I used to be affected byTrichotillomania. 
So Yes I have used tweezers on the front and sides of my shins. Now as an adult I no longer feel those urges.
Although my husband probably wishes I still did that. He just loves (not) my stubbly legs a day after shaving.

There was no option for machete, so I had to go with the dog trimmer.

The additional question should be whether people continue to shave through the winter to keep up the habit, or whether you grow it back to keep warm.

Personally I shave all winter, of course I live in South Florida so winter consists of 3 days in January when it gets into the 60s

OP failed to differentiate between cartridge-style razors like Gilette and the real, manly, double-bladed safety razors that allow one to shave their legs whilst simultaneously increasing their masculinity. No other combination manages that.

Edit: I don't crash often, but I have yet to find a reliable way to be shaved before those occasional crashes except to stay shaved. And some of the sweetest words you can hear after a crash is "thank you for shaving" from the ER nurse.

Electric razor. Don't shave 'em in the winter. Trainer rides and occasional outdoor excursion with one or more layers don't warrant shaving.

If I shaved, I wouldn't get to feel the wind blowing through my leg hair.

I shave every 3 weeks, whether I need to or not.
No, I'm not Asian. I just chose my parents wisely.
