Well, today, I share with you my wildly hairy and actually accurate portrayal of how true leg shaving commercials should be.
I have PCOS and hypothyroidism so I’m just incredibly hairy. It is so incredibly annoying and hard. I mean. Hair. Everywhere. Dark. Thick. Coarse. Grows in all sorts of weird directions on my legs too. My arms, legs, belly, and chin just sprout hair like a chia pet. It’s bad.
But the problem is I just get so overwhelmed with it. Shaving with a regular razor and shaving cream ALWAYS ends with terrible razor burn for me. So then I get grumpy and neglect shaving my legs for a month and then I end up with what you see in the video. Waxing is just torture. Creams like Nair and Veet burn and smell and end up giving me a rash. It all makes me want to cry and being so hairy makes me feel like less of a woman.
I don’t even really need to have a super close shave to where it’s incredibly smooth. I just want to not look and feel like Chewbacca. Ya know?
And even if I use a good razor and good shaving cream, the razor gets clogged up with my hair and gets dull before I even finish the bottom section of one leg. And I know if I kept up with shaving at every shower then the clogging and dulling probably wouldn’t be an issue, but it still gives me wicked razor burn and I just can’t deal with it.
I wasn’t expecting much from this because it was so inexpensive. But oh my gosh. I wish I would have recorded doing my lower leg. It removes the bulk of my hair after one swipe! Quickly, effortlessly, painlessly!!!!!!
What would take me twenty minutes in the shower took me like two minutes with this razor, and without clogs or razor burn.
Now, I will say that just going over it gently like that does not give a clean/smooth shave. Buuuut if I apply pressure with the foil part it gets super duper close to being a smooth shave.
This is so amazing! It was worth every single penny!!!!!
