I started shaving my arms this winter and my hands about 2 years ago. No one has ever noticed my hands (AFAIK). My wife noticed my arms and asked me - I told her that I liked it. I shave my legs regularly for biking and I know she doesn;t care about that. But Heck, It is my body and I should be able to do whatI want to be comfortable...? PS I also started wearing a very light clear coat on my nails. She hasn't noticed and my coworkers at work haven't noticed. It isn;t a heavy shiny coat, but it doesn give a little sheen and it makes me feel wonderful.
