have to make your own decision on this one.. you will get all kinds of negative comments about it from those that never have... on why it is useless, nothing but vanity, or an indication of testosterone deficciency.. but if you are really thinking about it and hesitant, then just do it and see how you like it.. I haven't in probably 10 years, but I don't race anymore.. or ride as many road miles as i did back then.. but I don't look down on anybody for shaving or not shaving the way a lot of people in these forums do.. I must say I see more negative press from those that don't and have never about those that do, then the other way around.. the only opinion that really matters is your own on this issue..
