Why does my husband shave his legs?

DH found a bonus to the shaved legs. His dress socks no longer slide down.

I thought it would be opposite. Hairy legs would offer friction, wouldn't it?

There are men who cycle tons but have never shaved their legs.

Actually I'm glad he doesn't shave his legs for cycling. His wiry legs with veins need some hairy veil.

I only manage to get scraped up OFF the bike. Like gashing my leg open walking to the port-a-potty, or tripping when I go take a photo of some pretty scenery.
