But, recursive where are you getting the idea that male shaved leggs are bling? I would think that most women would consider it odd/vain. I like shaved and smooth skin on the ladies, but also I dont mind hairy woman leggs. oops tmi.
If I might, I'd like to point out that you're misinformed. It's not the scab/hair issue that you have to be concerned with (at least not entirely), it's the hair-bandage adhesive issue. Take it from a long term IV survivor, good hospital tape (the kind that actually does what it's supposed to do) will rip that hair clean out of your skin. And for some reason, it seems to rip the skin more when you're hairy too, adding yet another reason for shaving. Tape coming off of shaven skin offers a nice, even pull-
less skin damage, no folicle damage.
That said, I've yet to shave for biking. I'm not that committed, yet.
