[melissa R green]

I believe that I was in the sixth or seventh grade as well when I learned 
about shaving my legs.
i still have my first electric razer.

Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, 
and you learn at once how big and precious it is.

I started needing to shave when I was in the fifth grade. I first used
an electric razor, but found it didn't shave close enough. I think my
mother was extremely worried about me cutting myself with a regular
razor, because instead of giving me one, she taught me to shave using
a depilatory cream. Unfortunately I got a horrific rash from the
cream, so she then encouraged me to go get my legs waxed, which was an
experience I would not wish upon even my worst enemies. It was so
painful that I literally walked out of the salon with half of one leg
shaved and the rest unshaved. Finally when I was 14 or so I learned to
use a regular disposable razor and have never turned back. I think in
general it is wise to start with the most effective tool for the job,
even if it's a sharp knife or a sharp razor, instead of using a
less-effective tool, getting frustrated and potentially making
mistakes. I have cut myself a few times with the hand razor, but it
was never a serious injury. Encourage her not to press too hard and to
be sure to use soap or shaving cream (I prefer soap myself) and she
should be fine.
