I only shave below the knee anyway because my hair is so light. If I shave once a month in the winter I'm doing good. In the summer it's weekly unless I mtb - I always shave before mtb because I always fall.![]()

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.

I shave my legs at least once a week during the winter. If my legs get too hairy they get all itchy and drive me nuts.
My pits, I had lasered. No more hair. Ever! Best thing I ever did. Now they're smooth and nice year round.bikerHen
I shave my legs all year, even if no one sees it. My legs are VERY hairy and when it's long, it drives me nuts. I can't stand how it feels in the sheets of my bed or against my pants legs after about 3 or 4 days.
Oddest sensation ever? Standing on a mountain top, in shorts, and feeling the wind rustling the hair on my legs.(I was in the mountains for a month with no razor) To this day, I can imagine how it felt and it freaks me out a little each time.

I went to college at a very hairy time and place. I took to it naturally.
Now I live in a conservative state and shave or wax enough to be (mostly) socially acceptable. (I'm 'other' enough where I live and work that I don't need to call attention to it.)
Every now and then it works out that we're on a tandem ride and DH's legs are shaven smooth and mine are hairy as can be.

I also had to vote never. At least for leg shaving. Blessed with a few scattered hairs on my legs that you can't see, courtesy of my father with the hairless legs.
I think I shaved once, in Grade 8.

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.
LOL! Me too.I still remember sitting out on the porch with one of my friends in law school, showing her my legs, freshly shaved for the first time in 10 years.
Now, I can't go more than 4-5 days tops without shaving. I was proud of my leg hair when I had it, but stubble is just irritating.

I admit rarely that I do kind of like the "blowin' in the wind" feeling. Hair is afterall, a sensory organ.
