NWO here, glad to see we made it to a second thread.

It's a Bic.

Do you have a lot of leg hair? (don't answer if you'd rather not)

I have more than my 35 year old father 3:

Do you have a lot of leg hair? (don't answer if you'd rather not)

I have more than my 35 year old father 3:

In that case:
Tip 1: use a buffering sponge and buff your legs prior to shaving.
Tip 2: you can trim the hair first, if it's too plentiful, using an electric shaver.
Tip 3: before applying shaving gel/foam, wash your legs with mild soap and warm water.
Tip 4: you can also use hair removing creams to get rid of a large portion of the hair to make it easier to shave with a razor.

Will there be blood? And what is a "Buffering sponge"?

Possibly, I've cut the back of my knee when shaving. And the odds of irritation are far greater still.

If you press too hard, you may nick the skin and cut so yes, there could be a little blood. Just be careful.

And the latter question?

Nana, this is McFucking amazing.

[Grenartia]

It just ran over them. Didn't actually shave them.

You need to apply pressure. It's going to hurt. A lot

While its true that you should apply pressure, if you're applying so much that it hurts, you're doing it wrong.

I'm scared I will make a mess, what with my parents and all

@ Geanna:

I found an interesting article on trans allies and I was wondering if you think it pertinent for me to post it.

I say go for it.

I'm scared I will make a mess, what with my parents and all

Something I do to minimize drain cloggage, is to only do relatively small areas at a time. Like, one day, do the crotch region, the next, do the thighs, after that, the lower legs, and from there, generally all over, getting any spots that have been missed, and generally finetuning the shave job, along with touchups as hair regrows.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Ok, not sure if anyone has ever read this article, but I was doing that earlier today and it felt like it was an eye opener. Since there are people who follow this thread who aren't transgender, agender or non-binary, I felt that this article brings some very interesting and helpful points for those of us who are allies.

We need to be more proactive. Being an ally is not just saying ''yes, I accept trans people''. That's just the tip of the iceberg and I thought this was too good not to share.

Actually, nevermind. This is already linked in the OP. Sorry.

I've literally never had that problem. I've only cut myself once while shaving anywhere, and that was on my face, when I was dry shaving.

While its true that you should apply pressure, if you're applying so much that it hurts, you're doing it wrong.

^ This. If you have a lot of hair, don't try to scrape it all off at once. Do it gradually, even if it takes an hour (you can do it in multiple segments if need be). Once you start to do it regularly, it's only a matter of shaving off the short hairs as they grow, like any other place you might shave. And yes, chances are you may cut yourself a few times, but it shouldn't hurt that much -- it's like a papercut. And if you have a million cuts, you're doing it wrong.

And mine was only when shaving over a stretch mark area. The skin's thinner there to begin with since it's been stretched.
