    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.

    This sexy sig is by Owen Mcwere. Thank you Owie!

    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*

    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.

    But I don't have lasers. And I don't think I can buy them at the supermarket.

    Just get a reservation somewhere, and have the skilled folks do it for you.

    Not true, actually, it just appears thicker. a suprisingly common misconception.

    Yup.

    When you first shave, the razer shaves off the hair bluntly so that when it grows back it appears thicker/darker/whatever. But if you let the stubble actually grow out, you'll see that it's the same as when you shaved it in the first place. 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.
