Men Who Shave Their Legs

Other men shaving their legs are cyclists, like Lance Armstrong. Most professional bicycle racers keep bare legs, so you might not look serious about the sport unless, you too, start taking the razor to your legs as well.

But some professional cyclists have other reasons. Since the hair adds insulation, it feels cooler to have bare legs. At the speeds traveled and conditions rode over, they’re bound to fall. So cleaning up smooth legs is easier to do than on hairy ones- especially when removing band-aids are involved. Massage, a part of many althete's routine, is said to be more enjoyable over shaved legs because there’s no pulling on the hair.

Besides, with all that hard work, who would see all those leg muscles hidden underneath the hair?

Shaving is so short-lived though. Waxing, if done right, removes the entire hair follicle and will last so much longer than shaving, up to six weeks. Get the step-by-step: How To Leg Wax at Home.
