Sometimes I find myself liking stuff that generally is kind of disliked, and about eight years ago I realized I love shaving my legs. :D
There's a very special feeling about this stuff.
To tell the truth, I never liked hair on my legs, and it felt so much better when I finally fully admitted that I like shaved legs better.
Some of you might laugh at this, but really, I love this stuff.
I know there are others out there, but IRL they're probably ashamed of it.
Im not one for shaving my legs....
I think my leg hair is so thick right now, I couldn't shave it if I tried.
Besides, it keeps my legs nice and toasty when it's chilly out. :)
I shave my legs when they become irritable. Normally 4-6 months between each shave, I don't have that black hair problem either. :D
I shave my legs every other day. I like the feeling of smooth legs. I even shave my arms, even though they aren't even hairy. I just like the feeling of ultra smooth arms for some reason. xD
I tried it last year, it felt good, but I'm not bothering anymore.
Exactly!Quote:

I know men aren't supposed to shave their legs, but who decided that, anyway? :rolleyes2
Body hair is gross. Remove it all I say.
Well, yeah, I always shave my legs. So do my friends. Except for one. She waxes her legs. And arms. She's planning on being Ms. America or something. Oh, and Smoothness = Awesomeness. ^_^
I've been experimenting with Veet hair removing cream. My hair is dark and coarse so I get gypped in that regard, but it's worth a try.
Shaving can be fun or it can be a chore.
no thx, I'd feel weird without the fine little hairs on my belly and back and shoulders, or eyebrows, or eyelashes, or head hair, or pubic hair. but legs can go for shya;oQuote:

Haha, so true. :DQuote:

Eyebrows, eyelashes, and the hair on your head, is not body hair.Quote:

I don't see how anything a part of the human body, something natural, could be gross but ;P
I don't know how I feel about guys who shave their legs. A lot of my friends play water polo and swim, so they have to do it every once in awhile, and it's still weird to me.
I used to be somewhat obsessive about shaving my legs, but since I don't wear too many shors or skirts or anything, I don't do it as often as I used to. Once every week or so is good for me now. Hey put some oil on them! :up:
Nah I don't shave my body hair. I'm a guy. Guess I fit into that stupid macho stereotype :p
I do know alot of guys who shave their legs though. Like some of my friends do triathlons. And my mum teaches dancing so some of the guys from there shave there legs.
One of my friends has a FOREST of leg hairs. I swear there are things living in there.
You ain't being sarcastic now, are you? :mad:Quote:

If it's very light so as you can barely see it, and you can't feel it, then that's ok. But if it's clearly visible, or you can feel it, then I think it would be better removed.Quote:

I shave my legs before I wear shorts/skirts/dresses which happens to be a lot in the summer time ^-^ Unless I wear a dress for lots of consecutive days, then I shave my legs like every 3-4 days. But like not at all in the winter.
I don't shave anything. I'm sorry Anaisa.
I don't shave my legs, although I do randomly like to grab a strand or a clump and snip it off with a pair of scissors now and again. I do the same with my arms, too, but it's not really noticeable or anything. Yeah, that's pretty weird I guess, it's just an odd habit of mine. Who knows, maybe it'll evolve into a weird fetish. I've always wanted one of those.
I got my legs and bikini line waxed once (and only once) because I'm an idiot.
And no, Peter_20. I am not insinuating that you're an idiot for shaving your legs, or something.
Are you insinuating that I'm an idiot for shaving my legs, or something? :mad:Quote:

I really have no idea what you're trying to say. Can you please explain to me exactly what you mean?Quote:

I'm trying to say that I feel like having a woman's body, since shaved legs is a female thing, and that part just feels kind of sexy. :DQuote:

I don't shave my legs, but that's only because shaving my legs is a complete pain in the ass and takes me forever to do. (Inexpert males ftl.) But I do prefer having no hair on my legs.
Wax!Quote:

.... I believe homeboy is saying that Dudes are hairy and machismo.

