    My girlfriend runs out of nair by the 2nd week of buying it, I complain about living in the 70s (though sometimes I like it). She got annnoyed and now buys me my own sachets.

    I've used nair for a while now. Since cycling I prefer to be smooth down there as opposed to having a boiling afro jungle while being bitten by friction burn.

    Nair is great stuff, smells a little funky at times. Fooking burns the crack and star though. Such is the resilience of my tight curls that nair doesn't fully remove them (even after the full 5 mins). So I have a Gillette Fusion (not the battery one you need to be absolutely surgically steady) specially those tough bast*rds. (I use another Gillette or Wilkinson Sword for my face).

    I like it being hairless but when it grows back it's no longer as full and lushous like the Jackson 5 afro it used to be. This upsets me but the comfort is worth it.

    Edit: Hang on, is this thread about shaving legs? Jaysus I don't do that! I'm not a pansy.

    Silly question but why not just trim to a number one with clippers? Short enough not to cause any yankage issues, long enough to be soft like suede and zero regrowth issues.

    I have shaved before and the regrowth period is like keeping a wire brush in your undercrackers. Going the veet or the wax route removes the hair beneath the skin so you've got the ingrowing potential......

    mmmm food for thought, half a leg waxed, half veet, half trimmed and half razor

    It's like a lab test :D

    Also I've noticed that I get less blocked pours down there since the use of Nair.

    Well, my hair down there is incredibly curly. When cycling things got sweaty, hot and pours would at times get blocked leading to a bump (that I got looked at). Its another reason why I now wear lycra, it allows your skin to breath.

    Comfort then became the issue, my sweaty/wet afro hair becomes coarse when dry (its why I put oil - baby love - in my head hair) and that in turn was a prickly so the hair had to go.

    It grows back fairly slowly, but then I shave my chin once a week as it takes 5 days for my 'weekend stubble' to grow in.

    Its been an issue of hygiene and comfort that should be discussed.

    As a Chewbacca hairy man I've never shaved any part of my body except for for my face and the bit of pruning required for nose and ears.

    It beggar belief that any man would shave or otherwise remove his pubic hair (that is what we are talking about, isn't it?)

    I have always thought that the idea of cyclists shaving their legs was ridiculous and the reasons given spurious to say the least. However I have discovered that hairy legged cycling on rural roads offers the flies something to cling onto.

    I may reconsider shaving the legs.
