The shaven legs poll

[arranandy]

Do my legs about once a week. 'Her indoors' likes when they are just done and very smooth however she doesn't like when they go stubbley

Permanently smooth. The little blighters have been cropped so often, they have given up the ghost.

Hairy. I'm getting more into cycle sport now so it's only a matter of time before I conform and shave 'em. I still see myself as a bit of an outsider since I came to road cycling late, I think it'll happen if and when I start racing (other than TTs).

Babies arses are hairier than my legs. I fit firmly in the smooth, tanned and muscular category.

Ive done mine for longer than I can remember.

THOUGH, i am giving them a week of not shaving as i do mine once a week usually - so in effect am missing a week to let them grow a bit as I feel this is better for the general aspect of letting the area go without shaving, a slight respite.

Nice and smooth. They're quicker to dry after a shower, easier to massage, and tan better.

Who really wants to look like a gorilla in lycra.

I usually shave once a week but this year I've not kept it up so am currently 'fuzzy'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shaved for the last 3 years, but this summer I have not. Probably, because I am now commuting with the bike on the train and feel a little bit more self conscious if in addition to lycra, the other commuters were also looking at shaved legs. I have noticed that the spare seat next to me is usually the last one to be filled - I am not that ugly!

It's OK if you have fair hair but if you have dark hair shaving is best as I don't think it looks good in lycra... I know some people who have FANTASTIC legs (the husband is included in that category!)...

If I shaved my legs I could lag the loft.
