downside of warm weather...razor????
 

hey...listen up..I've liked my gorilla legs. it added bulk under my clothes, like I had shape. suddenly it's going to be near 80. what????? okey dokey then...bring out the razor. uh..razors. lawnmower, maybe. all I know is it took forevahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to find skin on my legs. I won't mention other areas..this is a family forum. let's suffice it to say...a bag of razors wasn't enough for the jobbie. all my joy about this early warm weather is now suddenly blown. it's too much work. where are my fleecie jammies and the woodstove now??? ohhh..nooooo...it's the ceiling fan and I'm supposed to show skin. eeegads....not yet. please. not. yet. this pale woman suddenly wants snow.............

hahahaha mamita, I need to get a bag too...hahahaha but, with this weather, I couldn't wait! I'm gorrila legging it in shorts today anyway hahaha

That sounds like a personal problem!

indeed! doesn't mean I have no shame to gripe about it on a public forum. HAHA! :)

Shaved mine and lost 10 pounds :)

:tmi:

Took the plunge yesterday. Since passing menopause I am much less hairy so it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.

LOL... to funny.. lol

just wait til you walk outside one warm day and feel an odd sensation. then you realize its just the hair flapping around on your legs in the breeze.

My excuse in the winter is that leg hair acts like Velcro and keeps my socks up.

you guys are funny, and I could use a laugh!! hehe!

You need clippers!

LOL!

This weather is INSANE! It's 77 degrees outside, and inside our air conditioner is running! :eek:

It's so good to be among kindred hairy spirits! :buds:
My excuse is that it provides extra insulation, but I like the sock/velcro idea too!
Anyone got some sheep shears you wouldn't mind loaning out? :help:

I'm just glad I'm blond so my hairy isn't so noticeable lol

You ladies are just too funny. Thanks for the laugh.

I need to do that too.

OOO, I had to do mine the other day. Had to get out the hair clippers to do the first run just so I wouldn't clog every razor I have

I remember the days when my mother and other female relatives didn't shave at all. They'd put on nylons (that came before panty hose) and those l o n g black hairsies looked absolutely gross under the nylons.

I will admit that I still shave weekly-legs and pits. I hate that stubby feeling against my clothing.

:shocked: hairy women :runforhills:

Steph- While I was doing mine I was thinking that the clippers would do a better job. It was in the 80s here in Northern Iowa today...

I haven't switched to shorts yet even though it's pretty warm here (70s-80s). I'm not actually sure where my shorts are right now . . . DH put them in storage with the other summer clothes . . .

Once I find them, though, I'm planning to use the clippers first to get the longest bits off. Then I'll switch to the razors. Given how short the clippers get my husband's beard, I think it might help! :grin:

It seems the shaving goes along with the transition to spring/summer as well as bringing out the summer clothes!! Both are always a dreaded job....

Mowed mine the other day so I could wear capris w/o scarying anyone!

I performed the ceremony yesterday, and gave myself a lovely cut on my ankle bone. So now I could wear shorts or capris, but the large bandaid would detract a little. Aaargh.

Not me, I'm waiting until it's long enough to braid. :D

and put beads on the end!

A little advice from a man. Next spring here's what you do. Clean up the yard/pasture and put all the trimmings in a pile. Wait for a cool windless morning. Go out in your shorts pour 2 liters of gasoline on the pile. Stand fairly close to the pile and wait 90 seconds (about long enough to try to tear off and try to light five paper matches) then toss a lighted match on the pile. In mere milliseconds all the hair on your legs will be gone. Trust me, it works well!!! Really, REALLY well. As an additional benefit if you have someone tape you, you might just discover some new dance moves.

then I put shorts on for the first time. I felt so naked, and my legs glow. so white you could park me out in the harbor to guide the ships home. it's pitiful I tell ya!

Starting to look at my beard with bad intentions...it seems to sense the end is near.

You are hilarious. You remind me of my high school friend. She would go all winter without shaving so she'd have extra insulation! Ha ha. I wonder if she still does that?

I wish I'd thought of using the clippers! Took a very long time to get the legs smooth last saturday. And, glad I'm not the only female who doesn't shave in the winter! This was my first year going all winter long, and the first winter I haven't scratched grooves into my dry itchy legs.

I'm gonna do mine tomorrow I think. I just need to get a gallon of gas for the lawn mower first.

For the winter festival in February where I live we always have a Hairy Legs contest. To lose is sad. To win even sadder. After that everyone shaves. I find long hair to be itchy under long johns. It can also lead to confusion and mistaken identity. Let's just say that at night, in bed, in the dark the cat who sleeps under the blankets has gotten a little too excited rubbing up against my legs.
