like the feel of stubble and keep going back to wet shaving.

Lumea makes no difference, waxing was fine for the first 3 days but a lot of effort to keep doing too soon.

Hate shaving though so am with you there!

Ps: I have the most expensive shaver I've ever used (Braun series 9) and although it's better than my Braun ladyshave, it still isn't that close. So I only use it for underarms as I get terrible shaving rash which is better if I don't wet shave.

The downside of electric shavers is that they don't seem to get close enough so by the next day, legs already don't feel smooth.

So I use Wilkinson's Intuition razors in the shower every other morning on my legs (and underarms). It's a wet shave but because the 'foam' is solid and part of the razor, there's no mess at all. It's just so easy. (Although I admit that I'm blonde and don't have much hair at all - maybe it would be more onerous if you have very hairy legs).

If it's doing your legs anytime you want, how about an epilator? Results last for ages compared to a shaver.

It's just for a quick 'tidy up' if I get up in the morning and decide I want to bare my legs or ankles. I struggle to do them in the shower (cubicle) and don't always have time for a shower in the morning, I do it the night before but don't know what I'm wearing the following day the night before Confused

I also find they just don’t shave close enough.

I’ve used an epilator on and off but they give me terrible ingrown hairs.
