Have you ever tired it? In my mid-20s I had heart surgery to correct a congenital defect. Prior to the procedure my entire body below my neck was shaved, except for my arms, which, of course, is where they put all the tape, but that's another story. I have been shaving my legs during riding season ever since. It just feels so nice.
