Do you all shave in the winter? (ur legs i mean) My aunt and her daughters quit shaving their legs once it starts to get cold, they have never shaved in the winter. Is this a common practice or are they just weird?

I shave (or try too) at least every other day, I can't imagine what my legs would look like at the end of winter if I didn't shave them at all! It'd be scary sight!

I know right!?

I can see why people would want to stop shaving when it gets cold out & all though.

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to my legs. I only shave them when it occurs to me (which isn't often) and it almost never occurs to me in the winter, because I never see them unless I'm in the shower. I hate being cold so I'm almost never naked in the winter. But my bits and pits I'm a bit of a nazi about. They have to be smooooooooooooooth.

lol i thought i was the only one like that.

i cant STAND to have my girly bits have any hair whatsoever.. and brazillians... are too expensive right now.. so shaving it is!
I have a schick intuition, but the razor part is too big to get everywhere *down there*

and i cant seem to find a shave gel that doesnt burn tho.

any suggestions?

I just get everything soapy with my Bath & Body wash (Japanese Cherry Blossom!) and go to work! It doesn't burn unless it accidently gets into unfriendly areas or if I nick myself. I use a pink Venus.

I don't have enough of a pair to ever get my bits waxed. I'm not comfy letting anyone see them and/or touch them, and I'm too big of a baby to even think about hot wax and having hair ripped off down there. I had my eyebrows waxed once. Holy shizzle, that hurt!
