my best friend has the same problem... until she tried her brothers razor. Men's razors can be tougher, but your legs may need that. If you dont feel comfortable using a man's razor, then buy a regular one with alot of blades, to be sure to remove all hair. Shave with your razor at a sharper angle, between 45 and 70 degrees.
Use body lotion on your legs, or an oil spray perfume for the ultimate soft.

Why not get an electric razor? I got one and it's great. I don't have to take a shower to shave. I can dry shave and I can shave whenever and where ever I want to. My razor can even be used in the shower. Other than that I don't know what to tell you. I know Nair doesn't work and I didn't like Veet when I tried it either. The only other route is waxing. Maybe the pain will be worth it if your legs stay smooth a long time. Any idea how long a wax job lasts?

Hair grows faster in warm weather, so if you live up north you may be able to shave every other day during the cold months.
Aside from waxing, there is a method called threading. The technique pulls hair out from the root, so results last about a month.
Laser is expensive and requires several treatments, but it's worth it. I have had 2 laser tx so far and in between tx, I shave maybe every 10 days. (I used to be a daily shaver also)

You're just going to have to get them waxed. I, too, have tried everything else on the market, and trust me: the only thing that works for significant periods of time is having your legs waxed.
It's really not as painful as you'd think, and the more you get them waxed, the less the hair grows back. Try it. Your legs will stay smooth for up to six weeks. It works for me.

you can use those machines that rip the hair out, roots and all. but waxing is much less painful.
Do the wax because after you do it a few times the roots become weak and it's easier.
I can help you with the brazilian part.....

I know it sounds kinda gross but don't shave so often, the more you shave, the more thicker and quicker it grows back. I shave like once a week and my legs are always smooth, Good Luck

i tried using somehting like sanding paper (cant remember the name) that you can buy in Boots and you just go with it over you legs and it smooths out the stubbles.

I hear that lazer hair removal is pretty safe. I was actually going to try it on my underarms, but they were really expensive. If money is not a problem, then you can try it out.

try a hair minimizing lotion.....it will make the hairs softer and wont feel as bad.....and if will help you not have to shave so often cause the hair wont be as thick.
