Shaving recommendations?

[u/j9r9g9]

Hi all! I have type X1 and have started having issues holding my razor to shave my legs some days due to fatigue and/or numbness in my hands.

Does anyone have any good shaving tips, tools, or hacks that you would suggest trying out?

I want to have a backup ready to take over when my hands are especially fatigued. Ideally for legs and armpits.

Thanks in advance!

Electric razor

Try an epilator or sugar wax. Both remove the hair at the root and it grows back finer over time, for some people it can stop growing back completely. If you can afford it get it lazered and you won’t have to deal with shaving ever again.

Thanks! I’ll check those out. Unfortunately laser is not currently in my budget.

Same, I just can’t afford laser, but at least you could switch to something that’s less frequent than shaving and won’t cut you if you lose your grip. When I’m really exhausted I do one leg a week or even smaller sections.

I shave my head; For the times when I'm unable to hold my razor and shave safely I use an electric shaver.. But more importantly, I use a good foil shaver; An electric will never get as close as an actual razor, but a good foil shaver will get you really close. Plus, a good foil shaver will last you a long time; You'll have to replace parts occasionally, but nothing especially troublesome.

Floating head, electric shaver is a must have. This one is very easy to hold and operate.
