Wow!
I *never* shaved my legs (which were very hairy). Just thought "Oh.So that"s my body" and carried on regardless. Later I added a feminist ideological tirade to it but always felt superior to my ideological sisters who had up till recently been shavers.
Then in 2003 when Le Tour was riding into Paris I thought "I know how I can celebrate My Life and surviving to see another Tour (ride into Paris)...I'll shave my legs!"
Asked DD (then 14) how and she gave me some Blueberry flavoured foam (I had bought a nice coloured razor on the way home).
Then I watched Eurosport with tears streaming down my face as usual.
Elder DS (then 16) said " About time!", younger DS (then 11) said "What on earth happened to your legs?" and the DSO didn't notice till DD pointedly said "Didn't you notice Mummy's nice legs?"
Now I am hooked on it. Tho' I am not prepared to do it with anything other than a razor. Do it every other day (heard that on a Tour commentary in the same Tour - some viewer asked and David Duffield explained in his inimitable fashion that they "did it every other day")
Under arms I don't do either. Did as a teen then stopped as a Real Feminist . Re-started when I had breast cancer - Thought I was strange enough person and wanted the Dr's to feel more at ease with me. But got a lot of rashes (i guess micro abrasions on an immuno-supressed system) so stopped . Thinking about starting (trying) again this summer
Well, that's all folks
Great fun thread
