Having Shaved Legs - Doesn't your S.O. Notice ? How can your wear shorts ?

[Robbiegirl]

It seems like Having your legs shaved would be wonderful ! Though I doubt you can get them silky smooth.

But what about the draw back of not being able to wear shorts in guy mode. I live in Shorts

And doesn't your S.O. Notice and comment in DADT relationships or for those in the closet ?

[Aunt Kelly]

Yes, you can get them smooth. The sensation is amazing ...the first time or two.
I have shaved legs. I wear shorts. Nobody cares. Men have been removing hair from more than their faces for a long time now. It is unlikely that anyone but your SO will even notice.

I am in a DADT relationship too but shave in winter months and wish I did year round as everything gets shaved. epilate my arm.and leg hair to reduce the degree of hair to get by for now.

Whether people will notice probably depends on how both how hairy you are, and what color your body hair is. I'm lucky on both counts, since my arm and leg hair has always been relatively sparse, and quite blonde. Even if I don't shave my legs/arms for a couple of months, from twelve feet away you cannot see any hair. The husband of one of my cousins is completely opposite, his legs look like someone seeded black grass on them, and I'm sure that if he shaved that people would be commenting from now until the day the next biblical flood occurs.

If it really bothers you, and you're in good physical condition, take up bicycling. Most serious cyclists shave their leagues to prevent infections and promote easier healing when the inevitable road rash crashes occur, and the less hair on the leg the easier it is to massage cramps and knots out of the muscles with stuff like Ben-Gay. In fact, it's kind of a cult fetish among the group, sort of a way of saying, "I'm an athlete and you arnen't" to the run-of-the-mill folks. I was shaving my legs during summer cycling season even before I started dressing seriously.

Living in FL means shorts pretty much all year round. Shaved legs get no more notice than hairy legs here.

[Anne K]

I live in SW Florida and as Jenna points out, nobody notices. I had laser removal on legs, arms, etc and have had no negative reaction. If you have a lot hair, can you do it in stages?

[Micki_Finn]

There’s lots of guys with smooth legs. Nobody is gonna look at you funny wearing shorts unless it’s people who know that you had harry legs before.

And you are correct in guessing that there’s no way to hide it from the SO.

Robbie,
It has the opposite way round for me, my wife nagged me a couple of years ago the put shorts on in the hot spell we were having , I finally gave in and joined her back in the garden with a coffee. I asked if she minded my legs, she hadn't noticed until I finally pointed out that they were shaved. She replied I'm obviously getting worse , I answered that I now preferred it. Since then the rest of my hair has gradually disappeared . There are no problems now being with the family , after a while it becomes acceptable and perfectly normal. Besides what about the guys who have no body hair , their wives /partners didn't refuse to marry them because it was weird .

You can keep them smooth, I shave them everyday .

I don't have anyone to answer to, my body is smooth and tan. I have recently broken my own personal ban on shorts at work. I'm out but represent as a guy at work. I have been trying to keep my body covered up at work by wearing loose fitting clothes. I have gotten comments/ questions about how fit I am. My pat answer is I'm naturally hipper, which I am. I also had a doctor ask me if I were a swimmer. This was before I was out. People will notice, they just don't care.

I think part of the key to having shaved legs is to start out early in a relationship. I'm in a DADT relationship. I have been blessed to never have had a lot of body hair. Actually except for the hair on the top of my head and public hair I've never had hair. It may be a genetic trait. My daughter was sitting across from me several years ago and she asked if I shaved my leg. No. I asked her if this was the first time she noticed because I live in shorts. Even in the dead of winter it's usually shorts. I realize in western Washington winter usually means temperatures in the 40's and 50's, but, it does rain. I have no hair follicles on the back of my legs and really sparse and fine hairs elsewhere. No hair at the underarms. I do wear hosiery because the aging process has left unsightly veins. As to the chest..nada there also.

My advice is to start shaving long before a relationship starts. I've seen many guys without any chest hair doing the utmost in manly things. If you present yourself with no hair and maintain that look, there is little to compare..the before and after. My wife actually growls when I mention I have no armpit hair or leg hair. She says it's wasted on me. Now, if you're like my son it may be hopeless. There must be some Neanderthal dna in him...all warm and cuddly, if you like that sort of thing.

Another factor for having less hair is to have diabetes. I would recommend shaving rather than getting diabetes to achieve a hairless look.

[Stacy Darling]

My legs are silky and moisturised Robbie, and a lot of women stare at my legs when I'm out!

