Ok, this might be an odd question, but, I know a lot of triathletes shave their bodies, so i got to wondering, when shaving your legs, where exactly do you stop? I mean, do people have no hair anywhere below the neck? Ive been thinking of starting to shave, but this has stopped me, im clueless! Anyway, if anyone could help me out, that would be awesome.
Pornstar style over here, but I am young and single.
yeah, im young and single too, 21 yr old senior in college

When I was a competitive swimmer, I used to shave down for meets. I would shave arms, chest and legs. Wouldn’t do my back as I didn’t want to end up like some Neanderthal with a hairy back.
When doing legs, basically anything that wasn’t going to be covered by Speedos got shaved. I’d use clippers to get rid of the bulk og my leg hair, then wet shave after that,
When you start shaving, be VERY careful around the back of your knees, and also your ankles. It’s hard to see what you’re doing and easy to slice yourself.
I go with the ‘anything that isn’t covered by your Speedo’ shave. Depending on how hairy you are, the ‘hair shorts’ look pretty silly. If road rash cleanliness is a concern also, remember, your bike shorts aren’t necessarily going to stay in place during a crash.
How much I shave depends on how much time I have, and what I’m doing. I usually just shave where the suit don’t cover for regular training stuff. When I compete or go on a hard/long traing ride I’ll shave up even higher. (That way your leg hair doesn’t painfully get pulled when you’re riding/running.)
Is Ze Gopha as hairy as his namesake?
If so, please share your (1) techniques - disposable blade? Nair for men? and (2) frequency - weekly? When it ‘shows’?
don’t be a wuss. get waxed instead. The hair doesn’t grow in prickly. Chicks dig smooth legs, that and being a none to shabby cook kept me in the women in college.
A fringe benni to betting waxed is usually hot chicks are doing the waxing. I maried the girl who waxes my legs.
while on the subject, has anyone tried dipilatory creams? just thought it might be a less painful alternative to waxing.
I agree with Desert Dude, go for a wax, it’s not that painful if done by a professional, it lasts a lot longer and yes chicks dig it.
If you wanna do it cheap then shave, but DON’T ever go for a disposable blade, you’ll cut yourself to shreds, especially in the back of your knees and around your achille’s tendons. Try to use one of those female razors and use plenty of cream. Don’t forget also to apply plenty fo soothing lotion regardless of the method.
Frequency: if you shave you’ll have to do constantly, pretty much on a weekly basis, especially if you’re not single (women hate the prickly hair feeling); if you wax, chances are that the first few times you’ll have “clean” legs for about 3 weeks, and then even longer as your hair gets weaker and weaker.
Hope it helps
I shave my legs once a week all the way up. So even if I’m on the ground in running shorts doing a groin stretch, you wouldn’t see any hair. Not that you would be looking I hope…
