Road Cycling - How much do you shave?

Hi I am just wondering how long is it usually before you have to shave your legs again?

Every other day usually, it doesnt take long once you get used to it. I use a Gillette Mach 3, and you can just zip through it, no cuts, no nicks, nada.....

Never have, never will.

Every other day?? Forget that. I was thinking you'd have to like once a month.

Twice a week.

Once a week.

Need to work on those legs Smoothie, step ups, up and down. Too much biking have overgrown your quads in disproportion with your calves.
Corsaire ;)

If I'm shaving my legs (something I have given up on), I pretty much have to do it every day.

hair grows faster than i thought i guess...

Depilatory cream. Have to do it evry 10-14 days. Stuff smells like crap, but I always slice and dice with a razor so its safer for me. Also I like that it doesn't grow back as fast.

I've always had big quads, and never used weights.
When I raced as a teenager, I used to have bigger calves. But I did a lot of climbing back then.

Here in Savannah, its FLAT. A couple of trips to Tryon N.C. to climb really taxed my calves for sure.

Down here its mostly bunch sprints that decide the winner, so my build helps I guess.

Believe it or not, I do miss the hills.

Every 6 months if you go with laser hair removal

I do mine about once a week.. sure, they dont stay all silky smooth, but they are hairless enough that I can massage my legs easily (fake reason), and imho, they still look good up until about a week's growth (real reason) ;)

I wax, but the only problem is you have to let your hair grow out before you can wax again. I used to shave, but being a hairy Italian, I had to shave just about everyday and the razor burn was horrible. Now that I wax (or get waxed, to be more exact) I only have to worry about it every 1.5 to 2 months, although as I said the last couple weeks you get hairy, but not so hairy you can tell from any considerable distance or if you're spinning at a good clip. For me it's the only real option as I am through with shaving and I love not having to worry about it for months at a time.

Every other day. After forty-eight hours, sometimes I'm itching so bad I consider doing it every day. I guess the hair's starting to poke through the skin.
But the smooooothness is worth the effort.
Gillette Mach3 razor. Routine after four years. 36" inseam, takes around seven minutes.

:roflmao:

I have to shave every other day if I want it smooth. So I don't miss with it. Too much truble.

How much do you shave?

Just a little under my beard and the top of my head. :D O, you mean my legs? Forget that, never! :eek:

I don't shave my legs because I'm asian and pretty hairless on the arms/legs anyway, but I shave my head with a Gillette Mach3 Turbo every other day. Replace the blade every week or so.

Never have, never will.
God forbid I were to win something like the TDF, I want to show up like a hairy beast. :D
