To Shave or not to Shave, That is the question

[djb1971]

Stopping a little low there. Problem number 2 is that you're not doing it regally enough. Once every 2-3 days only takes 5 min & keeps everything more-or-less hairless.

But if I go to my waist it leaves a hairy belly button and chest.
I could go up to my chin, that just leaves my head which is naturally pretty smooth!

I'll stick to growing hairy legs

You could wax or epilate, both painful (unless sadistic like me), shaving is painful on regrowth especially in sensitive areas, where as the other methods are not quite so, and usually enable you to ride, hair in other areas can also make longer distances uncomfortable, but not everyone.
Your legs are fine, as are everyone else's.

And? Hair above the waist line doesn't cause potential chafing issues... anything bellow the waist & above the shorts line does. I also shave my arms up to the ball of my shoulder, had too many contaminated & thus mildly infected shoulder/upper arm grazes.

I'm keeping my hairy legs!

This stuff seems to come highly recommended in the reviews and might be a bit easier than shaving.

Arms legs chest ect dont tend to suffer from rash, to shave its best to use a good quality blade and shaving cream/foam/gel and shave with the growth, you get rash when shaving against the growth. Which is why inexperienced people do it have problems.

Can you just elaborate on the phrase "I don't have the legs for shorts"?

I was on a beach in Mallorca on Thursday and saw a woman who'd had skin harvested from her front, rear and side of her thighs for skin grafts. She didn't have the legs for a bathing cozzy, but it didn't stop her! I thought she was great.

Totally agree, I will be doing the WNBR in York on Friday and there will be people of all sizes.
The important thing is people ride for fitness whatever that level is, as much as Halfords is called for whatever the reasons I do like the new ad that shows larger people riding, I think thats a positive view.

Cycling gear is not the most fetching. I am sure people have worst things sticking out than hair

I vote no
