Default Unwanted Hair.

Okay.. I was wondering if anyone shaves or removes hair from above their knees up to their thighs. I have hair all on that part of my legs and I'd really like to get rid of it, but I still want to keep the hair on my legs and I think that would look retarded with one half of your leg hairy and the other half gone. lol.

Any ideas?

Aren't there laser hair surgeries available for people who want to stay hairless?

If that isn't an option, just shave your legs. The half and half thing sounds like plenty of awkward conversations at the gym.

My advice... don't shave them with a razor. You'll probably end up with a lot of ingrowns. Especially if you wear pants/jeans a lot.

I've dated a couple of guys that will trim their upper thighs though. Arms too. They simply use beard trimmers or clippers with variable attachments, and leave a little bit of length there. That way, you can decrease the amount of hair you have, but you won't risk getting the ingrowns, or have that half and half look that you'd get with fully shaving your thighs.

Yep. IK is right as usual. Trimming is the way to go. Just get small beard type trimmers like she said with different length attachments. Just get an inexpensive one. I don't worry with it much anymore but that is what I used to do as well.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

Yeah I agree with you two, trimming is the best way than shaving with a razor. It is also much safer and you will also encounter less troubles.

Yep. Same thing.

Use a short attachment, so that you'll still have a little fuzz. But not shaving clean to the skin will help keep you from getting overly itchy or ingrowns.
