I would strongly recommend you don't do it for the first time shortly before a serious bike ride.
Some will have problems, some won't.
What you don't want is to discover you're one of the ones who will shortly before spending a long time riding a bike!

Basically, it's the regrowth that sometimes causes issues. Ingrown hairs are a real issue for some people, and can lead to unpleasant and sometimes very painful infections, which are not ideal on a bike, and can be worsened by cycling.
Veet should have a lesser effect than waxing, but it still removes hair below the skin's surface.

I'd suggest and Command you to all stop swapping depilation top tips.

We were discussing this very subject on Friday evening after football over a Guiness.
It was very amusing.
This is through a third party bu it transpires this fashion is also rife among scaffolder's in SE London who also combine enjoyment of a line of peru's finest and smooth nuts.
Why the two go together is beyond me...anyway.
Maybe this fad is going to reach beyond cyclists, pornstars and men having vasectomy's.No Babbit No, Look what Birdy doing0 -

Currently sporting a fetching 50/50 number after my hernia op last week. I don't think the smooth look is a keeper although the scar and what appears to be a liberal coating of superglue (can that be right!!???) probaly prevents an objective assessment.Cannondale Supersix / CAAD9 / Boardman 9.0 / Benotto 30000

Best thread evar....
Given the occasional ingrown hair whilst shaving your face/neck and the terrible, terrible itching when it grows to a certain length (hair that is), I can't see why you'd want to do this in the first place. Stubble on your plums anyone?FCN3: Titanium Qoroz.0 -

Englishmen, your people once ruled an empire and your grandfathers fought a war.
Now you're on the internet swapping hair removal tips.

Look.
I know we do talk a load of bollocks sometimes, but could we please not talk complete bollocks about bollocks?
It gets confusing and we may end of disappearing into a weird bollocks event horizon.
A kind of Black Bollock as it were.
Oh, and mine are hairy, are staying hairy and anyone coming near me with an epilator will spend an amusing hour in A&E with a nurse, tweezers, kecks 'round their ankles and screaming "There's ALWAYS time for lubricant!"Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

Evolution? I'm really ashamed that I know that. Even more ashamed than about my leg shaving (and that I'm considering buying an epilator). :oops:0 -

Shaving?! Doesn't it come back thicker and tougher? You've probably got beard like stubbly growth down there now!Do not write below this line. Office use only.0
