I'm having a hard time hold the razor to shave my legs, I've tried different razors, a women's electric razor (which did squat). And with being summer I can't wear pants all the time plus going swimming. I know I shouldn't care but with only being 29 it bothers me plus my hair is dark brown almost black and really thick.

Does anyone have any ideas that would help?

I have tried nair like a long time ago and it felt like my legs were burning. I would love to get them waxed but can't afford… read more

Members rallied around someone struggling to shave their legs due to rheumatoid arthritis, with many relating to the challenge of holding razors, dropping them frequently, and dealing with nicks and cuts. Several members enthusiastically recommended Veet hair removal cream for sensitive skin as a game-changing alternative to shaving, noting it works well on legs, underarms, and bikini lines without the burning sensation that Nair can cause, though others suggested epilators, chunky-handled razors like Intuition with built-in shaving cream, pre-waxed strips, or even asking a trusted partner or friend for help. The original poster returned to share that Veet worked perfectly for her, met with celebration from the community and a shared sense of relief that a practical solution had been found.

This is the best question ever!!! I can hold the razor although I may drop it a few times! For me is the energy to do it a lot of the time. But I'm 44, married 19 years and blonde. lol! It's when my pants start pulling the hairs that I can't stand it anymore! I hope you can find a solution!

I use the razor that has the shaving cream built in ... it is called Intuition there are a few out there;
try to get at Sams or Costco as it can get costly because the cream wears off on the side you use the most and the other side is perfect; when that happens, I just rub the cream on my legs and use the razor.
