Good afternoon Ladies and Gents
I finally did my first shave, wooohoooo!!!!!!!!!:y Target area was my legs, time taken was about an hour. Had a nice long soak in the tub first, washed my mop too. I would like to say a big thank you to Spike who sat with me as I can be a little heavy handed so he made sure I wasn't about to take half my calf off!:roflmao
I used Mama Bear's Pearberry shaving soap, very nice thick lather and smelt wonderful.
First I did my right leg, sitting on the toilet with my foot up on the side of the bath, went against the grain from the off as that is usually how I shave my legs. I had 3 nicks when I finished which is where the point got me because I wasn't careful enough.
When I did my left leg I tried it standing up with my foot propped on the bath. Though this was the better position I did squish my boob a couple of times so had to, ummmm rearrange slightly. Only 2 nicks on the left leg!! Woohooo!! 5 nicks in total and I'm more than happy with that for a first attempt as I always cut myself using a disposable anyway.
Spike used Allum on my nicks, I usually don't bother using anything after I nick myself. And finally followed up with my Lush moisturiser.:D
I wasn't long out of the bath and one of the neighbours dropped by so I couldn't help but show her how smooth a shave I just had. Within seconds she was complaining how her disposable shave had left her legs feeling all stubbly whereas mine were smooth, hehehe:y
Ok, I'll admit I wimped out around the knee area. I just didn't trust myself to do it. Gave them a light pass but hardly took any hair off at all.:o I'm sure Spike will be posting his opinion as soon as I relinquish the PC.
All in all, I'm impressed and enjoyed it thouroghly.:D Spike and I now have a deal. As soon as I can do around the ankles and knees without nicking myself I can have a go of his face.:nj
