Shave what???

I am not a fan of hair, so I would be thrilled to see your smooth legs.

Get waxed, as the hair is pulled from the root and the regrowth tends to be longer.

Let us know what you decide.

Get to the root of the problem, get an epilady... :devil:

Ok, I'd prefer to hear from the women on this topic, as they're the only opinions I really care about on this topic. I cycle alot, and keep in pretty good shape. Cycling culture has always included a bit of a ritual that people who consider themselves cyclists and want to "join the club" - shave their legs. This used to be for reasons of getting massage, healing road rash, etc. Those that aren't pro's still do it to show their dedication to the sport - and it shows definition beyond belief.

So, here's the questions, ladies...

1. What would you think of a guy like me laying next to you at the pool with legs closer shaved than yours?
2. Where do you start - and how do you keep from slicing your legs up?
3. Any other good / bad points about shaving your legs I haven't thought of?

Thanks!!!!

Answers:
1. I'd look at his legs, then mine. Then sigh because I know how lazy and un-often I shave my legs. LoL! But, I wouldn't think anything bad at all other than I need to shave more often!
2. The girl who sounded "Sexy" explaining it, explained it well. Be careful around your ankles and behind your knee. Try NOT to flex and expose the tendons!!! That will lead to slicing up the skin along the tendon. Experience. You have to moisturize during and after. I use generic baby lotion after, great results.
3. Good - Even Tan, Fresh shaved legs make the covers feel SOOOO AMAZINGLY SOFT! LoL. Bad- It's a constant chore. This being said, if you do it everyday in the shower it becomes a habit and not so bad.

This all being said. Since you are a man, you really need to think about how far you are going to go. Men, from my experience, if they have some hairy legs they often have a furry butt too. You'd probably have to shave everything up to and around your goodies. I think it'd look fine naked if a guy shaved his legs, butt, and had a nice trim of his goodies. Could even leave the happy trail alone.

This is about extent of everywhere you'll have to shave. LoL, where the hair is on this guy is the daily chore you're looking into.

Now, a little TMI, but necessary when you are contemplating the "Still Sexy Naked" appeal. You are going to need to spread 'em & get that...?Grundel? area I think you guys call it & your inner thighs. I'm sure you can just trim this area. It's a chore. But if us ladies can do it, you can too. Hope this helps.

1. What would you think of a guy like me laying next to you at the pool with legs closer shaved than yours?

I don't know if I would notice, though I prefer more masculine qualities in my men and I'm not partial to them shaving anything ever except their faces.

2. Where do you start - and how do you keep from slicing your legs up?

At the ankle. Practice (and the right razor).


3. Any other good / bad points about shaving your legs I haven't thought of?

It's a bit of a PITA to keep up with and razor burn. Plus, the hair on legs grows in about 1,000 different directions, especially on the backs of the thighs, so getting them nice and smooth takes yoga-like flexibility.

1) I haven't seen it much so honeslty I might think it was odd at first but then remember I've got a couple friends who are triathletes/body builders and they shave pretty much everything

2) Start with your toes and move up. Don't try to rush or use an older razor or you WILL bleed. Slow and careful.

3) If your leg hair is a bit long, you may actually want to trim it down before trying to shave it off or the razor will get gunked up quickly and it'll take forever. Be extra careful around the bony parts like ankles and knees - I aways nick one or the other even when I'm careful. Sometimes lotion can burn after shaving so use either baby oil or body butter to moisturize. Oh and run your hand along where you've gone over with the razor just to make sure you haven't missed anything. This helps especially with the back of the leg where it's hard to see unless you're super bendy.

Good luck!

I would wax if I were you - its hurts more but if have to do it FAR less frequently. Plus you avoid cutting yourself.

However, if you choose to shave anyway then use a shave cream/gel and be careful around your knees as that is where most of the nicks happen.

Personally I shave all the way to about mid thigh - but to each her (or in your case, his) own!

LOL wow I never knew guys shaved their legs too!

1. WHOA just how did you learn to handle that razor, and tell me how you did it!
2. I honestly don't know, I always suck at this!
3. Accidentally slicing a bit of my pinky toe trying to get the hair there...

1. If you're a competitive cyclist and you shave your legs and I happen to know this I'd be ok with it as I have a friend who shaves because he's a tri athlete. If not I'd just think you were weird but wouldn't actually SAY it.
2. Start at the ankle. You need a really good razor to keep from getting barked up and sliced. In all honesty I would recommend the women's venus razor because the head pivots. Unless I am going super fast -- which I advise against -- I have never nicked myself. Make sure you later up well -- use shave gel -- so you don't get razor burn
3. Bad points: you are probably going to have to shave every day otherwise you'll get stubble and it's scratchy and gross.

Do what I did and go get laser hair removal on your legs. Then just use Veet to take care of what little hair comes back. Since finishing my laser treatments in October I have only had to Veet my legs once. There has been zero regrowth of dark hair, just fine, light hair that reduces the smoothness. But come on, you can't beat one Veet treatment per six months.

I haven't figured out how to effectively shave my legs because I'm always nicking my knees, but...

I'd probably be jealous of some guy who had smoother legs than me, although I'd admire them.

Hair conditioner or shave gel. I start at the ankles, go all the way up to my knee. Then, I go back around my ankles to make sure I hit all the nooks and crannies, then hit the top of my foot and toes. Yes, shave the feet AND toes or it stands out if you were furry beforehand. Then, I go around my knees again, to make sure I hit as much as possible. I usually go from the knee to about halfway up the thigh, all the way around. And finish up with the upper thigh. Then onwards to mah kitteh...

Lotion afterwards helps if you have sensitive skin so razor burn is minimalized.

Shaving legs is a PAIN!!! I wish I could stop without being disgusting. Don't even think about starting when you don't have to!

We could stop this madness and all just go hairy. Tell Gillette to go take a flying jump in the leg and embrace or mammalness. To OP it's cool if you shave but thats a little pretentious you get a closer shave. Mine feels like glass when I'm done. Oh and you will cut yourself and you will bleed lick a stuck pig for hours.
