Era Males - do you shave your legs?

[HTupolev]

As a cyclist I really should, but right now I don't. I always think about how much more effort it takes to apply sunscreen, and I think about how much more aerodynamic I'd be, etc... and then I think about the effort that it would take and I don't bother.

 

[The Curry Witch]

I don't, but most girls I know use lasers, so that they have to shave less often, and to fend off hairy and interstellar invaders alike.

I you shave your legs and don't use a laser, it seems to me, you're doing it wrong.

 

[Lowrys]

No, because I'm not an Olympic swimmer.

 

[TheBaldwin]

Nah.

I try and maintain my body hair everywhere else. But nobody ever cares about the leg hair

 

[Trick_GSF]

I'm 33 and cannot grow hair on my legs, well I do but the hair is super fragile comes away easy. They are almost completely bald, along with my arms. I get hair everywhere else and seems normal.

I often wear trousers or jeans even in Summer because I got asked so many times why I shave my legs. I asked my doctor once out of interest and he didn't have any diagnosis, just said it is what it is and it wont likely change. Such is life I suppose.

 

[Dr Doom]

During summer when it's short season

 

[MrCibb]

I do not. But I did get my legs waxed for a bet and it was fucking weeeeeeeeeeeeeird. My legs felt so much colder. I felt every breeze.

 

[ColdSun]

Occasionally. If it wasn't such a pain, it'd be much more regularly.

 

[Huncho_Houdini]

Nah, never hat even really thought about it.

 

[Stone Dudeman]

I did it once out of curiosity, and I liked the smooth feeling after. But I am a very hairy dude so maintaining it would be more work that I'm willing to commit to.

 

[Navidson REC]

Swimmer; so yes.

I'm a lifelong swimmer. I've done it once in my life (for a national meet actually, but more as a "team activity" and less because I believe that it actually helps. If Mark Spitz could crush records left and right with that glorious mustache, a little leg hair won't hold me back)

Disclaimer: I also have a beard lol

 

[MisterSnrub]

I barely have hair on my damn legs, i could do the same work with tweezers in five minutes

 

[shenden]

It grew there for a reason, so no. And for some another weird reason, my girlfriend likes to pull them tiny strains.

 

[Herne]

Can't imagine I'd ever have a need to.

 

[Noctis]

I do cause I like my b-ball shorts/Jordan fresh look.

 

[Ojli]

Whoops! Pressed yes, when I meant no. The bigger question is, should I shave them?

 

[Reversed]

Did once in my dumbass youth days and regretted it. Not worth it even for the smooth legs

 

[Speedlynx]

Yup. Shave every bit of hair on my body except my eyebrows and head.

Feels great.

I did a quick research on this...



Holie shiet! :S

At least I can keep my beard...

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I shave my pits and my pubic hair, but don't touch my legs. They aren't the hairiest legs so it's never been an issue.

 

[Keikaku]

Tried it once and the pain in cold air was something terrible.

 

[Jakten]

If I shaved my legs I'd have no free time.

 

[Yoshi88]

Nah, shaving armpits and back, trimming down there as well as belly/chest occasionally. Legs and arms are left alone since forever.

 

[Aussiebattler]

My leg hair seems to just stay the same length, never seen any reason to. I do weirdly have bald patches on the back of my calves though and I wear shorts majority of the year.

 

[mhayes86]

I trim parts of my body, but overall I hate shaving. There's no way I'm touching my legs. Growing a beard has saved me so much money due to not having to shave my face every week.

 

[Red Liquorice]

No, I like my hairy legs. How do I like them, I like having them felt up. /wink

 

[IIFloodyII]

Nope, but not really all that hairy.

 

[Ruisu]

I would if it bothered me or if anybody I'm with cared. I surely don't mind shaving most other parts of my body.

 

[phonicjoy]

I would have to shave everything and cant imagine doing a good job on my backside.

 

[CreepingFear]

I only shave my face/neck.

 

[raYne_07]

No. Underarm and groin areas get trimmed once a week though, definitely.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

No, never done it, never considered it.

 

[OrangeNova]

I have way too much hair, so every other summer I do a full shave

 

[blitzblake]

How much slower do you cycle/swim with hairy legs? Couldn't you just wear body suit?

 

[Adventureracing]

I don't and neither does my wife.

 

[FearonDuve]

Nope, just my face and privates.

 

[Kromeo]

No, chest hair, pubes and under arms I trim

I believe it make some difference to swimming speed and none to cycling, if you believe QI (UK quiz show)

 

[Tttssd1972]

I do not. I'll trim/shave pretty much everything else except my arms/legs. Thankfully never grew much hair in those areas.

 

[AGoodODST]

No.

I did wax them for charity a few years ago though and as a a guy with pretty hairy legs, fuck me that hurt.

 

[Eidan]

I have very fine leg hair so most people assume I shave them, but I never have.

 

[25th Baam]

Legs no, but private parts wax it is baby

 

[SwampBastard]

No. I am not that hairy and I don't see the point.

 

[Reckheim]

i like my leg hair.

 

[Deleted member 22750]

 

[Hyun Sai]

Nah, unless I'm forced to (injury in a specific area).

 

[offshore]

I shaved my legs once early in my 20s, and I don't really know why because they weren't that hairy... HUGE MISTAKE.

When they started to grow back it was really uncomfortable trying to sleep because all the thick little hairs growing back would catch in the bed sheets constantly and was a real tickling sensation. Was horrible. lol.

 

[Maximo]

Nah but I trim everything else besides my legs/arms, having a close cut electric shaver is really nice to have.

 

[Prophet Five]

I have really hair legs so I've done it before but it takes a lot of time and I don't really enjoy the feeling of it when it grows back so I generally only do it one every two years when I forget how much I hate it lol

 

[phonicjoy]

Legs no, but private parts wax it is baby

Wax? Do you do that yourself? Doest it hurt? I get ingrown hairs from shaving so that could be a solution.
