    Default Is there a section for girl's shaving?

    I know there is a wiki on leg shaving, but I want to find information for my girlfriend and help her out, but it seems like the majority of the people on here are men who say "do the same thing" but it would be helpful to hear from girls on which soaps etc. they use to give my gf some better tips than just the ones I've gotten for my face.

    There is a ladies Social Group, but you'll have to be approved before you are allowed to join. I'm not sure what the actual requirements are to join that group, but I know that forum wide there is a 45 day 50 post requirement to join any of the social groups.

    Honestly, skin is skin, hair is hair, and ymmv is ymmv -- there's as much variation in what women like as what men like. Women do tend to like different scents than men do, but not as much as you'd think. If anything, women's shaving is easier since the hair are finer (and all grows in pretty much one direction).

    I definitely noticed that just watching her shave, I could never swipe the razor over my face like she swipes it. But she definitely was not happy with the scents, and I don't know anything about leg shaving, I was not even sure if they used the same soaps or if there were ones for "legs" I would only have her join the social group, I've never shaved my own legs.

    I guess I will just search the forums some more, there are some soaps I found that were made for females (scent-wise) but I only saw a vendor or two, I need to keep looking I guess.

    I'm also guessing you're right about some of the scents being unisex or liked by both, some guys like the floral scents and I know she'd like that one (not sure about myself though! maybe lavender).

    Sorry to disagree but skins is not skin when you're talking legs and face. Your face is way more sensitive than my legs. Leg hair is not SO much finer as a rule. And the hair on one someone's leg might not be as fine as another's and the direction of growth does vary a bit. But you are correct, sir, on the scent issue and I would also agree that in general leg shaving has GOT to be easier than face shaving.
