Hi... former shaver, waxer and depilatory cream user here...
Having been reading extensively around cycling... I have found several references to shaving - both legs and genital area...
The books/articles seem to reach a consensus... by all means shave your legs - as far as the bike shorts line... Leave anything above there, particulary the genitals alone...
Removal of hair leads to ingrown hairs... which lead to infections...
I trim only now...

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Makes sense, Road Raven. I'd be a little afraid that by uncovering the Most Importants it'd become less sensitive due to friction.
How about chamois butt'r or like?
The thing I'd like to know:
When you trim the shorties are you able to keep them from becomming little partner-poking party-poopers??? My DH sees a trim and goes
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

DH??
Um... if you're referring to my partner... well, he's seen me in all states of dress/undress as far as "grooming" goes... nothing phases him
I have yet to try chamois butters... I use a barrier cream on ME not chamois, before a ride that will take minimum of an hour...Last edited by RoadRaven; 04-26-2005 at 03:56 PM.

The
is 'cause my hubby knows how sharp a new trim is....he (says) he doesn't care if it's long, short, or spaghetti 
(sorry-Hair, the musical, reference).

so... STM.... what does "DH" mean?
I've heard of "SO" (significant other) but not "DH"
LOL at the reference to HAIR... watched that again a coupl of weeks ago!!!

I know! I know!
DH is Dear Husband...
spazz - more in the SO dept than the DH dept (though I've been known to borrow a DH on occasion for heavy lifting and to open those derned jars
)
no regrets!

Yeah, it was gettin' too hard to find DH's to borrow so I had to go and finally marry one.
He knows he's the heavy liftin' jar openin' bike fixin' man about the house!
So does ANYONE know how to keep freshly trimmed hairs more friendly-like?? I've looked everywhere for an answer to this but so far to no avail...I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
