Guys, how high do you shave?

So, I was looking at myself in the mirror this morning admiring my sexy shaved legs, but then I realized I look funny because about half way up my thighs, I stop shaving and normal leg hair takes over. I've known guys that stop above the knee. I've known guys that stop about shorts line/mid thigh like me. I've known guys that shave all the way up.

What do you do?

Also, ladies, what do you think of guys that do the mid thigh thing?

Thanks.

I shave my legs about twice a week which is about as often as I shave my face. I'm lazy when it comes to shaving my face.

The best advice on the matter I've heard was this:

"Shave up to your mid-thigh. If it looks like you are wearing a pair of boxer shorts even when you aren't, keep going."

Not shaved right now but when I did it was right up to my "bikini line". Would look a bit dorky to stop half way up the leg while master's group swimming in a speedo..

Speedo line.

I did have a friend who shaved his legs, but did not shave the tops of his feet or toes. Looked like he was wearing the shuper short socks. For some reason that just bigged me.

I stop at the bikini line but use clippers the last few inches on my inner thigh to avoid ingrown hairs. I'm not sure the brazillian look would fly with the wife.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Speedo line, once a week, and the "taint" because the hair gets caught while running

You can shave all of the relevant areas without going with the 10 year old boy look.

Basically put on a Speedo and shave up to the line. I do every other day, but alternate it: one day I do lower legs, the other upper legs. Face every day.

Oh! I don't shave way down there. When I can whip Thierry and Dr Dre', who don't shave, then I might consider it. (In other words, it aint gonna happen.)
