He shaved my legs... Now I'm addicted!

I was told I should introduce myself... My name is Shannon, and I am a straight razor addict...

not long ago my guy received that first box containing his first razor. I watched his interest grow (as well as his razor collection) and as he got better and better at shaving himself, my desire to feel that edge on my skin increased. He now shaves me on a regular basis... legs several times, underarms twice, and just below the belt once (we need a shorter razor for those tight quarters!).

He has placed the razor in my hands twice so far and I managed to shave the hair from a patch on both legs, leaving the tricky spots to him. He is teaching me slowly and has included some stropping and lather lessons. I am excited to learn more, I just hope the RAD isn't contagious!

if your interested in razors used so far, I couldn't tell ya! Ask Frank (franfc) the details! This is an amazing way to achieve glass smooth legs without irritation, and a fun and intimate experience to share with each other.

Thanks for reading my rant... Take care!

Welcome Shannon. I couldn't agree more, my wife and I share that as our alone time and part of the intimacy. She was ecstatic when I started back with a SR because she missed the glassy smooth legs and the longer shave interval a SR gave her. She also likes the baby bottom face that I get with it as well.

Nothing comes close to the shave for sure! The intimacy is a cherished bonus... I am very excited to learn more and continue my shaves while he is away for his annual trip, I may have to go without the intimacy, but I refuse to go without that glass smooth shave!

Hi and welcome and good to hear of another woman converted. Alas my wife wont let me anywhere near her with a razor. :shrug:

It's sad that there are women out there missing out on this experience!

My wife has let me lather her legs, but if I came at her with a razor she would probably freak out lol

The first time I got a little dizzy because I forgot to breath... Now I just lay back and enjoy the pampering... I'm going to have to really get to practicing so I can have him mentor me and not allow any bad habits before he leaves for 3 months... Can't go without SR shaving while he is gone :)

Hello,and welcome to SRP!!

I have hinted to my wife a few times about letting me shave her legs with a str8; if looks could kill........................

I jumped at the chance! My pants were off before he could warm up his scuttle! Guess I am a risk taker and adrenalin junkie!

Shave and a haircut!! I love grooming days!! He wants me to shave his neck as practice... He's CRAZY and I'm nervous!! :dropjaw:

Well I managed to shave his neck after cutting his hair without a drop of blood! Go me! I was quite nervous but I did it, next time will be easier (I hope)

I purchased my partner a nice DE safety razor and proper soaps. Now she locks herself in the bathroom for her shaving rituals. I can here her giggling, and she always emerges with a big smile and baby-soft legs. She's totally converted. Lately she's been eyeing my straight shavette. It's only a matter of time… Props to you and your guy. A truly healthy way to bond!

My wife uses my badger brush and soap's, so now I need to buy new soaps more frequently... the horror!

Best of Greetings, Shannon. And a big bravo on the recent graduation.

I don't know if we still have a ladies forum active here, but I think you'll find alot of willing help. I'm pretty sure Gerrit's Mrs., Wanda, uses a str8 also. They're lovely people, should you wish to connect to another lady shaver.

I only did the lovely bride's legs once so far. She LOVED it - and would prefer I all the barber duties. What I noticed was that the larger amount of area to cover - had its normal effect on an edge & I needed to re-sharpen the blade a bit. It somewhat highlighted the benefit of having a 2nd blade to use while another is out being refreshed. It sounds like Frank is coming along well on his own honing, but when he heads north, I'd be happy to refresh an edge, if needed. 'Same cost as his blades - nothing but postage & envelope.

You may enjoy exploring some of the post-shave treatments that further the smoothing and retain skin moisture. I've been using a makeshift cocktail of Lanolin, a little aloe & some of the Jergens shea butter lotion. I've been quite pleased with it & the Mrs loved it also.

If I can be of help, don't hesitate to ask. Frank has my contact info. Have fun, Shannon!

Thank you so much for your offered help. I am certainly looking for fellow leg shavers to compare notes with because yes, soon I will be on my own for a few months! Frank is very patient and is teaching me slowly so I don't get overwhelmed. Since graduation my brain has all but shut off so it's been a challenge to learn this new and amazing skill. I much prefer to lay back and enjoy his pampering touch, but I know I have lots to learn before he goes so I have taken the razor some and plan my first solo shave soon. I still have to master stropping, which I haven't even attempted yet. I have lots to learn in this next month, but luckily I have an amazing teacher!

Thank you for offering to keep the SRs sharp for me while he is away, I know he plans to leave a couple out for me to use but I'm sure I will need a sharpening before his return.

Take care, and thanks again,
Shannon

Welcome, and what a fun Thread! I always wondered for Women, when first starting out SR Shaving, what area do you work as the most simple... Top of the thighs above the knees? For Guys it is just a few strokes down the sideburns.

Welcome to SRP and thanks for cool Intro Thread! :-)

Thank you for the welcome Shawn. My "easy spots" are my shins. I don't have a lot of hair growth on my thighs so that area is often overlooked and rarely shaved. So far I have managed the right side of my right shin, even the knee, and the right side to calf of my left leg (including knee)... Strange thing is I used to cut my knees a lot with my cartrage, but haven't yet with the SR. I've been using my BFs soaps (well ALL of his supplies from razor to scuttle) and I would like to find more feminine smells.

Thanks again for the welcome
Shannon

Shins!!! That would have been my second guess... Just such a weird, foreign thing for a Guy to reach down like that when considering shaving that it threw me off. How cool you are getting into this! My Wife of 25+ years won't even touch them when I ask her to help run my line under my beard... Won't even consider it and won't entertain the conversation of using them on her. ?? She still cuts herself regularly with cartridges as well and I think the difference with SR Shaving is you are "focused" big time! I keep hoping she will change her mind but not holding my breath. ;)

For scents... Have you tried Cella? It is a good, quality Soap and has that 'Italian Almond' smell... I could see that working in a more feminine direction... Especially layered under a more musky feminine perfume after your shave.

Interesting Shannon. My wife took 2 inches of skin off her shin with a cartridge! No problems with any other leg parts.

Shawn I agree... The intense focus while using a SR is my guess as to the reason I cut myself far less than when I was using a cartridge... I used to just get after it, thinking I was safe before... Now with a SR I have the "oh shit" factor that keeps me focused... I have even cut my FINGERS of the non razored hand with a cartridge... All due to lack of focus... I am in love with the shaves I have been getting and I look forward to many more! Sure wish the wives knew what they were missing... There's just nothing like it!
