I'm pretty sure Dee Zee does. Just kidding.

This topic has made for some fun discussion in the past: Shaving your legs?

I've been on and off with it. I like it when they're smooth but get lazy. But I'll be going bare again soon since I'm training for the San Marcos Crit.

Too furry to shave, have not yet tried nair. When it gets hot sometimes I use clippers to mow the yard, did it last time to keep oak from spreading.

AHHHHHHH, Stay away from Nair, that stuff eats your skin up, I tried it, only had it on for about 2 minutes.....Worst razor burn I have ever had, horrible rash all teh way up and down the legs. What does work well though, Veet, But that little plastic thing they give you for removal sucks, just grab a rag and wash is off.

I shaved my legs once and that was back in high school when I was playing water polo. Only once, never had need to do it again.

Don't forget your Chewbaca arms, back and ass. You're the mini-me version of Sasquatch with a few twists thrown in.

Twists not withstanding, today as I was applying sunscreen to my hairy arms and struggling to rub it in, I thought how nice it would be to have those smooth too.
