5 O'clock shadow..

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.

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.

No such luck. I need to shave before riding, as a comfort thing. The hair is thick enough that it works its way into the fabric and gets tugged. (Yes, it grows that quickly.) Nightly shaving for me, I'm afraid.

Oh, you poor thing! I'm sorry.

I have real hairy legs, and I am dark-haired so the hair will show quite visibly. I get my legs waxed about every 5-6 weeks, so I don't have to shave them at all. I like to wear shorts and capris during the warm weather months when I am off the bike, and it is nice just being able to put on my clothing and not worry about my legs. It is also makes it easier to travel. I know some cyclists who got their hair removed permanently with the laser treatments.

Totally WONDERFUL! I sent the link to my husband, because he's just like that. I also sent it to my two daughters- they'll love it too.

Thank you, it made my day!

As far as leg hair and riding are involved, it's really only bad on the backs of my thighs, as it's harder (for me, at any rate) to do a good job shaving. It's really bad in winter and jeans.
I have dark hair, so it's visible. I can get away with skipping one day, but no more. Even in winter, I shave nightly, due to the problem with jeans.

Ditto. It keeps me up at night if I can feel it in the sheets (usually on the third day), too!

I love my Greek ancestry...except for the hair.

except on my chin and neck- man am I tired of shaving every other day! and now the moustache has started growing longer and coarser.

Sigh.......

[Crankin]

No rogue hairs on the chin or back... I am 15-18% body fat and eat a low GI diet, so I don't think that's the reason for my increase in facial hair. It's not coarse, but rather like newborn's hair. Not noticeable, except to me.
I remember my mom bleaching her upper lip area. I can't bring myself to do that, but since I'm blonde, it's not as bad. Hence, the thought of waxing.

I feel like a real hippie now. My legs and arms are au naturel. My boyfriend is actually the one who questioned why I shaved in the first place, but he's been a strident feminist longer than I have
