My brother acquired a serious burn from his motorcycle exhaust pipe and was horrified when I suggested shaving his leg around the burn. He became a convert very quickly since we needed to change the bandage and dress the wound twice a day. In fact, he asked me to expand the shaved area further than his original boundaries due to the relief from not having his leg hairs pulled out by the roots. Now, he understands why shaved legs are preferable when injuries and bandages are involved.
