Sorry about all the shaving threads lately but I'm just wanting to know all I can before I decide to take the plunge or not...

So in order to keep them at a level so they don't come back prickly and annoying, how many times per week do you have to shave them to keep your legs all good?

I put down once per week but it's more like every five days or so. For what it's worth, takes about fifteen minutes.

Same as Bear - about every five days. Although, this past week I've been experimenting with shaving 1/4 each day (alternating lower leg, upper leg, right leg, left leg) - I think this may be the winning combo.

I put 2x per week, but it's about every 5 days as well.

Edited to add: Just go ahead and shave. That's the thing about hair, it'll grow back. :D

I typically shave on Saturday and then on Wednesdays or sometimes tuesdays depending on the workout and whether I need to take a cold shower to help my muscles relax or not.

Just due it, remember though, only the legs, stay away from the butt area...had a friend in college that shaved that once, the second it started growing back he got a rash from the roughness and it lasted a good 2 months...he would have had to shave it every day to keep it from happening.

I guess it's the Italian in me that grows hair too quick.... I have to shave every 2 days (sometimes get away with 3).  Otherwise the woman comment about how if I'm going to shave I have to maintain it, even if it's only been a day.  I have a 5o'clock shadow on my face 30 minutes after shaving...

One day maybe I'll HTFU and go in for a wax or something.


Oh, yeah... and to Bel83.... I'm sure it was a "friend" that shaved their butt... riiiiiiight! We believe you. Wink

Your really putting some thought into this! Just do it. It will be back soon.I "trim" below the knee about once every 10 days. Usually, pretty much shave above the knee with my norelco once a week though.

I only do it once every 2 weeks or so.  But I'm not a hairy he-beast.

About twice a week.  It's a pain in the butt.  I went in for waxing once.  It hurt more than the last 2 miles of a HIM.  Maybe after I do an IM I'll be tough enough to try it again.   I also got allot of bumps after the wax.
