Shave
 
Do you shave your legs and arms? Why or Why not. I used to but in-grown hair was always a problem.

Jim, you might do a search on the subject - there have been endless threads on the subject. As long as I am here, yes, I shave both.

Reasons:

1. Peer pressure (most won't admit to this)
2. Looks better
3. Easier to massage
4. Easier to slather on sunscreen before and lotion after showing
5. Makes it a bit easier to deal with road rash
6. Peer pressure

Between the Pinarello frame, the Giro helmet, and the Giagessi jacket, that counts as peer pressure for me ;)

Just do it in the shower. Wash your hair, scrub your body, then any offending hair is nice and soft, lather with a bit of shampoo and shave away. A disposable razor lasts forever that way, I don't know why guys do this in front of the sink ritual with the cream, in the shower's the way to go.
