When I shave my legs, it usually takes me 15 minutes to shave each leg. My legs are long but I feel as if I am still doing it too long. How long does it normally take you girls to shave your legs? Please help me!

I think that it is fine. Just shave however long you feel like. It'll seem quicker the more you shave. I suggest using Skintimate shaving cream and a Daisy razor or Intuition. They both work really well.

About 5-10 minutes. Invest in a good triple blade razor that has protection against cuts, the one that is aqua and white with that big moisturizing thing on it. And use a moisturizing shave gel that smells yummy! Then shave your lower (ankle to middle) calf, the middle, then top (knee to middle). Don't do your thigh! Not worth it. If you shave this way, you don't really miss anything! Make sure to moisturize when you are fresh out of the shower!

I use an Intuition razor with the shaving cream built in, and it takes me like 5 minutes for both legs...it's a wonderful invention. I used to spend so much time lathering up with shave gel or shaving cream and making sure I didn't miss anywhere, and now it's just zip, zip, the hair is gone.

Well, it's not too long I guess to make sure that they are smooth and all the hair is gone. Do you shave the whole leg or just like fromthe knees down? That would make a difference I suppose.

It takes me 15 minutes to shave both my legs,
it makes a difference in time if you use shaving cream too.
Or if you just shave with water and such.
Hope that helps.

the important thing to remember is that if you are comfortable with 15 min, then thats ok. do you shave in the shower or out? do you let the hair grow long? if your in the shower, you should sit and wait a good 5 to 10 min to let the hair hydrate, it will soften and be easier for you. now shaving the beave, thats an entirly different monster on it's own.

If your legs are bony, it can take a lot longer because you have to be much more careful not to cut yourself. I have to go really slow and go over the same area several times to get all the hair. I think that the amount of time you are spending is totally normal. As you get older, you will be able to go a little faster from years of practice. As long as you are happy with the end result, I think you are fine!

Takes me about 7 mins to shave legs and underarms.Shaving for this amount of time could leave you with terrible rash or dry skin,try veet waxing strips quick, painless(nearly) and you dont have to wax a often as you shave.

I'm really really tall and it takes me 10 mins for both legs. I used to take that long like you. but eventually i got used to shaving my legs. Waht also could be wrong is your razor might need a new blade. if you get a new blade it will go alot faster.
