Ok, girls, ... fess up...
Scheduled a ride today with a friend but forgot to shave ...
"Oh crap....<pause.. .> Oh who the hell cares. I'm going cycling.. whatever."
Beautiful day... good ride... except for the extra resistance caused by the 5 O'clock shadow. I'm sure that impacted my performance. :D
I shave my moustache every morning.
Definitely gives me the aerodynamic advantage.
Ha! I did this Tuesday night, I wanted to mountain bike but wasn't planning on it so I was definitely not clean shaven. The trail was packed with the normal Tuesday night crowd but I was riding alone. Heck even if I had been meeting someone I would have gone.
I always figure my legs are moving so fast that nobody will notice, and am not always so conscientious about the current state of my flora and fauna.;) Sometimes however, my DH will call attention to the fact that I need to defoliate by stroking my pelt in an irritating way...:rolleyes:
Who has time to shave??? I usually realize I didn't take time to do the landscaping when the sun hits my leg at a certain angle on a ride or right after I climb on the massage table:eek: I always feel bad about that and apologize.
I have no flora on my legs - haven't had to shave them since I was a teenager and thought that I had to even if there wasn't anything TO shave.
Not that I am bragging or anything :)
Catrin- we share the genetic lottery for hairless legs- mine is coutesy of my dad. Thanks Dad!
If it makes you feel better, roguedog, it took 5 weeks after my back surgery before I decided to figure out how to shave my calves...I haven't shaved above my knees YET. It's blond, I'm not out clubbing in miniskirts, who cares? :)
Then again, I've been known to use leg hair as blackmail. As in, "I'll shave my legs when you shave your face." Usually pretty effective.
i don't shave my legs ever
i just let them be hairy
i pretend i am starting a new fad :cool:
I get something ...after 6 months or longer. (I'm sorry I don't pay attention to weed maintenance. :) because the weeds are so occasional.) And only below knee area. Not even a shadow.
Genetic courtesy of my mother who never seemed to grow any leg hair from what I can remember.
My husband shaves his legs more often than I do. But I don't have much hair - just a little strip on the front/inside of my lower leg, so I will give that bit an occasional swipe with the razor. With DH, it's spa time once a week and we practically run out of hot water. :rolleyes:
During race season DH will shave at least once a week, it is an obnoxiously long amount of time. Then again if I was 6'2" and hadn't been doing this since I was 13 it would probably take me longer.
I haven't shaved anything for 11 years, ever since my DH told me all my 'fur' was much lovelier than icky stubble. What a wonderful man! Now that I'm 56 there's less everywhere anyway. :D
Hair does not grow..
Where blood does not flow.
Be thankful for your circulation, especially if you're over 50!
when i was in high school one day i noticed that this older girl that i had a bit of a crush on did not shave her legs or pits or anything. and i thought to myself if a women can be so attractive so smart so great with hairy legs then why should i shave mine? or anything else for that matter. so i stopped. my husband has always said he doesn't understand why women shave he makes a big deal out of shaving his face though. i think he looks better with some facial hair but whatever makes him happy is fine with me.
