I started shaving about 10 years ago but only in the winter.When spring came I'd grow it back and live with hairy legs till fall came. I'm very active with summer sports and was always worried some one would say something.Then about 3 years ago I'd had enough and just kept shaving to stay smooth all year round.
No one,I repeat,no one has ever made a comment about them being smooth. My 80 something year old father once commented that my legs looked very tan and had I been out in the sun? Well yes,I had!
Most people won't see what isn't there and those that do could care less!
Go for it!
