I am participating in a Duathlon tomorrow and was thinking about shaving my legs for the first time. I have no real reason to do it other than I look like a woolly mammoth in bike shorts. I was about to do it and my wife starting telling about all the evils of shaving your legs i.e. the first time you do it your legs will itch uncontrollably, when you sweat they will burn/itch etc.

What is you guys experience?
Thanks
