Hey Now I liked the Veet system...

Post by Stacie Stockman »

I have used Veet and loved the results.. Loved how smooth and different my legs felt even when in Boy mode. Now with that being said...I talked to my hairstylist, (one of the many, Im out too), and talked about having my legs waxed..

Lets see how that goes!

Girls, I purcahsed the Vensus "Vibrance" about $16.00 -- it is absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!! I used is in the bath before my big dinner party Saturday night - absolutely amazing!!!!! My legs were sooooooo smooth and some places on my chest that always had a bit of stubble that I could not seem to get rid of - GONE!!!!!! It is better than Nair and I would not go back to anything else - In fact I went out today and bought the new Gillette Mach 3 Turbo "for men" I did not use the Venus on my face, but if the Mach 3 works as good on my face - "Gold Mine!!!!"

First time tonight using my new Mach 3 (men's) vibrating rasor. It works as good on my face as the Venus did on my legs. Highly recommended!!!
Please someone invent a home use, permanent hair removal system!!

Hi girls,

I finally decided to do it: shave my legs. I used a Venus razor. This is the first time I ever shaved my legs in the summer. (I did a couple of times in the winter) They feel soooo smooth. :) I always get such a good feeling putting on pantyhose when my legs are smooth. Today I'm wearing a skort (black) and bustier (pink with some black). I'm still going to go to the beach and/or go swimming some more this year. I finally decided I'm not going to worry about what others might say. Most will probably not even care or notice. I guess it's just part of my accepting my crossdressing. I figure to really look my best, hairy legs will not help.

Hey Steffie! :)

Good for you!!!! :) :) :)

The Venus razor, and I've tried different head on top of Venus handle, just seems to work the best for me.

About the shaving legs thing. I had to let a repair person in the other day and I had on shorts and my favorite poofy socks and I know he had to notice my legs were shaved as I walked up the stairs in front of him. If he didn't cool. If he did, "So what?" He and I were very cool with each other and our exchange was good. That's all that mattered to me.

Good for you for getting out and going to the beach!!! Shaved legs and all!!! =D>

Thanks for the Venus update!!!! :)

As I said before, fo the most part my legs felt dsmooth. However, all this evening I felt an abrasion in the back of my leg (back of knee) under my pantyhose. I didn't think much of it. When I took my pantyhose off before going to bed, I noticed a small abrasion/cut from the razor. I asked my wife if she had some lotion and she gave me some Clinique Deep Comfort Body Butter. I put on on the spot and then the rest of my legs and it feels good. My legs feel a lot better now (my one abrasion, especially, I mean). I'm going to use this product on my legs after shaving and maybe a couple of times a week. My skin feels softer, too as well as smooth. Just thought I'd share that with you girls. I'm sure there are other good products too but luckily my wife had this.

I know the subject has come up before as to just how often we shave parts of our bodies, other than facial hair and I will say this, I do virtually every time I take a shower. I guess, "practice makes perfect." I have not cut myself in, well I can't remember the last time. I attribute it not only to practice but that Venus vibrating rasor, is just amazing. The key to it is that you have to take your time and let the rasor do the work. Speed negates the vibration, so you have to slow down. If you have the time, a bath using shampoo as the cream seems to work and it is soooo relaxing. Afterward, you have to remember, your skin is your skin and should be treated as delicately as possible! Use of a good skin cream/moistureizer is essential after shaving, especially the back of the thighs and and the knees!!! I put lotion on mine at least twice a day and sometimes more!! It is well worth the effort!!
