Over the last few years, I've shaven my legs in the very beginning of the summer to get some good color on my usually pale white legs. I find that you get a much better tan on the legs when there's no hair. I only do one shave and then let it grow back in. I never use a razor though, just a body groomer. Does anyone else shave their legs?

Yes, sometimes give them a trim

No, never. To be honest never gave it much thought.

I do, because I am a humongous cyclist. During the summer I shave twice a week. Shaved legs in fresh sheets is like heaven.

I did two weeks ago ( whole body, clipped close) but I am too lazy to keep up with it. They look like a hairy housefly's legs. lol

If I got my lazy butt up and rode my road bike, I'd probably do it more often. Although this time, I got my wife to shave my legs for me. hahaha

I don't shave my legs but I trim it short. I'd shave them but I think it would freak out my wife.

I prefer it and do it when I'm able. I've been busy with work lately (hence, furry), but need to figure out a good schedule.

Ditto!

During the cycling-season I keep my legs shaved. The other parts of the year at least trimmed. It gives a good feeling and it's more simple to handle when showering or in case of getting injured at work or sports.

I did the same when it came to swim season and for when I was on my college team when it came down to swim meets.

I trim my leg hair every now and then with clippers at 6mm length.

Not for me personally but I recall Ryan Lochte saying it took him 4 hours to shave his whole body!

I don't think it would take me more than about fifteen minute to shave my entire body.

This is something that I have always wanted to try but never have.
I'm often around a lot of family members and in the summer, this would be quite noticeable and not acceptable to them.
Would raise too many questions/comments.
Imagine that it would be a really sexy feeling...

That's what I do. I trim it down to about a half a centimeter about once a week. It's long enough to look fairly natural but not long enough to look furry. My trimmer doesn't get every hair lifted and cut equally so there is variation in length with some hairs being shorter and others longer which also helps it look more natural. Overall what you notice most is my tan skin, vascularity and muscle definition but there is still hair so as to not freak out others. About half of my leg hair sun bleaches to a light gold which then becomes unnoticeable. I've thought about bleaching my leg hair but have never done it.

I have a friend that shaves his because his wife likes the way it feels on her legs. Myself personally it's not for me.

If my wife wanted me to shave my legs I'd definitely do it. She is the reason I don't shave them.

It's the best way for sure. My legs would glow if I went clean shaven plus it would look too strange! Clippering definitely shows more muscle definition while keeping a natural look that's not forest like!

My wife shaved my legs for me yesterday out on my deck while I was wearing my speedo. She used a bodygroomer to trim it all up, but it actually looks like she used a razor. I don't usually shave/trim my legs more than once per the summer season, but I was curious what her response would be if I said I needed them trimmed again. To my surprise, she said to go get the trimmer and she'd do it right then. In hindsight, I think they're a little too smooth now, but I sure love the feeling of her shaving me while I stand there in my speedo.
