Alrighty..
The hair on my legs is really thick and course to start off.
It seems like no matter what I do I get little nicks and razor burn.
And after I shave, the hair grows back by the end of the day.
And right after I shave, I have like red spots where the hair was.
They aren't bumps.. just spots.
It's weird.
I need help making this stop.

maybe you need a single blade razor...and to no use it as hard. but if grows back by the end of the day you should think about waxing or nair

Don't worry about it too much. I have the same problem, may hair is very thick and coarse too, also very fast growing.
I used to shave but because I had to do it so often, it got to be a real pain in the butt.
One solution I've found is buying and epilator. Veet just came out with one. It basically "tweezes" the hair out by the root. It's works great! The hair when it grows back is much thinner, and takes 2-3 days before it starts to regrow and some dont grow back at all.
I could recommend waxing, but my hair is so resistant waxing doesn't work and it hurts me way too much.
Goto a drug store like CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid. In the isle with razors, shaving creams, hair removers, look and you'll find the Nair brand Epilator I'm talking about it runs about $29-39. It's totally worth it though.

You'll be more comfortable and look MUCH better if you leave the hair alone. Lots of hair means good testosterone levels -- a real sign of manliness, and girls love it! Just stop fighting it and learn to love your body the way it is. If you accept yourself, then others will be comfortable being around you. Hairy legs are seriously HOT. Red spots aren't.

I'm assuming you're a guy so let me shave them for you... :) lol jk
Use lots and lots of CONDITIONER while shaving and put lots and lots of lotion on them when out of the shower. Other than that, i would definitely have to advise you to shave very slowly and lightly so your pores won't freak out. My skin does great if i b a r e l y touch the razor to it. :)

Maybe you don't have enough moisture in you legs. Have you tried putting lotion on after you shave? You know what I would recommend that you put on. Women's shaving cream that comes with lotion. It would keep your legs smooth and hopefully prevent it from being dry and having those red spots that you're talking about.

Sounds like you have a hefty supply of Testosterone. You may need help from a medical doctor. Pops
