Several years ago, I woke up with some skin lesions that ended up being something termed folliculitis. The end of that story is that after a number of trips to a dermatologist and several baths in a powerful depilatory, I decided to try shaving. It worked. How convenient for a cross dresser. Now, I shave from head to toe every other day. I cannot imagine having body hair--whether en femme or not.

I wonder how many of us shave our bodies? No one even questions me about it anymore. But I can tell you that my lingerie feels really good against smooth, lotioned skin.
