What is you guys experience?
Thanks
So did you or didn't you?
FWIW: Shaving is no big deal. I always did when I raced and sometimes do now. As I get older I seem to have less leg hair and it seems to grow in in silly looking places, (like a "beard" just below the knee). Lately I tend to get lazy and let it grow out until I get sick of how it looks when it grows in. I only shave the part that shows in shorts (running or bike).
