Every hair on your body, whenever they're pulled or touched, excites a nerve ending. When you feel your unshaved legs, you have the nerve endings in your skin responding, as well as the nerve endings excited by the hair.

When you shave this hair off, the nerves that were once excited by the hair are no longer excited in the same way as they were before, so you feel like you've lost part of the feeling in your legs.

This is absolutely normal, and you have nothing to worry about. If you really don't like the feeling, just let your hair grow back and you'll get "full" feeling back.

Good luck and happy shaving! -Jp

It is probably because in order to shave you have to bend over and in doing so, cut off circulation to your legs. Exercise and stretching on a regular basis will help.

When you shave, rub your legs with some kind of lathering soap, and after you get out of whatever you are bathing in, rub lotion over your legs. It helps mine.

Hope THIS helps you :)

or maybe try using hair conditioner instead of shaving cream/gel. helps me(:

After shaving your legs for the first time they feel clammy and numb do shaved legs always feel this way or will it go away with time?

You will actually start to really like the feeling of shaved legs - but if you wait a while before your next shave at any time in the future and a lot of hair builds up, it will feel a bit clammy and a little "numb" (I know what you mean) until you get used to it. Good luck!

Your leg is very numb what should you do?

You should not walk on it, first of all. Most of the time my limbs (arms, legs) become numb when I have cut off circulation to them or pinched a nerve (?) by the way I am sitting or by an activity I am engaged in. If that is the cause, simply find another position so your leg is more relaxed. It should feel better quickly. If this does not solve the problem, I would call a doctor. Wait for it to un-numb then go about your day. ;)
