Does shaving legs make them hairier?

Hi everyone.
I would love to convince my wife to let me shave her legs for her. It seems like a very sensual experience for a husband and wife to engage in. Just like the classic shaving add.
But, my wife doesn't shave her legs. Other women are probably going to hate her for this. She doesn't need to. She isn't a hairy person. In fact she is very proud of her three arm pit hairs.
I would like to know, if I do convince her to let me get to her legs with a razor, will that make her hairless legs become bristly like mine? I don't want this to end up being just another thing she has to do to get ready in the morning, but a very sensual experience for a husband and wife.
Thanks for any help you could give me.
Cheers.

There was some thread a week or two ago along similar lines asking about that old high school rumor that if you shaved, the hair would grow back fuller. I'm pretty sure the idea was soundly debunked. When the hair does grow back, the ends will be cut square because you shaved them, so they may give the tactile appearance of being a little more coarse, but it's not like you're in any way affecting the hair follicle.

It's myth. Hair will grow thicker/denser as you age regardless of shaving.

Riddle me this Batman,

If a man is going bald, can he just shave his head to make his hair grow back thicker?

Use this logic on your wife.....

I'll just chip in on this one to sustain all the others: no, shaving hair does not make them grow thicker or in larger numbers. The reason that shaven hair growing back seems coarser is that hairs naturally end in a point, which disappears when you shave; result, a 'square' hair-end.
On the other hand, waxing for prolonged periods does seem to have a slightly negative impact on hair growth. Hairs that grow back are softer and lighter, and in lesser numbers. But that is hear-say, so don't quote me on it. ;)

Btw, my GF just told me her leghair grows slower and lighter in winter than in summer. Might have something to do with the fact that she wears trouserss in winter, she doesn't really know.

Anyway, just make sure that your wife is happy with the idea of having shaven legs, before going that far. She'll probably love it even more afterwards (when the razor burn settled down and the stubbles didn't grow back yet, that is :roflmao)

I can honestly say that since using a straight on my legs the hair grows back slower and hasn't regrown in places at all!! Now whether I was due to start getting bald patches or not is another matter.:D

Are you applying enough pressure to remove the follicle then?!

She's carving off the top three layers of skin. :roflmao

I'll let you know when the hair on my legs grows back. :D Having run out of hair to pop on my arm when honing I went to the legs. Now I am limited to the TPT and the HHT from my hair brush. I'll tell you this. It itches when it grows back. :gaah:

Darn X! I forgot you had seen the shave photos I posted!!:rofl2:

I had a friend of mine who said she never shaved her legs & the hair she did have on them was very fine. For women if you've never, ever shaved your legs that's how it pretty much is. Especially if you don't have much hair. But if you shave it then it'll grow back in course and generally darker. At least that's what happened to my friend, she finally shaved her legs & that's what she told me.

Shaving makes the hair grow out more? Of course it does! I've been shaving my face for about 50 years now and if I stop for a few days, the hair pops out all over the place. I mean all over the place: cheeks, chin, nose, ears - everywhere. :eek:
