Is it normal to shave, not wax?

I've tried waxing, but it hurts like hell, and I only tried my legs!!! I don't know if I'm more sensitive to pain than most people, but all my friends wax with no problem but I just can't. So I shave. Is it normal? Because I know no one that does it instead of waxing. I'm afraid that as I get older, the hair will start to get really thick and I won't be able to show my legs or go to the beach.

    I shave, I have been waxed before and it's not *that* bad, but it's not *that* much better than shaving to tell you the truth. They tend to miss the little hairs so you might end up having to shave after getting a wax anyway!
    It's completely normal to shave C:

    I have tried waxing my legs, but somehow I got bruises from it. I stick with shaving now.

  • Screw waxing. I agree, it hurts like hell (I'm sensitive to pain), and I'm not really willing to go through pain for 'beauty'.
    So I shave every now and then :d You can always give waxing another try in the future, of course.

    Shaving doesnt cause any change to hair, they're all myths.
    Waxing gets easier with use, your friends are just tolerant.

    If you get on a routine, every 4-5 weeks, it is less painful each time because the hair grows in softer and finer from waxing. If you waiting and only do it once in a while it could be unpleasant every time because the shaving makes the hair course and more resistant.

    Suck it up! You can do it! ;)
