Ok, I want some input.  All the shaving threads have been tempting me to try this out.

I'm actually just interested in trying it out just to do it (like a crazy stunt).  Not looking for any speed, ease of massage, body markings...  blah blah blah....

So do I go for it?

If "yes" (Ladies, Please, I need your input!!!) do I tell my SO first or surprise her?  This is the critical question.  Is this something that would be a pleasant surprise or shocking surprise to get used to.  BTW - when I mentioned this to her is passing months ago, she was not all too thrilled at the idea - thought it was silly....

If "yes" do you want pics?  (I got nice legs - so I have been told)

There's a huge difference between her thinking it's silly (more of a "boys will be boys" thing), and being disgusted by the idea. The fact that she laughs means that it doesn't repulse her.

So give it a go. But take your time.

Just do it!  If she ... or you ... do not like it, it will grow back.

It depends on what you mean by "em" in the poll above.  My SO likes my legs to be hairy...so not sure I will shave or not...but my boys are normally shaved.  I may try shaving my legs for races and see what it feels like.

Are we talking "legs" or something else here? Shaved legs can be sexy, if you have nice legs.

Yeah, it wasn't until your last line in your post that I realized you were talking about your legs and until then wasn't sure what body parts you were refering to; "speed, ease of masage, pleasantly surprised..." all could have referred to something else 

Do what you want and deal with the fallout (if there's to be any) later, like any other guy.

Clippers to the boys. Are you a Yeti? Maybe you should shave.

Maybe as big as one!    Remember that grainy picture of big foot walking?  That lookes like me (without the hair)  haha!

No, the clippers keep the "junk" from getting nicks and cuts.

I'd go ahead and tell your wife before you shave.

I think her reaction to the shaved legs are going to depend on how hairy they are in the first place.  I think if my fiance decided to shave his legs, it wouldn't really make much of a difference because has light hair.  Now if you have darker, hairier legs then it could be a pretty big shock to her when she sees the nekked legs

My wife thought it was stupid and gave me a hard time, now she likes it and gives me a hard time if don't shave them.

It is now a pre race thing for me as well. Shave night before.

You should ask permission first. If you bypass her wishes, be prepared for "consequences".

Surprise her. If she hates it, it will grow back in no time at all.

Always a fan of men shaving. Less hair = good.

When I did it I planted the seed 2 or 3 weeks prior to the big event. I didnt get "dont you dare" on first mention. One day she was gone and just did it.

If you shave above the lower cheek line, be prepared for potentially major razor rash. May want to use trimmers once you cross the speedo coverage line.

just sayin....

While my husband never needs to ask permission to do something personal to himself like that, I would be offended if he did something I could have offered advice on.  I hate it when people know I'm experienced at something and don't ask for advice (and then make rookie mistakes). 

And yes, pictures would be great.  I'm a leg-woman.

I find it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. I mean, it's not like she's going to withhold sex or something...

Typically I would say shave them down. BUT since you said your hot wife said it was a silly idea... I voted "no". SHE sleeps with you, not us.

I say shave em'.  Then let it grow back and tell me what that is like.  Does it itch?  Grow back thicker?  Shave and let me know.  Good luck.
