Been shaving arms and legs continuously for 15+ years. Probably 2 comments, (just "why") in all that time from others, but it's SoCal, so I think it's not that unusual. Response is always easy, I prefer it that way. In general people don't seem to give a crap, and that's coming from someone that plays a lot of ice hockey... I do leave my socks on in the locker room, Not sure they'd have the same response to my painted toes. My favorite color right now is Essie's Play Date. It's a really light purple that goes great with my pasty white feet in the winter.
