Shaving
Let me ask you this, truthfully. How many of you shave your legs on a regular
basis in the winter? Truly, honestly,
srsly?About those of you who say yes, you do shave, I draw a
few conclusions: You have no small
children. (By small I mean under one or
two years old). You also do not have
massive amounts of surface area on your legs.
You probably also have a job that allows you to leave the house for up
to 8 hours a day to intermingle with other adults.I left the work force YEARS ago, and since the arrival of
kids, taking care of myself has been a very low priority, and shaving my
massive legs are far down on that list.I only write about this because I’m fairly certain that I
will be able to braid the hair on my upper thighs within the next few
days. That is, if I could ever see the
backs of them. Which is why the hair is
probably so long, to begin with. Maybe
it’s just me, but there’s always that one little spot on the back of both legs
that seems to go unshaven, and all for lack of a leg that can turn 360
degrees. Either that, or that particular
patch migrates upon sensing danger.
Sometimes, with due diligence during the summer, I’m able to catch that
spot, but it’s a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of occurrence. Now that I think about it, I do think it’s
mobile. That would explain how it
happens to appear on my knees when it’s absent elsewhere.Something to think about, I’d say.

once/ wk. that's it. even in summer. but! i'm blonde.
@Smarticus - Damn you! I'm apparently part wookie. It's pretty evident that I got less wookie gene than my brother, though, when you look at him.
I shave from my knees -> down every day, but the hair on my knees reaches sequoia-like proportions no matter how carefully I try to shave there. Which, of course, I only notice when I'm wearing shorts or a skirt in the car, usually as we're driving off to someplace important. :p
Knees down once a week or so in the winter. In the summer... I shave when we're going to go swimming. Otherwise I don't care. I'm fat enough to scare people anyway, so a little hair can't make things any worse.
Believe it or not....my hair doesn't grow on my legs during the winter time....and barely in the summer..maybe every few days I need to shave then.
Having a job hasn't made a difference. I don't care if my legs are hairy, but for the sake of getting lucky, I shave on Fridays before Tim gets home for the weekend. Truthfully, I don't think he cares either. Sometimes things get hectic and I forget to shave on Fridays. He only complains about stuble which only happens a couple of days AFTER I shave. If I let it go long enough it gets soft, I'm a blonde though so that makes a difference. I only shave from the knees down because the hair on my thighs is sparse and barely noticable. This post made me laugh.

Srsly... Only when I have a special occasion, or will be wearing nylons & people will be able to see hair pokin out. Which I have to say, is extremely rare, cuz my hair is really fine. So, I basically shave when I feel like it. Wearing long skirts helps tons tho! haha People rarely see anything above the ankle.
