I'd like to hear from as many as possible that have tips on leg hair removal. There are umpteen products and methods available but I want to gain from all the existing experience out there. Thanks in advance!!

Do a search....this topic has been killed by multiple threads. I take it the race season is starting overseas? It is here too...but we race in winter. Yuck!

Okay... I did the search and yeah, a lot of repitition regarding Mach III razors and how much the gals approve but nut much info about ingrown hairs and how to avoid them or herbal hair removal products. Is there anybody out there with something new to add?
Wax. It's the safest, easiest way to avoid ingrown hairs. It takes no time, and if you can suffer enough to race, then you can suffer through hair removal. Waxing lasts longer, as well. Just go to a professional.

sm266, as I recall you are female...i'm sorry if you are a dude and I am mis-remebering. I think the worst part of getting a leg waxing would be actually going into the place. I'm pictureing like a doctor's office waiting room, being the only male, with tons of stares at me. Maybe even giggling. ohh, that would be bad...
maybe I'll go to one 200 miles out of town...heh, maybe I won't know anyone there...
After meditation when I'm in the grove of a zen thing, I pluck my hairs out one at a time. But when I'm in a rush, I use industrial strength duct tape and ripe them hairs out! Yeah it hurts, but that's part of feeling like a man, and you will feel much better about yourself afterwards.
Phatman, yeah I'm a female. The Aestitician's office is usually really relaxing and calm with soft music and stuff. I know quite a few men who get waxed. Generally, though, it's a salon environment. It's really not that bad; I promise.
