You Have to Try Everything Once... Don't You?

[Octet]

It's winter time (just pointing it out in case you hadn't noticed the thermometer), and as such the perfect time to do something which, if goes horribly wrong, will remain covered until the sun makes it's appearance for the few weeks of summer next year.

Hairy Lycra is not a good look, and as such I am considering following the 'you have to try everything once' paradigm. I am of course talking about shaving my legs, partly out of curiosity over what all the fuss is about but also because constantly re-adjusting my tights/shorts to prevent embarrassment is an embarrassment in itself.

Assuming I do proceed and don't chicken out, any advice?

Researching it online (praise be to 'In Private' browsing mode) it looks like taking an electric to the thick hair and then running a manual over it afterwards is the best option.
I've seen a lot of people suggest using the Mach3 but I honestly have no clue.

Thank you!

Just use the electric as using the razor makes the hair more prickly when it grows back , I do my inner thighs with beard trimmer where they rub a bit on the saddle when pedalling , one time I used a razor and it made the hair more prickly when it grew back

Keep em on till summer. Extra layer of warmth I recon. Whip em off when its shorts season again

Blow torch, my thinking behind this, well at some point during grow back it will be uncomfortable so get used to a lot of discomfort now.

Pointless unless you are racing. Doubly pointless in the winter, when your legs are covered anyway.

Oh my god. Thank you for that. That has got to be the most funny thing I have read in a long time. I was crying. The tears were and are still rolling down my face. Again, many thanks nappadang.

I know why I shave mine - and I don't bother in winter...

In that case you know why it is a reasonable idea to stay clean shaven if you are on the hairy side.
