First shave... ever...

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I guarantee you that you are doing it wrong....

Smooth... Very smooth...

No itch or anything yet. I'm pretty psyched that my legs are actually smoother than my wife's right now I don't think she actually expects me to shave, so it'll be a bit of a surprise anyway.

Though... I think I could get used to smooth legs. About the other parts... Don't get me started

if you dry shaved your ass, you should go squat in a bucket of oude jenever.

FWIW - I'd recommend "upkeep" shaving on the legs pretty frequently. It takes a lot less time to keep it up than it does to let it grow out a bit and then cut the nubs back.

Also - my SO does not like my face/legs/anything when the hairs are just starting to grow back. For me, this means I shave about every day. YMMV

I've had that electric razor for 8 months now- I'm a fan.

Yeah, I'm glad mine wasn't the last shaving thread. This sounds like a whole new reason to shave.

Incedentally, my wife approves also.
