Leg Shaving...damn

[yourmomgoestocollege]

Show is not til March but a buddy of mine who competes mentioned that I should start shaving my legs now for two reasons. The ingrown hairs will become less frequent the longer I shave and I need the practice as it is not the easiest thing in the world to do. I have never shaved my legs. I have alot of hair on them.

Any thoughts? Is he crazy?

Sounds right about the ingrown hairs and practicing. If you have that much hair you might want to trim it down with clippers before shaving with a razor though.

So you think I should start now as well? I thought he was screwing with me because he knows my wife is going to make fun of me (donkey punch will take care of that) when I do it.

i shaved my arms for the first time ever two nights ago and it took me over 30 minutes. But i found out i am way more vascular than i thought.

Yeah it takes awhile the first time you do it. You will get much quicker. I have been doing chest and arms for quite sometime. I like the look better as well. I think it does help with tracking progress as you can see the definition much better.

I guess I will go a chopping down the forest on my legs tonight. I would assume a healthy dose of lotion afterwards will help?

My wife is gonna ride me like the village bicycle. Oh well, should be fun!

Dude, I always start shaving two months out from a contest for exactly the same reasons: 1) the ingrown hairs are a beyatch...they hurt like hell and are ugly; and 2) you get the hang of it and don't dice your legs up. Tell him to use a gel foam and buy women's (not men's) razors. I have a show in 10 weeks, started shaving last week and my legs look like I got in a fight with a cat!

Thanks guys! I guess I will give it a go. Can't be all that bad.

wax that mess man.. commit

I forgot to add. Douse your freshly shaved skin with alcohol or astringent immediately after shaving to cut the bacterial growth. It will cut down the ingrown hairs significantly. Also, you might need to get your girlfriend to shave your arse and hard to reach parts. Can be kind of fun, though!

The problem is that you get the unsightly hairline if you dont fully commit. So, you have to do the bunghole. The funny thing is that it will significantly change the sound of your farts. My buddy (non-bodybuilder) thought it was so funny that he did it himself... You will enjoy some laughs, trust me!
