can i ask a personal question??

[hobbitonabike]

I'm new to this cycling palaver and I recently went to see a well known comedian who did a bit of his set on a recent cycling adventure (any guesses who??) and was talking about waxing and it got me thinking...(in a not perverse way) about how many cyclists are waxed to whatever degree!! If it's not too personal question...anyone care to share?? And by share I mean tell us about it...dear god no photos hahaha!!!

Never have and never will. Need to take scissors to the longer examples of body hair or it rubs when riding but that's all.

 

[Mugshot]

Nope, not me, and have no intention of starting to either. As a lycra wearing roadie I'm not quick enough to risk pushing myself further up the scalping food chain

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

nope, but have to confess to having removed anything that rubs a sore point from time to time. and did start shaving my left leg after the dog attack, pulling all those hairs out repeatedly twice a day for 14 weeks was getting too sore...

I use my beard trimmer on my leg hair... it's very blond, very coarse and left untended, my legs simply look out of focus. so every 3 or 4 months it gets trimmed to about a millimetre... all the way up. Nothing to do with cycling, just personal aesthetics. Chest gets the same treatment as one side seems to grow twice as much as the other side... which just looks odd.

No shaving here apart from my face in the mornings. Not even when there's a full moon !

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

During the race season im waxed, during the winter im keeping warm

 

[Trail Child]

Shaver here ... but I'm a girl.

 

[numbnuts]

I'm weird I shave from the neck down, many years ago I shaved my legs and I liked it also found you use less suntan cream or Deep Heat when I have muscle pain and it started from there.

 

[Fnaar]

I shave my palms from time to time.

 

[jonny jeez]

nope...

I am not yet a proper cyclist.

I shave my palms from time to time.

........................ that must take a while

 

[hobbitonabike]

Wow...many confessions!! And not some I expected lol. Hubby hasn't waxed/shaved anything yet since starting cycling but thinking I might encourage him for my own entertainment lol!!

 

[Lee_M]

Im a real man, I dont shave (other than my face) or wax

that's what girls and boys of a different persuasion do

 

[billy1561]

I keep well maintained especially lower to avoid pulling which ain't pleasant!
