A very important poll

[norwich36]

Since there was a certain amount of discussion here about whether I was unusual for only shaving my legs from the knee down, I thought this merited a poll.

I'm just not that furry.

I don't actually shave per se. I use a spray on hair remover by Sally Hanson. But still only do from the knee down and my pits.

This is probably TMI, but I don't shave my legs that often anymore. I never wear dresses, so it's pretty easy to cover up the stubble. When it starts itching, then I'll shave, and that only happens once every 4-6 weeks, so...

Told ya it was TMI! :P

But I very rarely bother. lol lazy.

actually, i shave up to the culotte line, about 4 inches above the knee, but not the rest of the way up unless i'm going to the gynecologist. *s*

I don't shave my legs. My skirts all reach my calves, and I always wear at least knee-highs, and everything is either dark, opaque or both. Also, after over sixteen years of this, my leg hair is fine and fairly light colored, so it's not even noticeable if I happen to not wear stockings that day. (And - and this is a tip of sorts - in very cold weather, I wear leggings over tights. By the end of the day, I have almost no hair on my legs. :))

I rarely do because no one sees my legs much, I'm always in trousers.

But if I'm going swimming or something, I'll shave from the knee down. It's not really hairy above the knee o_0

Sometimes I shave from the knee down, sometimes from halfway up my thigh down ... just depends on how lazy I am :P

Since we're all sharing, I Do It Luthor and shave EVERYWHERE, but NOT every day (ow) and once upon a time I only shaved from the knee down... then I didn't shave at all for a long time. So now I have bald spots on my legs. :/

Most of the time I'll do from the knee down. But it does depend on what I'm wearing. Even a knee length skirt will hike up a bit when I sit down, so then I'll shave about 4 inches above the knee. But really, for me at least, there's not much hair to shave above the knee anyway.

I don't always shave my legs because, really, they're not very hairy even if I don't shave. But I have absolutely no reason to shave my thighs, since they're completely devoid of hair, so I voted for knees down.

I don't shave that often anymore. I used to shave once a week when I was in high school, but I've gotten older it's gotten so I don't need to.

In high school, I used to do my entire leg. But as I got older and I noticed that I wasn't really growing hair much above the knee, I got in the habit of doing about half way up my thigh... just to be sure I got it all. And I don't do it much unless there is a man around, because I only where pants.

Depends on how lazy I'm feeling, what I'm wearing, and whether you're liable to be able to tell or not. :P I tend to do the entire leg lest I feel half finished, but that's just me being neurotic. *g*

i'm really hairy from the knees down but not really on my thighs, so it seems like it would be a lot of work for nothing.

I shave the enitre leg, but I live in Santa Barbara and must now regularly wear a bikini. I used to just shave below the knee.

I've always been hairy all over, so I was almost literally counting the days until my mom said that I could shave my legs, which I shaved only above the knee due to peer pressure for a long time, until I realized that you could still see the hair above my knees! :is horrified:

I also shave my arms.
