I just wax. Sort of year round. But my hair and weak is so thin now that it's actually hard to pull it off except with hot wax, which is rarely available. So it's sort-of-waxed most of the time.
Yes
No
I NEVER shave my legs, summer or winter!

I keep shaving regularly throughout the winter...it helps me not feel so dumpy during the cold weather...and i do realize it's a totally psychological thing, but it works![]()
Pretty regular shaver here, for massage etc it's much nicer. I can tolerate hairy legs, but I draw the line at hairy pits.
I don't shave during the winter hardly at all. I should, but it's not essential to my life. I have very dry skin and it seems to get worse the older I get.
When I worked and wore pantyhose, I shaved every day in the shower, like clockwork. It took less than 5 minutes.

I shave every day, all year. I hate fuzzy legs. Drives me crazy.
I work in an office, wear dresses, suits and I live in sunny socal. So I shave all the time.
I had to vote no, although if I had any hair on my legs I would shave every day. When I was in Jr. High, I wondered what all the girls were talking about when they shaved their legs and I would say "Why?". They looked at me like I was an idiot, but honestly, I have just a few blond hairs on my leg and twice a year gets them. I can count them on one hand. Hair under arms, though, and that gets shaved at EVERY shower. Turns out it's a family trait, but my mother told me I wouldn't have any hair on my head when I was 40 either. Yeah, she said a lot of nice things to me. She was wrong. My legs are smooth and hairless 24/7, but when the body traits were being passed out, I should have run faster to the "thin and willowy" line.

No shaving for me in the winter. I only bother when I have to show my legs in the spring and summer.
I do have a hard time getting past the prickly, stubby feeling until it finally gets long enough to lay down, ugg!

Stubble is nasty. I found when I stopped shaving altogether the hairs grow back with wispy soft ends so that they are not nasty and stiff like shaved stubble. Unshaved body hair feels softer!![]()

I am blessed with fine blond hair so I get away with shaving a few times a week from the top of the knee down. I shave year round too.
Nope.
I can do five more miles.
hubby can't find any hair on my legs so i don't shave them.

If I weren't on the bike and at the gym, I would stop shaving my armpits. No, it doesn't smell worse, and long smooth armpit hair feels so much better (glidey and comfy) than naked sweaty pit skin sticking to pit skin. DH never minded hairy armpits, but I prefer to fit in I guess. Legs, about once a week. Menopause does lessen the hairy-ness! DH started shaving his legs last fall when I pointed out that his heavy coating of sunscreen on his hairy legs looked kind of gross (well, it did to me). and I think he likes it better too. Tokie
First of all, you ladies who wax are WAY tougher than I am. I'm a pain weenie, I guess, because even the thought of waxing makes me shudder.
Second of all, wow, I'm impressed with all you daily shavers! Here I thought it'd all be "Nah, I don't bother most of the winter," and actually most of you not only bother but bother quite often! Go figure...![]()
