Maybe fishnets and stiletto heels would work better. I'm pretty sure you could get them with cleats.

I saw someone cycling the other day with stiletto heeled boots on the other day. Not sure about the fishnets, though I'm guessing they shaved their legs as well.

go to the health food store and get some "kiss my face shave lotion" its the best for shaving your legs. it lasts way longer than anything else and doesn't have all the ****ty stuff that regular shave gel has in it. it is also very gentle.

Be ready to shave everyday if you like that up close personal time with your sweetie. On the other hand it will distract form you forgetting to shave your face.
I bought a cheap electric and hit the shins with it everyday and only razor shaved once a week, worked pretty good.
And, be prepared to freeze your legs, it is hard to believe how much difference a little bit of hair makes warmthwise.

hehehe...my girlfriend is a little freaked out by it. she says they don't feel like my legs anymore...oh well, she'll get used to it.
i think i'll probably do them every other day...or whenever i shower, whichever... and warmth isn't really a huge issue as i live in CA now. it gets chilly, but i've got long socks that i can wear, or worse comes to worse, i get a little cold. my girlfriend can also knit me a nice pair of legwarmers! WOOHOO!!!!!
i think we'll be 'testing' out the de-furred legs soon enough...i hope so anyway. ;)

Some women love guys with shaved legs and some hate it. You should try the "shave each other" thing.....it can get interesting.
Must be nice to be in a warm place. My legs won't see sun until April and I usually don't shave until May.
I use electric about twice a week. It is kind of like a pre-race ritual for me.
I just shaved my back.
I used to shave - then I was expected to walk the talk (or the impression). Now I just show up to races all furry, baggy shorts and a tee-shirt - somtimes with a full beard. Last year I out sprinted a guy in a full skin suit - being all aero did'nt help him - plus my wife can take it or leave it - so it's not worth the trouble for me any more. However, it does look pretty cool - but only to other cyclists - or guys wearing those stelleto heels.

Most love it! I go out to bars and I have had quite a few to rub my legs and tell me how sexy they look!
There have been a few to tell me that it is such a turn off to see men that shave other parts of their body, other than their face; it's very few though!

i shaved twice more after that...and while i think i prefer the shorn look and feel, it's just too much bother...and i don't like razr burn.

Try an old double edge, it really does reduce razor burn. Maintaining with and electric and only using the razor once a week or so works pretty good, if you want to try and keep it up. That being said, this may be the first year I go unshorn in four years, maybe.

Use the Gillette Venus razor. It is the best the I have ever shaved with!!!

i used a gillette sensor...two blades. my calves came out of it alright, but my thighs look like hell...STILL. the only thing i have for an electric is my haircutting clippers...which, work alright, but not really well enough.
oh well.

Try a three blade Gilette. I thought they were just a gimmick until I tried one, they really are nicer to shave with.

I shave my legs with the Gillette for Women Venus razor, Gillette for Women Satin Care Citrus Infusion shave gel, and Skintimate Moisturizing Glistening Pear with Aloe and Vitamin E aftershave gel. I'm also dating half of College of Marin. Girlies dig the smoothness. :love:

Does your girlfriend know another girl was feeling your legs?
'Cause that can cause some issues.

Considering that they were both imaginary, I doubt there will be much of a problem. :eek:

I just shaved my legs for the upcoming season. Out of curiosity. High high do most of you guys shave? I stop about 4" above the knee, and I look like I'm wearing shorts when I get out of the shower. Is there a general rule or guideline?

I do the same, but lightly trim my thighs once a week with the sideburn part of my electric razor. It's never perfectly smooth, but I don't get razor bumps up there (wouldn't that suck), and I don't look like I'm wearing sheepswool shorts either.

:( that hurts...they're both most definitely real. and my girlfriend knows how proud i was of my legs while they were shaven, and my propensity for showing them off, so i doubt there'd be any friction there...besides, the other girl didn't touch anything that wouldn't have been exposed ordinarily...just my shin and calf.

i shaved mine all the way up, but that's because i also trimmed the hedges too, and as far as i'm concerned, you can't have a well trimmed shrubbery with an un-mown lawn. ;)

starting to sound like the RBR roadie forum in here.

Except the roadies try to pass it off as an aero/grams thing where here folks seem to accept it for the fetish it is. In that light, this is the perfect place for such a discussion. Fits right in with the beastiality and latex fetish threads that seem to keep popping up in the ss/fg forum.

You mean shaving my legs could be construed as an "aero/grams" thing? Better stop that sh*t!

I'm going to resuscitate this thread, cause I can't stop thinking about shedding the natural socks for the summer. My girlfriend is totally against it, but I can't stop thinking about how nice it could possibly feel, and if it's weird it'll grow back (but darker? my legs are like inch tall forests as is!). I'm going to give it till next week...

I was thinking about the trends in my athletic selections the sports I've excelled at always involved shaving (swimming and cycling). There is no better feeling than sliding in bed the night you shave your legs, other than possibly jumping in the pool completely shaven for the first time.
