Still have prickly legs after shaving!?

After I shave, I feel my legs, and there are stil hairs left! Its so annoying because I want silky smooth legs. I tried nair, and that just made the hair a little bit shorter. I tried shaving in all different directions and its still there. Help? and no waxing...or lazer hair removal

Update:

and even with a brand new razor blade, its still the same. And I use the gillete (or whatever) mens hair razor

Update 2:

I tried girl razors and they are even worse

    Have you tried an epilator?

    It’s like a little device with about 20 plucking-type mechanisms on it, and you turn it on and run it up and down your legs. It spins around and around, and it plucks all the hairs out.

    Sounds painful, and it is a LITTLE bit (especially behind the knees!), but the pain wears off once you get going and it’s just like a tingling sensation.

    I use an epilator on my legs, then go over afterwards with a razor.

    Leg hairs suck!

    Oh, and use a females razor – It’s designed for female skin.

    A men’s razor is designed (generally) for their face, which is a completely different skin type to that of your legs.

    Uh I hate that, I had that problem for the longest time now even though it sucks I use nair first then a razor right after. It takes forever but gets the best result. and to keep from having to do this every week I shave daily to keep new hair from pooping up at the wrong moment
