I'm not really a shaving kind of person, I prefer waxing a lot more. I really want to try sugaring now, but I can't find someone with enough experience in my area. I have super sensitive skin, so shaving irritates it waaay too much. Even with waxing I need to take good care of my skin afterwardsLast edited by admin; 07-16-2021, 10:24 PM. -
I find shaving to be such a chore! Cut hair just for it to grow back again! That said, there is no better feeling than freshly shaven legs on clean sheets or silk pajamas. When I do shave (which is not a regular thing for me) I like to take a bath first because it really helps to loosen up my hair and prep it for shaving. I use conditioner to shave my leg hair - something I’ve been doing since my middle school days It’s nice to follow up with a hydrating lotion to lock in moisture.Comment

A great all over body cream for post shaving is the Lush dream cream! It’s made with oats, lavender and rose and is extremely soothing on the skin. I like it because it’s cooling and light - a perfect formula in my opinion. If you’re searching for a good drugstore lotion option, I recommend the Shea moisture brand. They make high quality natural bath and beauty products with limited ingredients. Great for sensitive skin.Comment

I used to always go back and forth shaving and waxing my entire body as I always thought that is what men wanted. It was actually my husband that enlightened me how some men really find a girl with some body hair very attractive. We were on a three-week long camping trip in the wilderness and one of the items I didn't pack was a razor (or deodorant). By the end of the trip the hair on my armpits and pubic area really started growing in. At the time, I couldn't wait until we got back home to shave it all off.
My husband however, really loved the new look especially the armpit hair. He mentioned how it made me look more free-spirited and confident which is really what men like him find the most attractive in a woman. He also loved the natural deodorant-free scent. While I washed in lakes and rivers each day, my natural pheromones were more pleasing to him than masking it with perfumes.
Since then, I grow in my hair or shave/wax my pubic area and armpits depending on which mood I am in (and I never wear deodorant around him, lol). My legs are the only exception. I keep them smooth for my own person reasons and that takes no time at all since they are fine hairs. In my opinion (and my husband's), women should shave/wax by personal choice, not by societal pressures on what the "think" looks best to others.

I understand your husband's preferences since I find pubic hair on women attractive and mysterious. I have never been with a woman who had armpit hair but I think I would like that also.I used to always go back and forth shaving and waxing my entire body as I always thought that is what men wanted.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
