although it's becoming increasingly more difficult these days...

I haven't shaved my legs since about the time you became pregnant. I would have given up long ago.

[avecvu.livejournal.com]

I wear skirts practically every single day. Also, you should have put in the answer, "no, because I am male."

Leg shaving sucks!

[inkedmama.livejournal.com]

well, for awhile the hair wasn't growing very fast, so i didn't shave much at all... now it is. i can't STAND it rubbing around on my pants.

i've got some impressive shower acrobatics! :)

That is the thing, guys can wear show their legs and don't shave their legs. Why not?

So, I decided to ignore gender for this poll.

One day I'll show you my shaving scar. I got stitches.

[ctakahara.livejournal.com]

I don't, no.

[ex-ciannait.livejournal.com]

I try and avoid it, but when I wear shorts or skirts I do.

[avecvu.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I'm sure that, if we lived in another time, shaved legs would be no big deal. But society has drilled into me that legs that are not shaved are gross, so I deal with it.

Of course, I rarely shave during the winter when I wear more pants or tights.

I don't because I don't like doing it and really I don't care so much. However, when I do I am weird out how it feels until it grows back so I can totally understand it feeling weird.

I am sure, I can't even do it well without being off balanced.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I am like that too. If I am going to go to a formal event I'll shave them.

[inkedmama.livejournal.com]

i let it go for a long time, though. it's one of those things that i don't like doing, but i really don't like not having it done.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I only shave them if I do it on the spur of the moment or if I am going to some formal event with a short skirt. I'll shave them to wear my new dress.

[avecvu.livejournal.com]

I am pretty consistent. My legs get raw really fast, though, because I'm an Italian girl so the hair grows quickly. It suuuuuuucks. So I shave like, every day.

During the winter I only shave when I think I'm going to be engaging in boudoir shenanigans.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I envy you.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I am blond so even when it is long you can't see it. That might have something to do with my feelings on the matter.

It has been so long since I had boudoir shenanigans that it is no longer a reason to do anything.

[avecvu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm blonde up past like, high-calf, but otherwise it's dark. It's weird. I think I might start waxing.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I liked waxing when I used to do it. It wasn't even that expensive.

[avecvu.livejournal.com]

No, and I have a salon that I *love* right next to the hospital.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

And I thought I was bad at shaving.

One time I cut my stomach.

While shaving my face.

[skywayman.livejournal.com]

But I'm a dude. Maybe I should....

[purplesquirrel.livejournal.com]

I know guys who shave their legs.

[avecvu.livejournal.com]

I have never met a guy who shaved his legs with the exception of... well, I'm guessing that like, swimmers do. People who need to be all aerodynamic and whathaveyou.

Also, drag queens.

[damncutekitty.livejournal.com]

LOL that sounds like something I'd do. I'm such a klutz. I once burned my rear end with my curing iron.