I'm a former swimmer and athletic so no one even notices in my daily routine!

Must say though, that on the weekend at the local club when I start kicking!

[Jolene Robertson]

Hi Robbie, I have been shaving mine for years now, the wife doesn't mind but then again she supports "our little hobby". I wear shorts most of the time and seldom get a second look from anyone else. You can get them silky smooth, I'm a pretty hairy guy, started shaving and then using an eppolator after about a year... my legs don't even grow hair anymore except a few stragglers. Talk to your SO and go for it, it's great.

[Zoeytgtx]

Agree with Sara Jessica, have never been self conscious about my shaved legs. My wife has had different opinions on that when I started. She just ignores it now. I find i'm more aware of my "farmers tan" and how it looks in a sleeveless dress.

[Shely]

once you do it, you will want to do it all the time. skin feels so different with out hair, it is really a treat. I kind of snuck into shaving over a time but now it's all or nothing. I shave everything ever other day. it does become kind of a chore to keep the stubble down. your legs will feel terrific at night with a long night gown and panties. I don't often wear shouts but do shirtless in the summer and no one has said anything. lots of young guys shave their chests. Again it feels wonderful in a dress.

[KrissyCD]

I started cycling a couple of years ago and that was my excuse to the shaved legs. Feels great and looks great. Not a problem to keep them silky smooth. Actually the only issue I have are tan lines. Going to try some of that tanning cream to see if that will help with the aggressive tan lines.

[Tracii G]

Honestly what are you afraid of?
All men don't have hairy legs do they?

[Micki_Finn]

Not at all. In fact to this day I’m STILL jealous of my father’s naturally hairless legs. Instead I got my mom’s Chewbacca gams.

My SO knew I crossdressed before I shaved my legs, chest and arm pits. She does not like my chest hair shaved because she liked to run her hand through it. However, despite her preference it is shaved. I epilate and it does feel silky.

Hi.

There have been times, family BBQ etc where my legs have been on show, (usually shaved, waxed or cream removal)
Nothing has been said. This was also when my kids were younger. They notice everything.

[joank]

Been shaving my legs for about 10 years. My wife noticed but no comments. Shorts here in So Cal is a must and no one has mentioned it, family gatherings ET AL.

[Bobbi46]

My ex proudly announced one evening when we had friends over for dinner and the talk got round to sartorial elegance when she said all and sundry "he shaves he pubes as well"
You could have cut the air with a knife! there was some laughter and I replied with something like so what!. The subject soon went onto other things quickly I might add.
At the same time I kept my leg shaved as well and when wearing shorts nobody ever said anything. These days I think it is a normally accepted thing and not something to wonder and aske about any more.

[Fiona123]

I've been shaving legs and under arms for over 2 years. My wife must have noticed but has never said a word. I go to gym daily & wear shorts in summer no problems at all. I would never go back.

[IleneD]

I shave my legs and try to keep them shaved. It's a chore to have to shave them from full growth.
Frankly, they look better shaved. I keep them lotion so the won't appear dry and scaly from the Colorado air.
The Wife knows. How can she miss them? No comments one way or the other, and no pressure to let them grow back.
I wear shorts most of the time on any day above 65 deg. I swim at our public rec center. Shorts are mandatory for yard work or work outs.

However..... legging season is upon us. The legs will remain shaved but likely covered in hose or leggings.

[Piora]

Been shaving my legs for about 6 years now. At 66, my legs are my best feature. When I dress, I love wearing stockings, and I cannot stand not to have smooth freshly-shaved legs....especially when wearing those. The only person to ever notice after I first started shaving, and/or say anything was my daughter. When she remarked about it, before she knew I crossdressed, I just said, "I don't like hairy legs". Not sure she bought it entirely. Later, after she discovered my dressing, she thought it was fine. I wear shorts at work and no one has aver mentioned anything about my hairless legs.

[~Joanne~]

If you take care of your legs, lotion them daily, and do a really good shave then yes, you can get them silky smooth.

Personally I don't have a lot of leg hair to begin with, so shaving them is hardly noticeable to begin with. My SO has never had a problem with my shaving as she prefers me smooth and I have never had anyone notice (OK one but she got shut done quickly lol) that i am shaved completely.

Being completely shaved is an amazing feeling. Your a lot cleaner and clothing, drab or fab, feels a whole lot better. I understand that a lot of you can't shave for whatever reasons but if you get a chance during the cover up months, you'll see what your missing and that might create a whole new beast lol
