Shaving legs

[Charles Huthmaker]

Hey all,

Ok, it's time to bite the bullet and shave the legs. As a newbie, this is a
new experience! The question I have for the guys out there is should I
shave or does Nair work?

Any other pointers are greatly appreciated.

Let the jokes begin

Charles,

Don't use Nair dude. Get a set of electric hair clippers. The ones you use
to give someone a haircut. You can pick up a set of cordless ones at
Wal-Mart for 20 bucks. Use those to get the hair down to about an 1/8 of an
inch. If you're not happy at that point, pull out the razor and finish
what's left. Trying to bury a razor through full grown hairy legs is a pain
in the ass. I don't even touch the razor until it's really close to race
days and I just use the electric hair clippers since it does such a good job
and leaves just enough so that there's no burn or itching.

Good Luck,

Aaron

LOL, I did it a few years ago. It looked too funny have clean legs and
a hairy chest, so I no longer shave them.

I used Nair, smelled funny and I think it takes off skin too.

If you have a wetsuit, does it even make sense to shave your legs? I
guess if you're concerned about road rash on the bike it might be
worthwhile.

Long ago this thread came up here and we decided that real triathletes use a
Blow Torch.

Forks are good too. Don't skimp on the (3M) Fast-Tack.

Hi Ken,

I could've sworn that after a heated discussion, we all settled on a belt
sander...

Yep, the belt sander was right up near the top of the list but it is hard to
get in between the cheeks.

You use a disc sander for that part.

Charles,

Several have mentioned clippers - definitely do that first. Use shaving
cream and a new razor.

Should you do it? It is a tradition. It also makes a massage feel much
better.

Alan.

an electric buzzer works great... gets the hair "short enough", and
wont cut ya or get your skin all dried out.
