I found that by using electrolysis to remove the hair,it happens a little at a time and no one in the family noticed anything. After the hair was all gone,no one said anything; because they seem to think it was always that way. As the hair disappeared no one realized it was happening. But now the family is always complimenting on how nice my legs look without realizing that I have permanently removed the hair. I have also removed my underarm hair and no one has noticed it being gone;and what a wonderful feeling. I would give hairless underarms as a top priority for feeling. No wonder women do it. I am told that removal of mens underarm hair is becoming very popular according to my electrolysis and far more than removal of leg hair.

My practitioner told me that a lot of men are having their armpits cleared. So I decided to have mine cleared with electrolysis and I'm glad I did. It feels great!

Barrester, how long did it take you to remove your leg hair with electrolysis? Did you have any scabbing?

why not use these? please help me, im not sure if i should use these products. i am a boy with unwanted facial hair on my cheek area, i want to shave it but then dont want it to grow back thicker, as i have noticed not many shave that high up on the face.

these products claim to inhibt the hair, so does that mean it could only be good? the hair will jus grow back finer each time?

any comments greatly appreciated, if u could email me back at jc07960498511@aol.com

Hi viceversa

When I first shaved my legs I did it in one quick session from very hairy to smooth, not bit by bit as described above. I thought that everybody would notice and comment about it in my family. My girlfriend at the time was the first and she was surprised, but said it looked "muscular".

The rest of my family didn't even notice until about 3 visits to my folk's place. No one really commented about it which surprised me. Once while standing around the pool at a family get together one of my cousins looked and asked when I had started cycling - that was about the extent of it.

I shave every day to save time and it has been several years now so it's my normal look. I don't think anyone will say much if you shave your legs and wear shorts with confidence. If it's the way you prefer to look just accept that that is how it is now - period. The confidence will come accross and nobody will say anything strange - just a question or two maybe. Simple answer "I decided to try it out".

Regards
Stuart

Thanks - sensible replies - all!

I am certainly moving in that place - just working up the nerve to go further with it all and ultimately, to be true to myself!

Wow, having started this topic it is great to see how long this has gone on and how much sharing there has been - thanks to everyone.

I still keep my legs smooth, for the most part. I generally have had them waxed - the smoothness is just incredible! There have been times that I have gone a few months between waxing but I will at least trim very short - when it starts to get long it just seems, like someone else said, "what is this all over my legs".

I think that legs, whether they are male or female, look best without hair. I love the sight of a woman's legs tanned and smooth - mmmm, so nice. Even better when they have some nice muscle shape to them.

I also think that most men and women would agree, if they could get over the idea of what men and/or women should or should not do, that smooth clean legs look and feel best. Nobody seems to have a problem with someone that naturally does not have much hair on their legs or other part of their body but once someone has hair and starts to remove it then somehow it is a whole different story.

Does anybody else do this - I tend to look at legs whereever I go. One, because I love women women's legs and two, because if I see legs that are smooth and they belong to a guy then I kind of make a mental note - "another smoothie, good for him." Sometimes it is hard to tell if someone has removed the hair or is just not very hairy. I may then be able to tell that there is some hair and it is just that they don't have much hair. I then think, gee - what is the difference??
Oh well, just curious if anyone else tends to notice the smooth legs around them. I love when someone has some good muscle tone and you can see the way the muscles in the calf are flexing when they walk.

One last question - for those of you who have moved to removing hair from your legs: were the legs the last part of your body that you removed hair from or was it one of the first? I started out by having to shave the night before my vasectomy. They sex that night was incredible! I didn't keep it up right away but soon after I started shaving my genitals on a daily basis. I then trimmed the rest of my pubic hair. I tried shaving my chest and stomach hair. One day my wife commented that I needed to trim my armpits - when I think about it now I had a lot of hair there. Well, I trimmed and each time it was shorter until I shaved them completely. I now shave them every 2-3 days. I can't imagine not doing it - especially wearing a tank top in the summer or to the gym. If I am working out and have to raise my arms over my head I don't like seeing any hair there.
One day I then shaved my backside - had to really trim first because I have a fair amount of hair. I didn't do that very often until I had my first back wax and there was a distinct line on my lower back/upper buttocks. I then went back the next week to take care of it and she asked me if I wanted to have it completely smooth and I said sure. I loved it the first time - so smooth and clean. Shortly thereafter I had my pubic area waxed completely clean and then I went to my legs. I had shaved my legs clean from time to time. It was a hard leap, having my legs waxed. I even chickened out on one appointment that I made. I am so glad that I did make that leap. My esthetician has even given me compliments on how good my legs look. Actually, she has complimented me on my whole body. I work out and try to stay in shape - it is nice when someone appreciates it. By the way, all these comments are made most professionally. I have seen her for over two years and we are pretty comfortable with each other. Seeing that I am completely naked in front of her every 1-3 months along with being on my hands and knees so she can finish up my back side we better be comfortable toghether!
I guess I have gone on longer than expected. I hope to hear other's answers to my questions and thanks for everyone's input so far.

I didn't start with my legs either. I started with both my wife and myself shaving each others pubic hair. It felt so good neither of us wanted to be hairy again. To keep from shaving regularly,we had it all removed by electrolysis. From there,we both had our underarm hair removed. While doing that the electrolysist suggested that I get rid of my leg hair which I then did. The area that gives me the most satisfaction is the smooth underarms. When other women notice the smoothness some then beg their husband or boyfriend to do likewise.

RJC2001: Its hard for me to state how long it actually took to remove my leg hair itself;because I was getting my underarm hair removed at the same time. Therefore at each session,the operator would work on both areas. It seemed that after about 30 working on the underarms,they would feel sore and she would then spend the rest of the time on my legs which were not to hairy in the first place.While I don't think most girls dislike hairy legs,I think they appreciate a nicely tanned smooth leg better. It would be nice to hear from any male whose has regretted permanent removal of hair from any part of his body and the reason for the change in heart.
