Shaving your legs

So I was wondering this in the shower this morning..

If you are someone who shaves their legs, where do you shave them? See poll.

I am lazy so basically I just do up to knees every week, and then only bother to shave whole legs when I have time/can be bothered.

But no-one ever sees my legs (except OH) so it doesn't matter.

Up to knees....theres like no visible hair further up and you cant feel hair either so I dont really want to start shaving the whole legs and then the hair get all coarse and then I have to do it!




There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

I usually shave up to my knees, I don't really have any hair further up so I don't bother shaving any more than that.

I'm totally manly, but I used to shave mine. It was for maybe 2.5 years that I really kept up with it, then I just said 'fck it; this is too much work.' I liked the feel, but damn. Too much time spent in the shower. I'd always do full legs because if I wore shorts you'd see above my knees and it would look silly. Even more silly than a man with shaved legs! :P

Just to the knees, my hair is pretty fair and isn't too visable past that point. :)

I haven't shaved my legs since October, and even then it felt like a waste of effort. I generally do up to the knee in the summer.

Depending on how woeful I am I can leave them for up to three months. But usually I only shave them when the hair bugs me or if I am going to wear a dress with leggings/tights.

I don't really shave them in summer either as I live in jeans

I have really fair hair so don't have to worry to much above the knee. But I usually do up to my knee but of I have time/can be bothered/if I'm wearing shorts ill do the full leg. More often that not its just up to the knee.

On the rare occasions I've shaved my legs I've shaved my whole legs.

All of my legs, I rarely shave so when I actually do the hair on my thighs is usually long enough to get rid of.



How many ticks left in that clockwork heart?

I only shave my legs when necessary- so in the summer when wearing a dress or cut off jeans.

I rarely shave in the winter, but sometimes I will if I want to impress my boyfriend :p

I usually only shave up to the knee but on occasion do my whole leg.



Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

I only shave about once every 3/4 months (when it becomes noticeable from a distance) but I'm lucky in that the hair on my leg grows really sparsly and mostly just on my shin so I never really shave the backs or above knees. In fact I have no hair on my thighs at all. If I never wore skirts or dresses then I don't think I'd ever shave. Haha.
