    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 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.

    I shave my legs once a week, year 'round. I don't have a lot of hair on my arms or legs anyway, so I don't need to shave more often than that. But I do wear shorts to work every day, so I gotta keep at it all year long.

    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!
