Shaving your legs

[Shawn]

Some male cyclists shave their legs.

It's said to help toughen your legs and possibly result in a very small amount of weight loss and improved aero.

How do you feel about this as a man? Do you shave your legs for cycling? If so, why, and why should I consider it to benefit me for cycling?

Naah, I don't shave my leg hairs for any reason whatsoever. It makes me feel so uncomfortable. I'm not that hairy which is why it doesn't make sense to shave the little hair there. I can understand those who are very hairy doing it but not someone like me.

I'm in the same boat. I'm not very hairy to begin with. If I shaved, no one would probably even notice, and I doubt it would improve my riding.

In fact, I've done it once, and all it did was give me uncomfortable chaffing for about a week. I didn't like it and didn't try it again.

I have very sensitive skin. I know how it gets when I even have a haircut. I'll need to apply some cream at the back of my head to prevent having rashes there. Do I even need to talk about what happens when I shave my pubic hairs. I had to keep trying so many hair removal cream before I got one that doesn't have any bad reaction on my skin after use.

Nair. I've used Nair before on my face. THAT was a big mistake LOL

I've heard laser removal is good but can get costly.
