Looking for a reason to shave your legs?
 
Here is a new one.....this morning when I was unzipping my leg warmers my winter fur got caught in the zipper and ripped out all along my calf with the path of the zipper. Ouch! :eek:

Dude, you must be a hair farmer or something. :eek:

Pretty normal actually. Maybe I am just more careless than most with the zippers.

Heh, I didn't even think of that. No wonder my zippers haven't caught recently. :D

Your leg-warmers have zippers?

No need for shaving your legs. It is only more grooming.

Grooming is what seperates us from the animals
:)

Even monkeys groom each other, come, join us. :D

Eh .... I groom ENOUGH. I shave my facial hair with a straight razor - so not to have a 5 o'clock shadow - but my furr is mine!

Not having to shave your legs is another reason why being male is a plus. That and not giving birth. :p
Anyhow, I will stick to shaving my face (except for my chin) and my balding head. I have no desire to sit in the bathroom even longer shaving more and more of my body.

OUCH!! That had to hurt. :(

I usually answer posts that ask about shaving with the usual list: road rash, massage, showing off muscles, etc.
I now have another reason to shave, since I look like a walking hairball when I don't.
I have two awesome (IMHO) tattoos. One on the right leg. One on the left calf. Can't let the leg hair hide those babies. http://emoticons4u.com/cool/cool18.gif

My girl friend calls me a teddy bear, for good reason. i also shed hair like a dog in july. shaving anything would just be too much work.

My sister found a good reason to not shave her legs. In Europe men kept hitting on her. A Paris cop even stopped her and her college girlfriend as suspected prostitutes. A local woman finally told her that only American women shaved their legs and european men saw American girls as easy. She stopped shaving and in two weeks no more hassle. I shaved once for a body-building contest. It was required.

It only helps that much?

Oh nooo, I just shaved for no reason then (well, at least I'm finally getting slicks as well.)

Yes, it was for spring - and it snowed yesterday :mad: On a side note, it is the first time in 10 years that my chin has seen the light of day - normally have a goatee in summer, full in winter, and my wife has seen me clean shaven for the first time.
