I inherited my husband's old one, bought it new blades, and have used it for years now.
Poor Joyce! Does laughing make you hurt worse? Because I know a married couple our age who enjoyed some romance in a hotel shower, until the towel bar gave way and she went down hard, breaking both her elbows and one foot... Maryn, hoping Joyce feels lucky in comparison |

![]() Thanks for the laugh! I could just see that happening. I can only imagine telling the ER what happened. Which made me think about something that happened to a friend of ours a few weeks back. His wife died over a year ago and he met this lady who has monkeys. Well, they were getting it on and one of the monkeys ran up between his legs and bit him on the balls. He had to go to the ER and was actually hospitalized over night. He could barely walk for several weeks because they were infected, swollen and needed draining. I told him his dead wife sent the monkeys to get revenge because she was a jealous soul. I can't even imagine telling the ER that a monkey almost bit my family jewels off.

((((((HUGS))))) Joyce gently! With a herniated disc myself and back pain I can so relate to your agony. I so wish you didn't have to go thru that and to have that hairy leg still, is just ... wrong. You take care, know I'm thinking of you 'n prayers sent.

There's IPL if you don't care for the electric needles of electrolysis. Here's an Australian page which explains some of IPL: http://hairfreeplus.com.au/FAQ just expand the sections you want to read more about. It's not extensive but it gives you some idea of what to expect.
Currently I can't find a price list... maybe I haven't looked hard enough? But I looked into IPL a couple of years ago, and IIRC it was cheaper than electrolysis (and not painful, which is what really attracted me to it). I'll keep looking for a price guide, cos I'm sure I found one last time I looked... But I'm linking you to IPL because maybe you can find a local place that does it? (And why I'm considering IPL is because I HATE my facial hair, and hate shaving even more... so IPL treatments might be just what I'm looking for, if I can ever afford it.) ETA: I need a job. ![]()

When I remodeled my wife's bathroom some years ago, I included a seat built into the shower wall where she could sit and shave her legs. Of all the work that went into the bathroom, that seat is what she likes best.
For safety reasons, maybe that's something Joyce would consider building inside her shower area.

well, you might think y'all have it tough - but spare a thought for Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

I know it goes against the grain in some cultures, but one sure-fire way of avoiding injury in the shower for some women is to simply forgo shaving altogether.
My mom never did (French) nor the women on my dad's side (Italian). I remember my sisters pining for the blade, and they weren't allowed its use until their late teens, I believe. My wife has gone through periods where she's stopped shaving for long stretches of time. I don't know what brings it on, but she still looks and feels great either way, so I don't mind. |

I keep trying to think of something to say here, but I'm at a loss.
![]() I don't shave my legs often, though. I don't really have enough hair that's dark enough to be visible, so it's not worth it most of the time, imo.

You know...if all the women of the world (or at least the countries that shave) would unite and say "NO MORE", the men would have to just shut up and put up with it! lol...I say that but in truth, I find myself rubbing my legs a lot after I shave...I like the feeling of it!
