Thread: Help shaving wifes legs

I have just switched from a replacement blade straight blade to a real straight blade. During my search I found this forum and saw the ladies section. I have been shaving with a replacement blade straight for awhile now and had never thought of shaving her legs with it till I read this section. I told her about it the other day and asked if she would like me to shave her legs. She thought about all day then that night she said I could so I went to shave her legs and I started on the lower side and applied the soap with my brush and then it hit me that I had no ideal how to shave her legs and I didn't want to cut her so I only shaved a small part of her lower leg. I figured better to do a little and have her enjoy it than to try to much and have her not enjoy it. She enjoyed it but I was unable to give her a good shave so now she is not very believing that a straight or even a DE razor would be much different that what she already is getting with a store bought razor. I was hoping someone could help me out on a good way to shave her legs that I could try out in a couple of nights and hopefully get a better result.

First get used to shaving yourself with a straight.

I shave my wifes legs with only two passes, first WTG then followed with ATG, then touchups around the knee area. We did a test with me shaving one leg and her shaving the other with her disposable. Her leg the following day had more stubble than the one that I shaved. Shaving someone else is not easy as you can't feel the pressure. I use a full hollow 5/8 (to feel the feedback) razor to ensure that I wouldn't be heavy handed & short strokes.

My Wife loves it when I str8 shave Her legs. I do eveything I would do if I was shaving My face. Rub some warm oil on first then make a nice warm lather. Lather up one leg, then shave it (WTG/ATG), Then do the other leg. I do the front half on both legs then do the backside.

Scary to say this, but I HAVE shaved that backside! She was thrilled, I was less so.

But serious, to make doing the backs of the legs easier, I have her lie on the massage table face down. way easier, and much safer imho

You have a trusting woman there! The love of my life won't let me come within 50 feet of her with an open straight razor!!!! Lol

That's a fact. My wife has said more than once "don't even think about coming near me with that".

She won't even stay in the room while I am using the strop.

At least it was fun while it lasted...
