    Most men agree when we shave our face to start with the grain, however i believe most women shave against the grain from foot to hip. Do those of you who use de's shave foot to hip still or do you go hip to toe and then do another pass...im thinking toe to hip is fine because womens leg hair is finer than mens beards...

    just wondering about this so i can let my wife know what most women are using as a technique

    In the process of converting her to a DE user, I shaved my wife's legs several times. I always did a WTG pass before going ATG, and she has continued to do so on her own. She says it's much better for avoiding irritation and nicks (the DE and quality lather probably help, too).

    No, just a directional reference really.

    More ankle to top of leg.
