Unfortunately I have this same problem. I have learned to just accept that I have to shave almost everyday to get that stubble to go away. I think it's like this because we have been shaving for so long. The more you shave the thicker and faster the hair will grow back. Maybe you should try waxing. I hear that it lasts longer. I haven't tried it myself, but I've been thinking about it. For the moment I just do what I have to do and that's shaving when I need to.

Has a birthday present (one of) for my boyfriend, I put together a shaving package, it was the old fashion kind. You know the one that looks like a puck, {if memory serves it is called mugs), it is a small white box with blue writing on it, and you need the old fashion brush to lather this. You can put it in a small round bowl and it works great.
Like I said I purchased it for him, but I once ran out of my shaving cream and figured I would use his till I made it to the store. It worked GREAT. I have never used traditional shaving cream since.
You can find all these product in the men's shaving department at Walmart.

Do not shave dry skin. Wet your skin and let the moisture soften your skin. Shaving is a natural exfoliator and if your skin is dry, your razor will get blocked with dead skin and you are likely to nick yourself as well.
Do not waste money by buying creams specially made for women, as they are almost the same as those made for men.
To find the perfect razor you will just have to use all those available and choose the one that you like best. You can ask your friends who shave to recommend razors. Look for a razor with lubricated strips, pivoting heads and spring mounted multiple blades.
Exfoliate before you shave to ensure that the dead skin cells do not clog your razor and prevent a close shave.
For your legs you will have begin shaving from your ankles and then work upwards. For your underarms you will have to shave in every direction as hair grows in every direction under your arm.
After you have finished shaving apply oil or moisturizer. The skin on your leg has few oil glands and hence may become dry.
When hair curls back under the skin it caused ingrown hairs. To avoid ingrown hairs exfoliate everyday and use a glycolic acid body lotions.
If you have a chronic case of ingrown hairs then use a lotion that is specially made for ingrown hairs, that is easily available at the chemists. Apply it in the morning and at night and the bumps will vanish within a few days.
If you shave your legs coarse hair will grow back fast. Therefore consider waxing your legs at least.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck

Try exfoliating first. I'm a man and found it makes shaving the face much easier and smoother and longer-lasting. My wife does the same for shaving her legs with similar rave reviews. Good luck!

Use hair conditioner instead of shaving creme, I read it in a magazine one time and it really works! It moisturizes your skin while you shave.

Waxing works best for smoothness and takes longer for the hair to grow back.
