Ah, Thursday. Thursday, Thursday, Thursday. What to do? Work? Nah. Lounge on the sofa? Too easy. Free Tibet? Too hard. Aha! Shave my legs? Perfect. What better way to complete my ascendancy into total poserdom.
Phase One: Clear cutting the forest. Damn, these are some hairy ass sticks. I better thin 'em out a bit first. Trimmers? Check. Whiskey? Double check. Okay, here it goes. Buzzzzzz. First thought, 'Wow, are my legs really that pale?' I had a pretty sweet hair tan, do I really want to give that up? Well, I can't very well walk around with six inch hairless strip on my calf, can I? S**t. Now I'm committed. I better keep going.
Phase Two: The Shave Man, this really isn't as much fun as I thought it would be. How do women do this all the time? And why won't the hair behind my knees come off? Dilemma. Go all the way, or leave myself some hair-shorts? Fukc it. You've come this far. Skin the cat, baby. Thirty minutes later. Whew, I'm glad that's over. If this doesn't make me faster, I'm really gonna be pissed.
In conclusion, I must say that I have a new found respect for what you Ladies go through to look as good as you look. And now that I'm over the feeling of looking like one of those freakish hairless cats, I've actually come to like the feeling of these bald sticks beneath me. So, next Thursday, fukc it, I'm freein' Tibet. Who's in?

Free Tibet! I'll take it! (Runs to phone booth.) Hello, China? I think I have something you may want, but it's gonna cost you....that's right--all the tea.
:lol:
That reminds me... I need to shave my legs when i get home from work. I've got it down to 20 minutes and that's with taking my time.

You've come from a wayward hippy to a shaven cyclist!
Pretty soon you'll have to go one step farther...

Real men use Epilady. (Though I recommend avoiding the testicular/bikini area on your first go-round.)

I use a Gillette Mach 3, about every other day (yeah, in the shower) . . . works great, doesn't take too long (maybe 3 min. per leg)!

Weekly? At least twice/week. And I never said I enjoyed the process... just the result.

When your non-cycling male friends make fun of you, insist that they feel them. It'll freak all those homophobic candyasses out.

Shaving legs is a painless process, and I love how my legs feel afterward. Besides, the ladies love the post-shave pics. :) And occasionally, I can convince one of the single ladies to compare leg smoothness. :D

By the way, if you have trouble with shaving, you should get a good coach or study a good tutorial. The photo tutorial that one of the Foo ladies created for me was quite inspirational.

Hi,
Been doing this leg shaving since before most of you were born! ;) :D
Started when there were only single edge (double-sided) razors. Used Barbasol back then but just use soap now. If you can't shave your legs with a good old-fashioned razor without needing a blood transfusion afterwards, then you shouldn't be shaving them. :rolleyes:
BTW, my wife likes my legs smooth, but my buddy who used to race, his wife won't let him shave anymore. So Jason, you now have another personal grooming habit that may further limit the field of available women. :)

I don't shave. Just clip. About once per week.

Sounds to me that either way, there will be some women who like it and some women who don't.

Bar of soap, caress the body bar with bath oil and good razor blades.. If you buy the cheap disposable blades you can nick yourself up pretty good.. twice a week for me..