It's not really that complicated, he's just using flowery poetic speech by saying "enter" instead of "make my body more like that of."
Anywho, STICK WITH THE HAIR! I'm sorry to say, it is a matter of gender distinction in my opinion. Men should have hair, Women should not. I love my stubble. I love my arm hair, I love my leg hair. I even love my happy trail (for those who know not, it's that nice little path of thicker-ish hair that leads from the belly button down the center of your stomach to your....happy area)
But, war and death to Pubes, chest hair, back hair, and the most offensive of all.... ass hair. fortunately, i have no chest, back, or ass hair, and my pubes would be gone were it not for the pain of regrowing stubble.
Any hair type can develop ingrown hairs through waxing. But you won't get ingrown hairs as long as you exfoliate.Quote:

I'm going to send out my troops to collect them, bring them to my salon, and force them to be hot waxed.Quote:

How great are the risks of developing ingrown hairs through waxing, anyway?
I have really dark hair on my legs so I end up shaving them either every day or every other day, depending on how lazy I am.
If you do it quite alot, high, if your not moisturising or exfoliating. An ingrown hairs only need plucking out back to the surface, it's not like it's a really serious problem.Quote:

I just started shaving a couple weeks ago- I keep cutting myself T_T XD
Same for me the very first time: I hastily got rid of all the blood with a towel (it got bloody as hell - and it was white!), and I tried to hide my scars as best I could.Quote:

I shave my legs, they get really hairy sometimes and they're dark hairs so I have to shave like every other day. I dont shave anywhere else though.....my arms are hairy but my mum says not to shave them :(.......I don't actually cut myself very much I've only done it a few times and it hasn't been that bad.......
Hairy= Sexy. :jokey:
(SPOILER)But shaved is still sexier.
I don't go near my legs when it comes to shaving.
Legs and armpits is the order of the day for me...well, every other day. I have fairly dark fast growing hair, so I'm constantly shaving away.
I used to use veet cream/foam stuff, but I couldn't be bothered to wait around for 10 minutes for it to work.
I prefer guys to have some bodyhair, not a lot though.
best way not to cut yourself is to have a slightly used razor that is clean with nothing on it (swish away all th ehairs from before in some water)
always have a medium to shave in (shaving gel, good soaps)
go slowly and try not to go over one area more than once or twice. Always knock hairs off the razor before shaving a new strip.
but pretty much, go slowly and keep the blades clean are the best ways to avoid cutting yourself.
My name is Levian weapon. I'm pure hair.
Yes, all the time.
(SPOILER)My face that is :eek:
Same.Quote:

Id rather stick to having hairy arms kthx.
It's not fun to shave your whatnot.
I shaved my legs before and found it hard to sleep because it was just so sexy brushing one leg against the other smooth leg on accident.
Nobody should be shaving with a razor! Their rubbish! If you want to shave, get an electric shaver.
I see shaving legs as a woman-y type thing. Sexist? Maybe, I don't care, but that's how I see it. I see no reason to get in touch with my inner woman, because I don't have a freaking woman inside of me. I'll stick to being a guy, thanks. Hair on your legs is a sign of growing up. Wear your hair with pride, lads!
EDIT: Shaving for certain sports is perfectly acceptable, though.
I recently purchased the Philips Bodygroom, and am very very pleased with the results. I agree, yay electric shaver.Quote:

And then theres the other side,my girlfriend. she uses an electric, and... well... as much as I love her, the stubble that thing leave behind, no matter how long she uses it... Is riduclous. I do not like sleeping with porcupine legs moving about beside me....
Shaving your legs doesn't make you a "rebellious guy", it just makes you like all the other guys who do it.
Men should only shave their beards and trim some other areas. Hair is there for a reason.
Amen. There's nothing nicer than some nicely shaven - with a razor - legs on a girl. Smooooooooooooooth. :) Electric razors are getting better, but they're still not quite up there with the razor.Quote:

Actually, that's more common with shaving. And god is it annoying. :mad:Quote:
I mean, your leg hair starts growing UNDER your flesh or something like that?
I think its wierd for men to shave areas other than faces XD
Just face for me plz
shaving? No, I don't do that.
Yupyup. :D AND my hair grows back in really quickly. -_- It sucks to be me. :(Quote:

