What do people use for hair removal? I’m starting my second tri season and thinking of doing some hair removal. I’m not hirsute, but it seems like the cool thing to do.
Good ol’ Nivea 3-in-1 and a two-bladed disposable razor once or twice a week. Only use the razor once, and use moisturizer every morning. I do the latter more to keep my skin from aging too fast from too much sun exposure.

Back, sack and crack…
Bodygroomer or Hair Clippers for training, Razor for racing.
Go natural for training, adds wind resistance, shave down for racing and feel like a bullet.

Good for you! Embrace your herd mentality!

first time electric trimmers. Then the razor for maintenance.
If you don’t have electric trimmers then nair for the first time.
It’s not a herd mentality, it’s just that everyone is doing it so it’s really cool!
I know that there’s little, if any, speed gained with smooth legs. I just like them for vanity’s sake. That said, if you want smooth legs, go hard or go home. I get mine waxed. Sure, some areas hurt like a SOB, but my legs stay smooth for up to a month. Keep the wax away from the sack and crack though (Yeeouch!)
Veet (green or velvet bottle) or Sally Hansen Shower Away…spray it on, wait 5-7 minutes, and then wash/scrub off.
nair for the first time.
while ive never used nair, my freshman year of highschool, for regionals, naired instead of shaving and he showed up to the bus with rashes all over both legs. we all had a good laugh to say the least.
Wax…hurts like hell the first couple of times, then fine…occasional once over with a razor if needed.

Do you wax it or do you go somewhere for it? If so, how much does that cost?
I shave most “parts” including legs and arms. I no that it is giving me ZERO speed. It’s not like I am losing races by .05 seconds.
But, I will say that I think cycling shorts with my hairy legs looks terrible.
Norelco Body Groomer does a great job. I use this mostly. I will hit a razor and shaving cream once in a while. Usually the day before a race.
…ahh…Spring is here…discussion about shaving already…
cheers

I never will understand how any man can shave his sack and crack. It itches like hell…pure torture.
How would you know it itches if you can’t understand how any man would do it?
Like your face, your body builds a tolerance. I shave everything to include arm pits. I don’t notice anything anymore. I can tell you this. Women LOVE freshly shaved men!!! That’s worth it all right there!! 
Without man grooming I make the dude in the Xterra add look bald

Are you trying to say that Bigfoot would stop to take a picture of you? lol
