My wife suddenly informs me last night she wants me to shave her legs with one of the straights. Is this a good idea or not, are they up to doing leg hair? I assume the preparation would be the same with lather etc.
I have offered all the girls at work to do their bikini lines for them, but as yet have had no takers.

I've done my fair share of bikini lines ---as with all things in this region, prep work is really important:njQuote:

Yes, with bikini line prep is the key. You need to numb the area well.......

I can't believe I just typed that........
Classic Doc!!!!
Of course, they do nothing for you, being a professional and all........cough

num num... Ha ha! Yeah that was funny.
Seriously, though, it can be done. I've shaved my wife's legs a few times with a straight razor. First principle -- as always -- light touch. Next, getting comfortable enough to shave her without the tactile feedback received shaving oneself. Go with the grain the first pass, maybe the second too.
Do not drink before doing this -- like one poor guy did.
FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T SNEEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

You know, John, based on my experience with honing on my paddle strop, and looking at the lack of hair on both of my forearms, you might consider holding off on the 'full-on' leg shave, and see if you can talk her into doing the 'honing-test' thing....I mean, heck, based on my forearms, she'll get to where she wants to be....eventually!
"H-o-o-o-n-e-y!!..Come here for a minute!"
Although, my wife wants nothing to do with the idea, and, after my test on his tail, the cat is steering well clear of me, too!
(...now he looks like a big RAT....never liked the damn thing, anyway)

John,
I say go for it! Put on some soft music, maybe light a candle or two. Use nice, hot lather, and wipe off slowly with a hot towel. Massage in some nice smelling lotion or oil. (Warm it by rubbing it in your hands first.) Go slowly and carefully. Start low down and work your way up, until she tells you to stop. (She may not.) Make sure you have some free time afterwards just in case. Be very careful around the knees and ankles.
It always used to work for me. ;)

I have a question for Lou... would you do this in your usual 'commando' style? :roflmaoQuote:

Don't give anyone else credit for commando style shaving that belongs to me..:roflmaoQuote:

I have shaved my wifes legs with my straights. I even caught her using one in the bath once, i told her :nono: She hasn't done it since or she has gotten sneakier about it. She also lets me test the hones on her legs. The cats don't get close enough to me to try it on them :shrug:
Jim
You know I answered this thread yesterday and it has gone, or perhaps I only thought I answered it, perhaps I didn't hit the SUBMIT REPLY.
Perhaps I was getting all steamed up with putting on the nice music, and lighting a few candles to set the mood, fluffing up the lambs wool rug, and then having to try and shave the wifes legs without injury.
Now she wants to commandeer my brand new finest silvertip to use as a make up brush, I really must take her in hand I think :D

I have shaven a few pairs of legs in my day. My fiancee likes getting this "star treatment" because it means she doesn't have to do it herself. Prep is definately key. Hot towels, rub in some baby oil, hot lather, a warm blade (I soak it in the bowl of water during the lathering), all make for a wonderful experience for the lady. Their legs will also be smoother for longer, but because there's "more lawn to mow", you razors will decline faster, as well.
I've found, through asking on here and personal experience, armpits, bikini lines, and legs can be shaved easily. Just make sure you've got a comfortable place to sit/stand and she is comfortable during the process. Be ready to use a closer than 30 degree angle and ALWAYS stretch the skin the best you can. Learn both the back hand and fore hand methods as this will come in handy (no pun intended)
There's nothing wrong with pampering your wife this way, but take extra cautions so that it turns out well for both of you. If you're not 100% confident and careful, then shave your own legs first to make sure you're man enough to shave hers ;).
I just recently got my girlfriend to start shaving her legs with a GILLETTE 1964 LADIES BLUE STAR DE RAZOR. She loves it.
My wife does her legs with one of her straights every once and again. She really likes it. Just tell her to go REALLY slow!!!
