Well - my curiosity got the best of me. Last Saturday, I got out the clippers (think Sasquatch) & then shaved off the rest of the hair in the shower. At first, it felt great. I could put lotion on my legs & not have all of it absorbed by the hair.

Sunday, it started to grow out & REALLY began to get irritated. I could barely sleep Sunday night. My legs felt like cactus or two pocupines trying to get close. My worst fears were realized. Now, by Wednesday, it's just starting to get to be tolerable. I was thinking I could go a week between shaves but come next Saturday, I won't want to start the whole process again.

I felt like I was wearing a pair of steel wool boxer shorts. Maybe most women don't have such coarse hair but I don't know how they tolerate it.

If you haven't tried it and are at all curious, learn from my mistake and don't let vanity rule over comfort.
