I know real devotees for any drag-related sports (or roadburn related sports) shave their legs.
And anybody who has ever shaved anything repeatedly knows what the hair grows back like.
I'm wondering if any of you have tried alternate hair removal products for your legs besides shaving. What is good? What is pain free? What should one avoid at all costs? Or should i just say, "screw it," and shave?
I await your responses ;)

Unless you're a cat1 pro… don't shave!

leg waxing
I never did it myself but when my x-wife told me what she paid to have it done I was pretty sure I could do it better/faster /cheaper . We got some kit for 30$ that plugged in and heated up a wax applicator,apply the hot wax ,stick the linen strips down ,rip them off in the reverse direction of hair growth … didnt hurt a bit
did I mention we are no longer married ??
Or should i just say, "screw it," and shave?
I've always said, "Shave it and screw"…
I learned the hard way to towel off my bike before the dog. I'd rather have a slightly oily dog than a hairy bike.

Affirmative. Go at it first with hair clippers (or a trimmer) if you have wookie legs.

I'm no expert but any sport that requires you to dress in drag would necessitate some clean shaven legs.
So many freaks, so few circuses.
I tried these strips that you warm up with your hands then stick to you legs. You then rip them off. Lets say I'm never doing that again.
Since then I stick to leg shaving.

Well, i do like this option… but i'm kinda put off by the fact that you're no longer married… :argue:
I'm definetly no pro, but the reason, my coach tells me, for the leg shaving is that if you crash or whatever, your hair becomes like velcro and sticks to the road, and a lot of ripping occurs. This slows down the healing process as well as gives these huge, ugly scars…
I think i'll take his advice, but i'm still considering my options. Thanks for the humorous advice… ;) love it :P

Don't do it….
When i show you (and gross you out) with my newest roadburn/hair-velcro patch (GOD FORBID), you'll wish i did ;)

This is wrong dont you know chicks dig scars or so they say… Anyway if you must shave but eventually when you do let it grow back it will be about nine times as thick as it grows back with avengence. My honest opinion dont do it sounds and seems so wrong.
Not the old 'grows back thicker' myth again. Bro, it ain't so. If this was true, you'd have a beard birds could nest in, and chicks could braid their pit hair 3 days after a shave. I've been shaving my head for 3 yrs now, and still only half of it grows back, just like before… experiment failed, I guess?!?!
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
well if it isnt true how do guys get stubbles… and how come if some girl doesnt shave there legs in 2 weeks it feels like sandpaper.
EDIT: my advice, use nair thats what girls say is the best :S
does this lense make my ass look big?
:lol:
