So, I haven't shaved my legs in 2 days so they were a bit prickly. I didn't have the sheeps wool, just little pricks on my legs. I've been so busy that I haven't had the time to shave them and all my showers were quick -30 second showers. So yesterday I went to bed with the prickles and all and now as I woke up I noticed my prickles are gone and my legs are smooth and they smell like Veet. ; O;" Turns out my boyfriend snuck into my room last night and spent the next 15 minutes shaving my legs because they apparently bothered him to no end. I don't really understand why he had to resort to ambushing me while I was a sleep.

So, erm, GD.

I wish my bf would do that. XP
But, no, I don't really get all overworked about shaving my legs unless I'm wearing a skit. My B doesn't care for the most part. (Maybe because he has no right to complain about hair, he is one of the hairiest people I've ever met. lol I think it's cute, but he's insecure about it.)

Like right now, I haven't shaved them in about a week. Not because I haven't showered or had the time, but because I don't see the point right now. I usually go out about once or twice a week, three tops because I can't drive, rarely is anyone home and we live on a freaking mountain. (No busses, and it's 5 miles to even the nearest bus stop, much less anything interesting.) And when I go out, I can't really wear my skirts anyways. (Long story, don't ask.)

And since my bf doesn't care, I don't see what the big deal is. I don't exactly like the feel of hair on my legs, but my legs don't shave right. (I could use tons of shaving cream and my legs would still feel like sandpaper when I was done half the time (Though once, I bought Veet to try and use it, and although it didn't work well on my legs, it made a hell of a lot better shaving cream... though the smell made me gag.)

Basically, I don't think not shaving is a big deal, and I think it's funny that your boyfriend did it.

I imagine that sleeping next to someone who has prickly legs would be irritating xD
I'm glad I'm a guy and don't have to worry about leg shaving. Facial shaving is tiresome enough.
I don't think I could sleep through someone shaving me though. I'd probably wake up and kick them thinking they were attacking me or something o_o

oh my god.. that's just really.. shallow! :| I'd be so mad at my husband if he'd do that!

I don't shave my legs for months usually. my hair is soft, very very blond and unnoticeable (<- is that a real word??). I only shave it in the summer, but maybe like once in a week or two :|

I don't think anyone has the right to judge someone because they don't shave, and they have no right to tell you to shave every freaking day >.>

-laughs hard-

You ave a boyfriend that can shave your legs : O Like that you don't have to worry so much about shaving them .. HE WILL DO FOR YOU xD

I'm not a big fan of shaving legs but of course I do it when summer is coming and when I'm wearing a skirt u.u

But geez... It's not like you were with your legs looking like a jungle of hair o.O

I wish someone would shave my legs for me. D= Then I wouldn't have to risk falling over in the shower. >.<

I've been fed when I was ill once, even though I wasn't all that ill and could have probably made the food myself, let alone eaten it. xD

My guess is that one person's "little prickles" is another's "jungle of hair." I personally don't complain regardless of the frequency or infrequency my wife shaves, just like she rarely complains if she doesn't have smooth cheeks to snuggle up to when I don't feel like shaving either. Obviously we both prefer it the other way, but we don't complain for the most part.

Also: How in the hell did you not wake up while your legs were being Veeted? Did he at least do a good job?

that's really funny, actually. xD
if anything, i'd yell at my boyfriend if he did that. merr. it'd make me feel so bad. but i'm one of those self-conscious people where everything makes me feel bad. x3
"you're pretty." "YOU SAYING I'M NOT GORGEOUS?! >:U"
that'd be pretty cool though, actually. like having a little man slave. too lazy to shave your legs? someone will do it for you! you don't even have to be awake while they do it! o 3o
i suppose the only real reasons i could be pissed would be because it's like he cares that much about my legs being smooth and if he were to cut me, well, i'd be pretty angry.

How on earth did you sleep through that? :shock:

My husband doesn't care if my legs get a bit prickly... or at least, he's too scared to tell me if he does!

:shock:
I have to say, that's just a bit creepy. I can't imagine someone shaving me while I'm asleep. I'd kick anyone out of the house that did something like that.

If he's that particular about your legs, I hope that he shaves every single day too. It's only fair.

I hate hate hate HATE pricklies.
They itch like hell.
My boyfriend really doesn't care about it, but I sure as hell do.

On a similar note, I do wish he'd shave his face more, though.

That's really really weird. I'm very tempted to ask my boyfriend now if he'd assault me with a razor in the night. My legs are a little prickly right now I did them ooooonnn Wednesday....I think. I usually use that veet in shower thing lasts ages but I scratched my legs so bad I have a few little cuts, they were sooo itchy it was driving me mad, so I can't use my veet till they've healed up and I'm a div and keep scratching the scabs off.

