Question. Just how hairy are your legs? As I have stated in some threads I have no hair follicles on the back of my legs and very fine almost non-existent hair on the shins. No need to shave. Zero underarm hair too. My son looks like a hairy ape. I don't know where those genes came from although his natural grandfather's gene pool is not fully known.

Is it just an issue of the act of shaving your legs? Or would this really set the stage for in-law speculation or confrontation? At the beach I see a lot of totally shaved men. Some women love hairy guys. Some love clean shaven guys. None love their men in between because the stubble is irritating when intimate. Without going through seven pages on this thread to find the answer "Why does your wife not want you to have hair free legs?" Do you shave other parts of your body such as chest and back and underarms or forearms. I know when in public I would prefer wearing a long sleeve dress to hide my forearms. It would look rather strange if you were at a gathering with baby smooth legs and hairy arms and chest/back. That would raise eyebrows. Better to shave the entire body and project a new male image.
