Or, hear me out, you could just not bother at all. It works for (most) men after all ;)
I’m 52 and can’t be bothered with the waste of time. I will occasionally shave because it does feel nice for a bit afterwards. Honestly, same goes with my pits. In all fairness though, I’m fair skinned with lighter colored body hair that isn’t all that thick. EXCEPT for the motherfucking chin hairs. Those damn things I curse at each and every one that I rip from my face.
That said, people should do whatever the fuck they feel comfortable with in regards to their own body hair.
If you’re interested in dealing with them once and for all, there are treatments (I think they use lasers) that will kill the hair follicles and prevent them from growing hair anymore.
My mom had it done on her legs and she hasn’t had to shave since, not sure how expensive it is but it might be worth looking.
For the person you’re replying to, lighter hair (such as blonde, gray, or some form of dirty blonde) generally doesn’t work with laser. To deal with those hairs, the option is electrolysis which is slow, painful, and more expensive than laser especially for large areas but also a very high hair kill rate.
Laser can work if your hair is dark enough, otherwise you’d need electrolysis. Depending on the needed method and amount of hair prices range from a few hundred to several thousand, possibly over many sessions
It may surprise you but many women actually like having smooth shaved legs. Just like some men like to be clean cut. It’s weird that leg shaving is such an issue cause I never saw it as being about men, it’s just a personal preference women have
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.
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
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
Well that‘s just not true. Sure, some women like having smooth legs. But you have to ask why. Probably because society tells them that it‘s normal for women to shave their legs and if they don‘t, they are abnormal. Or why do most men shave their beard but almost none their legs if it‘s such a good feeling?
I tell my wife she doesn’t have to but she hates how it feels. And for whatever reason she feels more confident and sexy that way. It had nothing to do with me. I’m not gonna dissect what role society has in how she landed on her preference, I’m just gonna respect her preference.
Truly spoken like someone who’s never jumped into bed immediately after a warm shower and a good leg shave.
Look I don’t shave anywhere anymore because I’m fucking lazy, but that right there is top tier sensations. You should try it one day.
I can’t wear body warmers continuously for a long time due to static electricity with hair.
So if I could make the body hair just stop coming out once and for all, I would. Except that none of the available solutions are really permanent, except for, maybe burning the skin off, which would create other major inconveniences.
I mean, at that point you might as well wear normal jeans.
Yeah I don’t understand shabby fashion at all. I mean if I’m wearing clothing that’s full of holes it’s because I’m too cheap and lazy to buy new clothes.
I never grew out of the grunge style. I love holes in the knees of my jeans. I just don’t buy them that way. The holes need to be earned.
Never worn holes through the knees of any pants. Mine usually tear all around the pockets, around the beltloops and such. Even at the bottom of the pockets where the bottom of my phone would rub against the inside of the cloth. That said… Unless you are falling down how are you wearing holes in the places shown in the picture?
I ride electric boards. My pants are full of holes, not because I’m cheap or lazy, but because my pants don’t last long 😅
Holy moly that would save so much time. I already kind of cheat and mostly do my thighs now that it is winter, since I don’t really feel my shin hair normally.
Hmmm. This should shave off a few minutes of your day. 😀
I only shave my legs when pulling up my ski socks (knee-high, tight enough to not fall down, but I’ve never been skiing) causes pain from pulled hairs. And sometimes when I go to a pool. So like maybe 5-8 times a year.
I don’t wear shorts or skirts above the ankle, so I really don’t care most of the time.
