how about "I prefer it". ?
I love shaved legs. Been doing it for years now. My wife will tell me if my legs are "Picky" so now I have to shave to keep her happy too.
I shave in the shower and after I am done, I moisturize and then the legs feel just wonderful.
Like many here, I've been shaving my legs and entire body for many years and rarely has anybody said anything about it.
On this issue, I won the lottery. My legs are naturally bald. I have some hair on my upper thighs but that is all. I pick off the occasional straggler with a razor in the shower and I am smooth. When my daughter noticed my smooth legs, I told her the truth about their being naturally bald. She glanced at the top of my head and did not challenge my reason. Then she remarked that she was jealous. Perfectly good baldness wasted on a guy.
I understand the motivation to come up with an excuse, but I'm with Di and Krisi. Sorry, an excuse is going to be seen RIGHT through and will make things worse in a bad situation. A lie is a lie is a lie. If you'll lie about that, what won't you lie about? Relationships are built on trust and honesty.
My wife complained that my hairy legs were making her itch in bed if we touched. She suggested trying to shave them. She sure didn't have to say it twice. I have been shaved ever since, and have moved to the rest of my body. I never had any issues in public since. BTW this was before she knew I was a crossdresser.
I haven't shaved my legs in about a year. But while I was shaving regularly, I just never wore shorts. Kept the wife from asking questions she doesn't want to know the answers to.
I wait until winter months and shave everything and take the chest hair down to a thinner level. Then I paint my toes and revel in slipping pantyhose on smooth legs. Once you're devoid of hair you notice every degree of cold on your skin. I just tell the missus that I took all the body hair off as it was very excessive and thick and I didn't want to look like the evolutionary chart. I keep myself like this until warmer weather.
absolutely I love shaving my legs as well!!

Tights feel much better when I shave my legs?
I’m of the age where I see a PA for a skin examination every 3 months. Being shaved makes the process a whole lot easier. I don’t care what others think and no one who has noticed has said anything. HOWEVER, not knowing how you wife will react is a big question mark. That my wife doesn’t care has no bearing on how you wife will react. Good luck!
I first shaved my legs back in 2013, and loved it. I knew the spouse (who doesn't know about my dressing) would notice, so I wove a careful half-truth. My lower legs dry out in the winter and itch -- I have at times scratched them until they bleed. I said I heard that a remedy was to shave your legs and use a skin moisturizer, which I did. It worked, but I think the shaving had little to do with it.
Last week, in preparation to going to a social group meeting, I shaved to about half way up my thigh. If I am called on it, I can say it was to help with the knee brace I had been wearing for a little while.

very interesting to read everyone's experience.
how to shave your back. I noticed some hair on the back and I don't know how to get to them
Is it true your leg hair grows back quicker and thicker after u start shaving? It sure does on my face!
(Asking for a friend!)
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
1. Hair on the back of my legs would get pulled at when driving in shorts and would be painful, no longer a problem once it's gone.
2. My wife touches my legs more since the hair is gone.
3. Glue or caulk or paint spilled on my legs is much easier to remove without hair.
4. Suntan lotion is much easier to apply without hair, same for moisturizer.
5. Does anyone think that excessive body hair on a guy is sexy? More importantly, do you or your wife?
6. Football players, cyclists, swimmers, and porn stars often shave.
7. My legs have been clean for over 10 years now and I wear shorts about 360 days per year. They've been noticed and commented on 4 times and the above explanations were readily accepted the 2 times that an explanation was asked for. The other 2 times after being asked if I shave my legs I replied "Yes" and that was the end of the conversation.
I strongly suggest waxing or using an epilator, I use the latter and now there's hardly any hair to remove. Previously I had to shave them daily to avoid the stubble.

Hair grows at a consistent rate regardless of shaving or not.
As for thicker, it may seem that way because hair tapers from the root to the tip and you just cut the tipoff, so...
Just a hint, I've been epilating for a few years and a lot of the hair on my legs has just given up to the point that I only have a few spots that require attention any more.
I am Me and Me is OK!

How long does the hair have to be to use an epilady?
Hi Siva
I have been hairless (legs, body, arms, pits) for for a few years now and in my experience there are 3 groups to consider:
1) Everyday Public - never been asked about my smooth legs and as a regular gym goer and short wearer am sure they are noticed. If asked I would just own it and say I prefer smooth over hairy. Its not wholly unusual for guys to go smooth.
2) Friend and Family - this group will definitely ask, and ask, and ask, as it is rather unusual at first, but will eventually accept it as your norm. I just owned it said I prefer smooth over hairy.
3) Your SO - I guess it depends on you relationship and its is probably where you will get the most scrutiny, even revulsion at first. I gradually removed hair, section by section, over period of time (like thinking she wouldn't notice - doh me!) We eventually had the chat and I again I owned it and said I prefer smooth over hairy and that they were my legs (I would never dictate how she should groom so expect the same in reverse). I don't think she particularly likes it, but doesn't complain.
BTW - using the cycling, swimming excuse seems a bit lame and may draw more attention, i.e. "what is he trying to hide" etc...
As an aside, I never really shaved (creates stubble) but started with epilation, then regular wax, then IPL, then back to epilation (If you can get over the initial pain shock it will last longer and regrowth is much slower and thinner)
Go for it!
Cheers

Most won't notice, or at least not have the courage to say anything.
I just tell anyone that asks that I don't like having body hair and feel cleaner without it.
End of story.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
Alison has it 100 percent right. I?ve been asked only a few times and I?ll always say that it feels better and cleaner. Then I?ll flip it back on them as tell them they should try it.
Luckily my SO likes it better on me. I agree!
I shave my legs regularly. Living in central FL I'm almost in shorts (in guy mode) and nobody has ever noticed. Go ahead and do it
Jenn A --- nothing fancy, just me.
Epilators work best on hair of length 3mm or 1/8 inch. Some units claim to work on hair as short as 0.5mm. Most recommend hair should be no longer than 10mm or 0.4inch.
I use a Braun Silk Epil 9. Best purchase ever.
I am Me and Me is OK!

I started by shaving the top of my feet and slowly worked up my leg a little at a time stopping at my knee. They were smooth for months and my wife never noticed until I was laying in an emergency room bed. She got up from her chair and ran her hand over one of them. She asked if I had shaved them and I said no… it was the result of my boots rubbing against the leg. I was a firefighter for over thirty years and there is a touch of true to it. I could tell she didn’t really believe me but let it go. I stopped shaving.
Two years later I started shaving them again. Same thing, started at my feet and eventually made it to my knees. Again it wasn’t noticed until one evening when the kids were here for dinner one evening. She stopped what she was doing suddenly and bent down and ran her hands over them and loudly asked if I shaved my legs. I admitted I did and used the excuse that it made the lotion I used for my dry skin work better and felt better going on… both true. My son basically said who cares if he does… my daughter commented that shaving her legs made her dry skin worse. My wife didn’t really say anything else.
I haven’t shaved them the in about two years but… thinking I will this fall… ��
