    I shave everything cause hairy arms and shaved legs looks funny. From my experience most girls (not all ) but most just love it. which Is why I still shave long after I quit racing bicycles. You are less likely to get a bad case of poison oak when you shave too. Which is why I originally started shaving my arms.

    All is haved but my hair on my head and my armpits

    haha... the great shaved vs. non-shaved debate... i still can't bring myself to do it. i figure if i can ever get the lungs (and legs) to climb up more of those hills i usually walk up and look like a stud-muffin whenever i look in the mirror it'll be time. might be some time before i get stud-muffin status though :?:

    I wish that was the case with me, if only my leg hair was like my arm hair I would not have to worry about shaving. :)

    haha... being asian doesn't necessarily mean you have little hair to begin with. my legs are hairier than most, which i don't get because i have more leg hair than everyone else i my family.... hmm.... maybe, i'm not my parent's kid :lol: ah... that' can't be true. who else could have me as a kid???

    Ok, so...what METHODS do you guys use?

    Trim really short with clippers?

    Razor?

    Nair?

    I'm gonna do this for Traverse. :)

    no Nair!

    Nair is nasty stuff. It's like Jasco paint stripper. If you're a sasquatch buzz it down with a hair buzzer and then go to town with a bunch of razors. Gillette Fusion works great (I got a couple free in the mail & now I'm hooked on them). If you've never shaved your legs before do it sooner, like today, rather than the day before an event as they might get a bit razor burned.

    Send pictures of the carnage.

    Don't shave today you'll be hairy again by Saturday.

    Shave Friday. Just use some lotion after. I can't imagine you'll have razor burn. Maybe a few nicks and cuts.

    If you have a beard trimmer you may want to use that. It'll make the razor part a little easier. Then shave away.

    Just an update:

    Shaved my legs yesterday for the first time in 5 days.

    Also shaved my face (different razor) for the first time in about 3 months. (who needs it?)

    Anyone want to wax my back?:-k

    Doug, you may need some counseling.

    I appears you have a general phobia about your masculinity.:-s
