A possibly new reason to shave occurred to me recently. When applying cream-based sunscreens, it seems like leg hair just makes more of a nasty mess of putting the stuff on. It's nasty stuff to put on to begin with and the hair just seems to make more of a mess. Of course wearing sunscreen is something I struggle with, in that I know as a fair-haired person of pasty-white Scots/Irish descent I should be wearing sunscreen but I don't. As a result I burn, then peel, then freckle. Hmm... may have to revisit my decision not to shave.
