No, not crashing. Life post-crash. Less abrasion around the wound because those hair didn't get ripped out of your skin. No hairs in wound. No raw skin being pulled by hairs every time you change bandaging. Faster healing. And best of all, the words "thank you for shaving so I don't have to" by the ER nurse. (That shave is not fun.)

My first post-shave crash was 3 days after my first ever shave in a race. Got patched up by the race ambulance crew after the finish. Sold!
