The Shaving Thread Before

Multiple shaving threads at once.

I think it will always come down to personal choice, like the Ginger or Mary Ann, Ford or Chevy, mustard or ketchup, Decaff or regular arguments. The less pain while cleaning the wound part is debatable, I will agree it might take less time to clean the area of the wound, but no matter what shaved or unshaved cleaning the wound will most likely hurt.  I clean my wounds with a commercially available antiseptic that contains lidocane then scrub and bandage. Shaving to me seems to make little difference in the pain area, but it goes pretty quick the other advantage and one that I am experiencing right now with my knee all bandaged up is taking the tape off to change the dressing doesn’t yank the hair off your leg so that hurts less. To each there own, if having shaved legs is a bonus in a relationship that’s a plus I can live with.

We always used to say Ginger to date, Mary Ann to marry.  And since she still looks pretty good, I guess that was the right choice! 

RE the road rash thing.  I'd say the risks of razor burn, ingrown hair folicals and being hit-on in the locker room far outweigh the road rash risk.
