Hmmm. Are you sure your razor is sharp enough? If it’s too dull that could be the cause - like, I have truly voluminous thighs, and I’ve always been able to shave them fairly well. I’m not sure why else the razor wouldn’t work!
OK, I have consulted with my cis-ster, who has delivered the following wisdom: “Nair is terrifying, use Veet instead if you have to since it’s gentler, but both of them are literally burning the hair off your skin with chemicals. Always test it first in a small spot, because it can give you some bad reactions. Other tips: try different positions (it could be the way you’re standing), make sure your razor is sharp enough, and make sure your shaving cream layer isn’t too thick! The optimal amount of shaving cream is a dollop, spread around your skin in a thin layer.” She recommends waxing as a last resort, but I think you mentioned that wasn’t an option, so try those other things first!
Also, if it helps any - some cis girls don’t shave above the knee! It’s not a requirement and you will definitely not be looked at strangely if you do not.
