Thread: Admit it: You shave your legs, don't you?

I'm a newbie. Last night, I had a wonderful time sitting at home and practicing my honing skills on a few blades. To test my progress, I'd shave a bit of hair off my arm now and then.

After a while, the bare patches on my arm became pretty obvious (and it looked ridiculous). But I was having too much fun to stop. So I rolled up my pants and started doing my test shaves on my calf. I got so into it that time just flew by... and the next thing I knew my entire left calf was bare and silky smooth.

Of course, then it hit me: Summer's arrived and I'll be wearing shorts soon. I'm going to be walking around with one shaved leg!

Oh well. Let them all laugh. I'm too old to care what other people think.

Anyone else a leg shaver??

Not a leg shaver, but both hands are shaven plus about 3 inches of my left arm

Ive got some square patches on my right leg that are nice and barren...

I test razors on both arms and legs - but never to the point of smooth, lol

Don't worry about it, and you can always tell people you swim or do triathlons... or are metrosexual, I guess

Cheers

i dont have any hair on my left hand. my right leg is starting to get some bald spots now.

Fortunately I am fair skinned and haired so shaving the arm hardly shows. I have on occasions tested a razor on my legs especially as my leg hairs are much thicker. My leg hairs are fair as well so no problem again in shorts (apart from sunburn).

Tried it, didn't like it. The air/wind/breeze feels odd because of a lack of sensitivity plus the cotton bedsheets feel kinda like silk but has this very weird feeling to it.

Can't say I have really tried this however I can understanad why one would want to do this. However the legs are a lot less sensitive then the face.

Yes, I shave my legs.

That also describes my situation very well. My entire left arm is bold and you don't even notice it if you look at it. My legs also have some hairless patches where I tested razors, but you don't really see them too (not that I care )
