Chicken legs

Hi everyone!
I don't post on this bit most of the time but I thought someone might have some tips for me...
After you've shaved/waxed do any of you get that "freshly plucked chicken" look? I swear, my legs look like they have been denuded of feathers rather than just shaved. I exfoliate before I shave and moisturise afterwards, but they just look horrible. Any tips for avoiding it or can you tell me what causes it?
Thanks!

    I have the same problem. My advice is don't fake tan afterwards - it just highlighted the pores and I looked like a tangoed chicken instead!!
    I'll be grateful for tips too, otherwise its trousers this summer for me!

    I don't fake tan cos I'm rubbish at putting it on, also I'm so pale I end up looking ridiculous anyway lol. I just don't get why it happens?? I know it's pores, but why don't they close up when you put cold water on them like the ones on your face?
