Advice on how to do it: a women's razor makes for a better shave.  I got this from a laydee whose boyfriend had been converted to the delights of the sisterhood's shave, and it's been a revelatory experience.

Really? I gave up on women's razors long ago, they are more expensive, and less good. I use a men's mach 3, works well for legs, & arm pits.

Indeed all the ladies of this household use men's razors (except that there is now investment in waxing technology as I understand it.
Not my business provided they warn me before pinching the last of my razors).

Well, I just did the first defoliation of the season with my Mach 3 and I think I'll stick to the trans-shaving from now on.  The larger area helps.  Admittedly, keeping it short is much easier than getting it short in the first place.

I tried pink razors last year too but after one effort went back to my black/silver weapon.

beard trimmer set to the lowest setting and then with the guard off,

a very short stubble is advised if you are intending to tape your legs with that funky KT tape.

An adjustable double edge razor set to "maximum" will remove body hair completely in a single pass with no clogging of the blade. 
I can recommend the merkur futur, truly a thing of beauty and functionality :thumbsup:

Wow, that’s fast!

Afraid I don’t even shave my chin, never mind my legs. Perhaps I should try sometime, but not sure how it would go down at the start of a cell race for grizzled old b*ggers

More autocorrect gibberish? At least I can’t understand it (or many posts these days).

Meanwhile, I shaved my legs this morning. Looks and feels fun! Let’s hope the dazzling whiteness will diminish.

Ah! Maybe others would have figured that out.

True. Shaved legs may be hard to explain to some crowds. Even the odd family member may not approve.
