Two things:

1) do legs get used to shaving and hairs grow (or not) doing it for a long time? I usually shave my legs only in winter (moisturize every day, scrub with bath sponge on nonshave days) but have not done it more than 12-16 weeks at a stretch hence the question).

2) always a multiblade straight raisor or would a norelco rotary work too? I tried the face norelco long ago and I didn't do well but maybe it was an unrelated event. Electric would save time maybe.

Thanks, Anne

Anne:
1:I find that the legs accept getting shaved. Creams and lotions help in keeping them soft and supple for future shaving. I find that I need to shave once a week.
2: I prefer a multi-blade razor. Not one of the 4 or 5 blade configurations.
I have never used an electic on the legs so, I can not comment

I've used my electric rotary and it works as well as a blade, almost.

Almost, because the hair is cut as low as it is with a blade, even though it may feel the same, initially. The difference is apparent when the regrowth appears sooner rather than later, which easily taken care of by shaving again, more often.

Most of the time, to save time, I will dry shave by lightly running a blade over my legs. This can be done at any time, like when watch television, sitting on the toilet, etc.

This also does some exfoliation, so moisturizing is a good idea.

Shaving in the shower, or bath if you prefer, seems to result in a smoother shave.

Using a pumice stone in the shower occasionally after dry shaving feels nice as well.

As for the legs getting used to it, mine aren't sensitive to the shaving, but are sensitive to the air/touch, in a good way, which makes me aware that they are shaved.

IMHE (humble experience?) shaving for months and months doesn't seem to slow the buggers down one whit! Wish it did!! Don't be concerned if that is your worry. The hair doesn't stop growing, and won't go away.

Sigh....
