Winter shaving

One of my favorite things about this time of year in the USA mid-Atlantic region, is that I get stop the summertime hairy leg shorts weather, and shave my legs!
I keep them smooth and lotion them all winter long!

Is anyone else a seasonal shaver?

Used to be. Then I said What the Heck and never stopped.
No one said a word and it's been over 20 years now.

I epilate and use Nad's all year round, from the neck down, no problems or comments from anyone, the wife even helps with doing my back and anywhere I cannot reach. My skin feels so much better, and cleaner feeling.

I was reserved about shaving for several years and shaved only between my waist and my knees and wore long shorts. I finally just bit the bullet and shave below the waist regularly. I'd shave above the waist but the stubble is unbearable no matter how i approach it. I caught my adult daughter staring at my shaved legs, trying to figure out if she was seeing what she was seeing. Nothing was ever said.

I have also moved from knee length shorts to shorter 4 1/2" - 5 1/2" inseam shorts (like i wore in the '70's) for regular errands. I have several pairs of women's shorts that I work into the rotation. I have no doubt that a few people notice enough to have an opinion, but I no longer bother looking for other's reactions. I present totally as a bearded male with almost waist-length hair and wear light mascara and shadow on a regular basis. For me owning my preference for showing off my shaved legs has become a non-issue. I'm still working on all the other issues.

I am not a seasonal leg shaver because I do not have any hair follicles on my legs; thighs and calves. I do not have any hair follicles at my arm pits. My wife says my lack of hair is wasted on a guy. It wasn't until I was in my 50's that I even gained a hair on my chest; never had hair on my back. It's genetic. My father was hairless. My point is nobody ever made a comment about being hairless. My daughter asked if I shaved my legs about a decade ago. I asked her if it was the first time she noticed: she was sitting across from me when I was wearing shorts. I think people will notice if you go from hirsute to hairless. If you always appeared hairless nobody really notices. I see many aged men who have hairless legs which is probably due to a combination of the aging process and medical conditions, such as diabetes. Fall and winter are also conducive to underdressing more fully than just wearing panties. I can get along with hosiery (pantyhose or thigh highs), panty, bra and camisole under a light sweatshirt.

Funny, I'd almost do it reverse. I shave my legs in the summer but keep the built-in leg warmers in the winter.

I started shaving my legs maybe 2 decades ago without regard for the season.

I shave everything from my forehead down, yes I shave off my eyebrows, done it for years so people are used to seeing me that way, I shave all over at least once a week, if you dont, it takes forever to get every hair off your body, so keep on top of it. Just use a gillette mach 5, found it leaves you as smooth as a baby, love it those stockings just glide on.

I no longer need to shave my legs. I have a hormone imbalance that has eliminated most of my body hair. Before that I used to shave my legs winter and summer. I usually wear sheer pantyhose with shorts in both male and female mode, and I’ve done so for a long time. When you are wearing pantyhose with your shorts, lack of leg hair is not the central issue. :)

Hi Allison :hugs:, I have had clean smooth legs 24/7/365 , for 30 years, >Orchid**O:daydreaming:O**

I was a seasonal shaver, shaving my legs during the winter. Then I determined to go completely hairless from the neck down and have not looked back. I enjoy the feeling, especially when I wear nice soft fabrics.

I'm fortunate to not be very hairy. My wife has commentated a few times on my smooth legs. Only for me to reveal that I have not shaved in months. I did enjoy shaving them a few weeks back though.

I reached the point where I just can't take body hair any more. I did laser. There's no going back.

I started shaving my legs 24/7 a few months ago and never want to go back. My wife is fine with it since I didn't have much leg hair to begin with and our cuddling time together feels amazing. I was initially worried what people would think a the Y but go figure I've never seen anyone take a second look. It rarely crosses my mind anymore. So winter shaving? You bet!...and spring, fall, summer - round again and again. Oh and btw I don't feel the need to wear hosiery as much anymore unless it's to complete an outfit. A dress feels amazing against smooth legs.

The first time I shaved my legs was at the start of shorts season. I wasn't thinking about it until I went to put on a pair of shorts. Then all of a sudden I realized... Holy canolie what did I just do. I put my shorts on and went about my day. I was super self conscious. Well no one said anything. My legs have been smooth ever since.

I let my legs go a little bit longer between shaving in the winter.

Shave year round - not much hair growing on my legs or arms any more

I work construction in Florida, shorts are worn about 360 days a year. Shaved my legs as a joke, loved it, my wife loved it, kept at it for about a year. Then epilated for several years. Now I've progressed to a full body wax about every 5 weeks. There's less and less hair everywhere, and it's amazing.

And over the over 10 years I've been doing this I've had exactly 4 people ask if I shaved my legs. 2 didn't care, the other 2 pretended to care because it's what men are supposed to do, but they really don't.

The trick, IMO, is in the answer. Do you shave your legs? "yes." with nothing further. Or "Hell no, shaving is for women, I have my hair painfully ripped out like a man." Either works.

PS I was a gorilla, the sudden change should have been obvious, but it wasn't.

My wife only lets me shave in the winter, she doesn't want others to know about my CDing. I have my physical in late October every year and the first thing I do when I get back is shave my legs. If I could do it all year, I'd love it.

Started shaving my legs and arms 15 years ago when i worked a warehouse job that didnt have air conditioning in the summer, noone noticed when wearing shorts

Had electrolysis on my beard and shave from the neck down. Wife makes comments if I start feeling ?prickly? as she puts it and says I need to make sure I stay smooth

I rarely bare my legs in the summer, but there are those rare occasions where I use the pool if staying at a hotel with the wife, so I let it go for that sake. Now that it's getting cooler and not hotels in the forecast, I started cleaning them off. The big step will be cleaning off the face for a couple months.

While my dressing has come and gone for various reasons, shaving which I began a few years ago is a constant. It seems so much better from an appearance and hygiene standpoint. Year round for me.

I never heard of winter shaving. Once I started shaving everything I never looked back. That was like 8 years ago.

Yep as soon as it gets cold and pants go on the legs are smooth. My wife doesn't like it in the summer because "guys legs aren't supposed to be shaved" I love the feeling and hate body hair. She knows it but I give her the summer.
