Shaving objectively sucks balls though. It takes a long time hacking through yeti hair, you go through a bunch of razors, and afterwards it’s itchy.
There’s gotta be a better way.

Did you guys ever face this and how did you tackle this issue?
Hope you sneered back at her and did what you wanted. Women don't end up respecting men who cater to their whims. Your mission is more important and several have provided the data for watts and time savings. And, you'll be part of the cycling and triathlon tribes. And some people think they look better shaved.
Back to your marriage and life. You might have done yourself some damage. Go read The Rational Male, the blog and twitter. Don't let a woman or anyone rule you.
Yes you could slowly give into her over your lifetime and might not get divorced; yet, if she loses respect for your independence you're screwed either married or divorced.

I would ask her why she is perpetuating gender stereotypes and that she is womansplaining.
I did try to sell her on the "it makes me faster in the pool" or "it gives me an extra 5w on the bike" or "its better when i get a massage".

I shaved my legs because I wanted to and didn't have a discussion about it. Initially I was only shaving a little up to the where my cycling/tri shorts started... but my wife said the 'hairy shorts' looked a little... okay a lot weird. So I shave the whole leg now... but that's how it went for me.

Talk to her about her moustache.
Though the small risk here is that she won't stay your wife, haha.

1. First cut in the spring, use clippers.
2. Then go over with a set of fine trimming clippers
3. Then use an Epilator
Use this once a week. Job done.
Unless you are into torture DO NOT miss stage 1 and 2 !!!
If the wife complains about your smooth legs, tell her you prefer the German look and want the hairy Beaver back. :D

If shaving is girly then those girls are fast !
shaving is faster,
shaving is sexy. (after you shave it feels like you're sleeping with someone else's smooth legs)
shaving is what the fast kids do.
It doesn't feel like summer and thus racing season unless I shave
clean legs = speed and Speed is right, speed works. ... speed, in all of its forms;
(I just threw in a gratuitous Michael Douglas line, but I really just want to say "I am Spartacus" in honor of Kirk)

Exactly the first thing I thought. This comes from your wife (or anybody else) and you start second guessing? Doomed.
I don’t really give a flying pig what anyone thinks. I do whatever makes ME feel comfortable. (And yes also married and wife simply supports my choices as I support hers)
