I bet, cleanly shaven feels nice but I can imagine stubble to be exceptionally bad on legs. And most men would probably need to shave far more often to avoid it.

Can confirm, am man, have shaved legs and stubble sucks ass and pops up too often to bother.

Does feel nice when smooth though.

Used to like to trim a lot more places when I was younger. Stubble can be annoying, but damnit did I learn it wasn’t worth the hassle of trimming your perenium. Fucking sharp ass hairs stabbing you all day.

As a woman I have really sparse leg hair, so I don’t usually bother shaving. I don’t get any uncomfortable stubble though. At least not on my legs. Estrogen changes hair and tends to make it softer, which probably explains the difference.

Laser hair removal is not expensive and lasts for years. But only works if your body hair is dark and your skin is light colored

I’m a guy and my leg hair drives me crazy sometimes. I sometimes get fixated on the feeling of the blanket rubbing on it and it drives me crazy. It also gets randomly sensitive to pull on or touch, I dunno if that happens to anyone else. And when it’s dry it makes my legs itch

I don’t find it nearly as bad as facial hair stubble (based on experiences with partners). You are right though in that the niceness of shaved legs disappears pretty quickly. I tend to only indulge when I change my bedsheets because shaved legs against fresh sheets is amazing