Are you sure you're not thinking of an electric razor? Your girlfreind should not have stubble on her legs after shaving. Either she's not shaving her legs often enough, her hair grows very quickly, the blades in her shaver need replacing, or her shaver is rubbish, an she needs a new one.Quote:

I don't....because I'm the exact opposite...I like being furry.
You know you want to be like the Yeti or abominable snowman.
A friend waxed my legs a few months ago... it makes your legs feel smooth.. it's kinda nice.. id never wax my legs though..it was too painful...:(
I shave with a razor, case the electric ones suck. Hang on, that's a lie, I shave when I'm reminded to, I always forget to shave my legs, and I get moaned at by my charming other half (and holy goddess does he moan!) I've tried wax, but my hair stayed where it was, and I got all sticky from the wax, yuck! I tried using cream and it burns! So when I remember to, or I am reminded to, I shave.
I'm asian and we're not supposed to have much body hair at all, but I'm a bit different and I have a fair bit of fuzz on my legs and arms.
I've never found the need to shave it though. Sure, all my friends are hairless but that just means I'm more rugged and masculine *muscle*
i jus let it go with the flow
I can't reach my legs to shave them anymore...:whimper:
I'm too scared to even shave my face let alone go anywhere else
don't shave!!! the hair will grow back thicker until you resemble a sasquatch. Then it is only a matter of time before people mistake you for bigfoot, put you into a zoo, and feed you bannnas all day long!
Is it weird that I try and convince various guys to shave their legs? I don't care if you're a man or a woman, smooth legs just feel good.
I had friends who were on Swim and Water Polo and they all shaved their legs. And it was smoooooth and touchable.
But yeah. I shave my legs 80% of the time I'm in the shower. Sometimes I don't cause I'm lazy.
I've tried things like Nair before but shaving it is quicker then applying the hair removal lotion stuff. If I could get my leg hair permanently removed, I would.
Can't you do that with lasers or something?
But I don't have lasers. And I don't think I can buy them at the supermarket. :(
Hahaha, yeah! :thumb:Quote:

Not true, actually, it just appears thicker. :D a suprisingly common misconception.
Yup.Quote:

It's just that initially when it's growing back it seems like it's growing back thicker.
Back to the main topic... Shaving a beard is fine. There are practical reasons to. But shaving legs... think on this for a second.
The media is constantly pushing people to buy more products. Hair care products and/ or electric shavers are some of them. Already those working in advertising have worn down the barriers so that women have to shave all the time. Beleive it or not kids, women didn't always shave their legs, armpits and/or other places, and people didn't care at the time.
Now, if advertisers can pressure men into feeling self-concious about hair on their body (other than on the face... there are already practical reasons to shave there) they can make even more money. And us men are falling right into that trap. Isn't it all sort of ridiculous?
I shave my face. I, like everyone, conform to some basic social pressures around appearance. But my legs? No. I'm not going to conform to our increasingly commercialized lifestyle any more than that.
I think it comes back after a while. A long while that is. The hairs you remove won't come back, but there will be new ones elsewhere.Quote:

Screw the media, I say; just do what feels right for you.
Lasers work in some instances an not in others. There are some people who have the hair removed permanently. It all goes, an never comes back. There are people who have it done and can only lose some hair, not all of it. An there are those who have it done an notice no change whatsoever. Most lasers work best on people with pale skin and dark hair. Lasers do not make hair grow back in other places. Electrolysis also can remove hair permanently. But again, for some people it works really well, an for others, not so well.Quote:

I hate shaving my legs! It leaves fugly marks all over my legs. Although afterwards I do get a heavenly silky sensation.
I'm single and its cold weather so the fuzz lives on upon my legs
Hairy legs act as insulation!
I like the feeling of them being smooth and all...but its so much hassle! booo to hassle
I got ugly folliculitis on my thighs after shaving about two weeks ago, and they itched like hell for days. :(Quote:
