Do you shave your legs? If so, why?

[Rapples]

Right right,of course "epilation"="Hair removal" whats the diiference,apart from the "epilate" sounding more mystical from Hair removal

Sorry You are quite correct in questioning my sloppy ambiguous grammar

I meant "use an epilator"

Mainly I shave mine because women who don't get stared at and are subject to all kinds of comments, to your face and behind your back, which I just don't have the headspace to deal with. Though I confess I do like the smooth, silky feeling you get when you get into bed with freshly shaved (shaven?) legs - especially if the sheets are clean. *shivers*

The problem is a few days later.

The wife slides into bed and its like an angle grinder going down my leg.

Coz I'm a girl....

Personally I'm not rabid about it, doing it everyday or anything, but I do like the feel of freshly smooth legs.

I have done some bikini waxing (No,not on me). I don't know which of us it hurt more though!

My husband's bike buddies tried getting him to shave his legs - he wound me up by telling me he had when they all pottered off to Mont Ventoux...the horror... Not so much for me not wanting a husband who shaves his legs like a girl(!), but because his legs as so frickin good that even with hair they put mine to shame!

Actually, I had my legs (and beard. Yes, seriously) waxed for charity once. It didn't really hurt for some reason, unlike the others who were writhing about in agony at having just a tiny bit taken off their leg

Judging by your avatar, you must have looked a right plonker with naked legs and lower face, what with the rest of you covered in ginger fur - ?!

Yes, but I kneecapped anyone who was daft enough to laugh!

Yes,but whose asking you to watch

Epilation is pulling the hairs out (like waxing), shaving is just cutting them off flush. Hair takes a little longer to reappear after being pulled out.

I've never waxed, but it's not the HOT wax I'm bothered about, it's the pulling hairs out.

Now you've just made it more painful to just imagine it

The rest of the forum, I've got the video camera all set up in a hidden...... COUGH COUGH I mean no body will be watching, NOBODY WILL BE WATCHING!

Phew, I think I got away with that one!

Awww didums! Have someone take a bit of your bone marrow out of the base of yer spine without any anaesthetic and not many things will seem sore after that!
*Evil laugh*.

Cyclings encouraged me to not bother shaving my face anymore, but trim my beard. Its nice and cosy for winter cycling.

I strim rather than shave, I use my hair clippers without the guard, it gets nice 'n close, but without any cuts or that weird raw feeling when I pull my jeans on!
I do it because waspies and other stingers/biters bounce off my smooth legs rather than get caught in a hairy trap - so to speak.
err, also, I like to see my muscle definition