My boyfriend keeps asking if I need help moving out, I know he's trying to be nice and I know I've made him go without seeing me for like 3/4 weeks because of uni work but I am quite capable of moving out without help, well except from my Dad he has the car. I am thinking of letting him though because it will make him happy.

I've asked him and he's adamant that he would not attack me with a razor in the night, he says I'm perfect the way I am even if that does include prickly legs.

Haha.. I thought like.. how the heck did you do that.. like go to sleep with pricks on your legs and woke up without XD
Didnt see that one comming.
My boyfriend´s got very hairy legs.. it bothers me a bit but no that I would shave his legs while he is sleeping.
Hmm.. if he would complain on my legs(only shave when I have the time) I would go "
Yh.. the day you wax your legs then I´ll also do it X´D" Haha! I can see his reaction infront of me XD

WELL DAMN HE MUST HAVE BEEN PRECISE.

It is amazing that your boyfriend did that. I'd be laughing hysterically.

Has he had much practice with the ninja shaving? Or was this is first?

Well, I pretty much always wear knee high socks except around the house (unless it's cold). I am The Sock Queen, I'm supposed to be working it, after all. ;) And, I epilate my legs now, but I'm not in a rush to do it. And, I've no boyfriend, of course if I did he wouldn't necessarily be seeing my legs :o I mean ... erhm, weird. I personally prefer to be hairless from the waste down, but as I said, if I'm not, it's not an issue. I'm the only one who knows, so to hell with everyone else, haha. It may sound lazy, but I don't make an effort to please others with my body... heck, not at all actually. I'm all about looking good for me, and that's not being vain, that's just exhibiting confidence about my own dress. So, I get to my legs when I get to them, and I shan't be hurried about it.

Seems a bit rude to me really, that your boyfriend did that. I know you date him, but, it's not His body. If it were that big a deal he might have just opening his mouth about it later, instead of you waking up with your legs violated XD kekeke.

That made my day, personally as a female I don't really care about shaving at all, I wear clothes that do expose those areas. However in the summer I kinda have to due to summer band uniforms....scratch that uniforms in general due to what you have to wear under them. Anyway, I actually use to be scared to death about shaving due I was afraid of hurting myself so badly, I now prefer the doing the shaving the non-electric way, that is probably why I got scared of shaving for so long. Bout the only thing I hate shaving is the fact that I don't always get the back of my legs, ugh or some parts of of the ankle.

Erm, well, Loubie is sorta...a heavy sleeper. <- Slept through the hurricane when she went down to Florida to visit her aunt.

I asked him why he did it and his answers was "Just 'cozz *shifty eyes" I'm not exactly sure what thaat means. Or what else he's doing to me while I'm asleep. O: I wouldn't be suprised if I wake up one morning bald, I'd lol for a bit then pinch him. I didn't think my prickles were that annoying. ;_; After I yelled at him in question for his secret shaving he bought me a Happy Meal at McDonalds so all is well for now. BUT IF HE DOES IT AGAIN AND I END UP MOVING AND HE ENDS UP CUTTING MY LEG I'MMA BE SO SORE AT HIM! Then again Veet can't cut you, it only burns a little. He did a very good job but he sorta missed the knees in fear of waking me up, I guess? I'm seriously/violently ticklish there.

I would be so pissed if someone did that to me. Oh he owes you big time, next time you tell him its time to groom something and he doesn't do it for him.

Hope your sheets are okay. Every time I try to use Veet or nair my eyes water and I start to cry. Not to mention the rash from the chemicals.

Veet itches so badly. He didn't do that bad of a job and luckily for me I had no cuts on my legs.

Hee, I don't really think he'd mind and I don't really think he sees the problem in shaving me while I'm K.O.'d :'D Maybe it's just an English gentleman thing. Who knows?

That's actually hilarious. I'd laugh so fucking hard if my boyfriend did that.

But he doesn't really mind my pricklies much. I don't shave that often... I wear pants all the time, anyway...
and the hair is a lightish brown, so you can't see them unless you're really looking. He says he doesn't notice unless he's stroking my leg or something. Obviously, then he does. But really, he has no right to complain about stubble. He has it no matter how much he shaves.

Lucky.

Loubie has dark brown hair so of course the hair on my legs aren't a desirable light colour. I don't really like shaving because I have really pale skin and the razor bumps can be seen in broad day light or in the dark of night they're so bad. Even worse than that they itch like a mothaa. -__-

I'd be rather peeved if someone did that to me but then again I have no right to speak on this after a certain camp where my friend and I snuck into they guys' sleeping area and applied that de-hairing cream on our guy friend's legs in patterns.

We were quick and quiet. He didn't know until someone pointed it out that he had heart-shaped bald patches on his legs. He was one of the hairiest guys I knew. Ah, good times.

*runs around looking for second clue*

Heehee, that's sounds like brilliant fun. Overly hairy people aren't much fun, especially when it's hot out. That's just...*winces* ew. -_-;;
