If you cut yourself it hurts terribly. Or if you have a lot of hair to shave it will get caught in the razor and it could pull the hair which would hurt. But if neither of that happens it shouldn't hurt at all.

Two reasons - blunt razor and because you are scraping the top-most layer(s) of skin off, making the surface of the leg far more sensitive. Both apply to men who shave their face infrequently, its not only legs.

Only if you cut yourself.

Answer #2 - Not if you do it right. (In fact, your skin should feel refreshed after shaving.)
