Shaving Snowdrop

I don't mean shaving my facial hair (although I did that as well).

I hate my body hair. I want it gone, forever, and never coming back, if possible. Those who've read my gender identity and body image questionnaires will remember that this was a very definite answer to questions about things I'd like to change!

So today I finally did something about it, and with a newly selected shaving "system" (the Morrisons own-brand "Chique" products) I hacked my way through the forest that was my leg, belly, chest and arm hair (I can't reach my arse or my back to do those, or I would - in fact, when I find myself a sub, one of her duties will be to shave the bits I can't do myself!) One other caveat: I didn't do my pubes (too nervous of slipping up down there).

This time was a lot more successful than the last time I did my legs: I cut myself quite badly doing that and, if my memory serves me, the scars that I still have from when I got an infection in y leg match up pretty closely to the places where those cuts happened - not a good outcome that time! No cuts at all this time, although a tiny nick on the right elbow, and also I noticed a little one under my left nipple (but no pain there).

The elbows are definitely the hardest part to do that I can actually reach - I can't figure out any way except to look in the mirror to do them, and it's so awkwardly shaped, very knobbly indeed (the knees are almost as bad in that regard).

It's taken me about 2 hours to do - I don't know how much that is to do with the fact that it was forest-clearing work (I'm guessing women don't normally have to shave their titties!), and how much to do with that's how long body-hair removal takes - but it's a new appreciation of the investment that women are expected to make in their appearance.

Anyway, there is a reason why I felt it was worthwhile to go through all that palaver and put simply, it's that I love the outcome. I love the way my body looks when I've got rid of my body hair. I love the way my body feels, and without the coating of hair blocking them, suddenly every sensation of touch sees that much more alive and real. I love the way it makes me feel inside - sleek, sexy, sensual. I feel so fresh and vibrant, it's fabulous.

All of which leads to you asking (you're so kind!): "if you feel so sexy, and love the look - when do we get to see it!?"

And the answer is - right now! I think I look beautiful here, and I hope you agree.

(For more pics, fuller length and probably NSFW, there's a post on my other, NSFW, blog)

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
