I don't shave my legs either but I use clipless

They allow you to peddle more efficiently- a lot less tiring; I also noticed that my knees ached a lot less after I made the switch from toeclips. Bar the above incident they are easier to get out of than toeclips, particularly if you hit something at speed, with clipless you get bounced out on imapct. Not true of toeclips you end up carrying the bike with you wherever you land.
