Leg Hair Removal

50Twuncle

I am a bloke - blokes should not be asking such questions but I have to remove all the hair/fur from one leg to allow a physio therapist to apply some "ROCK TAPE" to my leg !!

Problem being how to remove said hair ?

I can either charge up my (normal face) shaver and try that
I can use wax strips
or I can use hair removal liquid

Which should I use ?

I'd like to be evil and suggest wax; however I'll be kind and suggest you shave.

or you could get some disposable razors and use them?

I vote for this, get some fairly decent ones though, shaving foam or cheap hair conditioner and off you go.

Another option which maybe quicker and easier for you is hair removal cream such as Veet, smells a little and available in Poundland. You may need a couple of tubes depending on how long & erm hairy your legs are.

Good luck with the physio

I don't fancy cutting my legs with cheap razors !!

This seems to be my best option - how long will they stay hair free - or does it start to grow again straight away ?
ps My legs are normal length (and go from my ar?* - all the way to the ground without too many breaks !!)
The hairs on the other hand are quite long and numerous.

I contemplated waxing - but had second thoughts !!

In your situation I'd just use hair removal cream, I use veet sometimes, gets all the hair off and is painless. I also don't suffer with shaving rashes or cuts if I use it. It's about £6 and so cheaper than waxing.

Book in at a salon and get your legs waxed that way - the wax is hot and is far better than those home strips you can use.

Veet - it does grow back pretty quickly though. Rock tape sticks v well and removing it will hurt!!!

Eventually - I just used my normal razor - the beard trimmer
and followed this up with my wifes lady shave !


My legs were smooth and hair free - however, the rock tape, applied by the physio this afternoon, refuses to stick to my legs - so that was a waste of £11 and extremely embarrassing - walking around in shorts with womanly legs !!
