I'd never use a razor again.

Wow, you are brave!

I did some research and I would have to get the nicest one which is rather expensive, but I added it to my "wish list" as a possibility. Thanks for the idea!

I will take any suggestions at this point...I already use Aveeno shave gel for sensitive skin so I know it's not the shaving cream, and I have tried a few razors, but am getting confused which ones I have tried.

Thanks!

Maybe you should try something other then shaving. Try waxing (make sure its wax for sensitive skin) or hair removal creams.

I have sensitive skin too and developed horrible rashes from waxing and epilatory creams. At the moment I use Gillette Venus divine - these are the blades with the solid gel on the sides. I found that they really do glide over your legs so smoothly that it doesn't feel like shaving. Alternatively, I use the Venus divine blades, which I think have four blades, with a women's sensitive shave gel. I find i am much more likely to cut myself with disposable razors. Good luck.

Hair removal creams cause a CRAZY rash! ugh, sigh.
And nooo way to waxing. I have a ton of tattoos but waxing hurts much more!

thanks for the ideas, though!

If I use razor on my legs, I get hair back in a day like thorny bush. Any ways to avoid this.

Heck I get hair back in 12 hours or less no matter what I shave with...I think some people's leg hair just grows faster than others. Funny though because it takes me YEARS to grow my hair out.

I know some ladies that can go a week without shaving and the hair on their legs is thin and blonde. I have a very pale complexion but have jet black hair on my legs. So even when I've just shaved you can see the underlying hair and within a few hours its back again, and so thick. Getting goosebumps or the slightest chill after shaving causes the hair to protrude and feel like I didn't even shave

I can't use nair or any other hair depiliating cream, it'll make my skin blister.
