I find what works on my face works just as well on my legs. (But I don't use the same razor or soap. Just the time honored Gillette twin blade razors, a brush and shaving soap. (The badger hair brushes have skyrocketed in price and don't hold up so I make my own. (2) 1/2" Home Depot bristle brushes, 99 cents ea epoxied together. Since I always have boatbuilder's epoxy ready to use, its really easy. And about $2.50 for a brush that lasts years instead of now $25 for months. That brush fits in a small tuna can, soap on the bottom. Gets me through a week at Cycle Oregon, face and legs at a cost of about 5 oz. My exception to not the same razor and soap. By the third day, no one cares! (60 pound bag limit - tent, sleeping bag, pad, all your clothes and everything else for a week less what you wear each day on the bike. A place where weight really matters. High school kids load all our gear into and out of 3 full semi-trailer trucks each day. 2000 bags.)
