Thread: Silver's Leg Massacre, Umm I Mean Shave

Thanks Dave. I was reapplying the lather quite often as it seems to thin very quickly, even in between shots. Plus the photos could be a lot better. I'm going to give it another go next weekend when I can poach a proper digital camera for the day and have the room to do it properly.

One problem we have is that we have a tiny bathroom, so Spike ended up standing on the edge of the bath to take most of the shots.

It also looks like you're stretching the skin downward, with the grain. I think this would make the hair lay flat. It may not make a huge difference, but stretching the skin upward might help...

Since we go one pass ATG on the legs it's hard to stretch that way because there is still lather above the starting point. I have found that not to be a problem though because my leg hair is not as coarse as my beard and the hairs are spaced out a little more. Besides the back of the knees, legs are much easier than the face!

Thanks,

That does it, my wife is going under the knife very soon!

OMG Silver, you have a few battle scars there. Be careful & take your time. I always try to make sure I have a nice, thick lather before shaving. Yes, stretching your skin upward would make a big difference. You're going to be ok, just plan your shave & try stretching the skin upward more next week. That last pic looks like it was trying to tell you something like oh f*ck. Other than that, stretch the skin as much as you can & it will come out ok. Your skin will be like velvet & it will be happy. It takes some time getting your routine down but once you do, you'll be ok. BTW nice legs, even with battle scars! No disrespect meant Spike.
