    I only shave the bottom of my legs, I never even knew people shaved the top half of their legs until my friend did it?..Then I tried it once but stopped because I didn't see the point, the hair on that part of my leg is so thin and small and barely noticeable! If only it was the same for the bottom!

    I think one of my parents is a werewolf. I'm SO hairy. I try to shave it all but I miss spots and it looks so bad. Therefore I wears jeans ALL THE TIME!
    o.O

    although i shave with a broken beer bottle ...


    i shave from ankles to knees. i'm very blonde and norwegian so i honestly don't have much of anything from knees up.

    I require physical proof of this...

    I shave the bottom half almost daily. My legs are like sandpaper if I don't :-/
    I do the rest about once a week. The hair on my thighs aren't as noticeable as the lower half.

    Waiting for appropriately timed Groupon so I can laser the hell out of it all and rarely have to deal with it ever again T_-

    From toes to top of thighs.

    You shave your feet?

    I shave only the lower the half.. and only like once a week or so.

    Since I'm seeing no one, besides a male personal trainer, I really don't give a flying F what they look like!

    My whole stupid leg gets hairy, and I'm so pale that it really shows so I shave from bottom to top, both halves, back and front.....and sometimes the top of my left foot because little hairs grow in the middle of my tattoo....oddly.

    I usually go a few inches above my knee, for good measure :P

    Usually only up to my knees. My thigh hair is very blonde and very soft so I don't worry about it unless I plan on wearing shorts out in the sun. If I don't shave, those little blonde hairs sparkle! hehe

    I rarely shave my legs (maybe 4 times a year) but when I do it's the whole leg

    It depends on the season. I shave my legs in the summer and in the winter hardly ever at all...LOL!!!

    Hahaha. Love this topic!

    In general, I always shave right above the knee. Not a lot of hair anyway, but depending on what I'm wearing I'll shave all the way up. lol

    The knee and below only; I don't have hair on the upper part of my legs. I'm sure there's some hair, but I tried really hard to see it and/or feel it and I can't.

    Well since I only have a total of maybe 3 hairs on each leg, I pluck them with tweezers. Never have shaved my legs and I'm 57 years old.

    bleh. i hated shaving so much, so i signed up for laser hair removal. there is still some hair, but its so much lighter/finer. i still have one more session, so hopefully it will all disappear :)

    Honestly, I hate shaving so much that I only shave from the knee down most of the time (capris), but if I am wearing anything above the knee I have to shave it all (for dresses/skirts/swimsuits--which is rare). I've been with my boyfriend so long that I could be as hairy as bigfoot, so that's a non-issue.

    But a ALWAYS miss a spot and go out with a patch of hair that is blaringly obvious to everyone but me!

    I also have blonde hair and I only shave the tops maybe once a month in the summer or if I know I will be in a swimsuit. During the winter once every couple of months.

    I generally shave just a little above the knee, but I'll do the whole thing if I'm expecting something to happen.
