Personal Grooming

OK.

So I went out in Lycra shorts for the first time this summer the day before yesterday (been in baggies or tights up until now) and decided I'd better do something about the old leg moss.
I can't be doing with hairy carpets sticking out the bottom of Lycra, so it had to be done.

(Think it's a bit of a fetish....but cycling's such a good excuse :shock: )

Anyway, just out of curiosity, I wondered what other people do. Hair or not? and if not how do you rid yourself of it.
Personally I use the wife's excavator thingy cos I can't be doing with stubble and wax is too messy. I also go all the way up. :shock: cos hairy shorts look even more stupid.

Bit of an odd one really, but it is retro.......Lycra and shaved legs an all.

PS. I did a Google search for 'hairy shorts' hoping to add a witty photo.
I won't make that mistake again! :shock: :shock:

That's half the fun. I've had folks convinced I work as a female impersonator on more then one occasion.

He He He!

Shaving is the way to go

Warm up balm goes in easier, cuts heal quicker and allows mud to wash off in a flash

One of the best quips about shaving legs was in this blog entry by Dave Moulton...
