Rh, my flatmate and resident haemophiliac does not shave her legs, but does shave her armpit hair, because she finds it really obnoxious (it gets all sweaty and gross). She said she's never bled from it. Neither have I, I don't think. It's easier to cut yourself on legs, it's true.

For what it's worth, I shave my legs regularly in flirty-dress season, and much less regularly in the off-season (only when I'm planning on seeing B, really). So at the moment, they have two weeks of growth, but that will be gone by Thursday. :-P

My skin feels raw and is more prone to bleeding the first few times I shave it after not doing it regularly, but it quickly grows accustomed. I've been thinking about getting an epilator, but wish I knew someone who uses it to ask about it first.

And for TMI, I also shave the outer regions of my netherhair (so it doesn't crowd outside my bikini line) as well as trim the rest.

Noxema makes some ungodly awesome safety razors that go very close to your skin, but don't actually touch it, so the hair gets very short. I think it is actually impossible to cut yourself with them. I've tried (just out of curiousity) Not a perfectly smooth shave, of course, but looks well enough.

Love,
Herbert.
