WEll, the good news is that when you reach my age there is very little hair to shave on the legs and I know several women who have discovered this to be true. The bad news is that I still have hairy pits(sigh)

Really hot water does contribute mightily to dry skin; especially in the colder months...

Jennie, I know what you mean. This just isn't stuff I'd mention to my pals. I do workout and so I do shave my legs (but only during the summer). I do think its harder for man because we grow body hair much more quickly than women.

I've been wondering about laser hair removal for my private areas, does anyone know about this?

I can see not mentioning it to your pals... for some reason, if a guy says he shaves his legs, everyone automatically thinks he's a cross-dresser or something similarly "deviant"... though personally I don't see the big deal even if that were the case. But there are a number of quite "legitimate" reasons... such as in your case, or for those who swim or bicycle competetively, and so on. I've also known a few guys who simply found it more comfortable (I know that when I let my legs go for a while, such as in the winter, the hairs 'snagging' on things drives me insane).

Unfortunately, I know nothing about laser hair removal. I did have electrolysis done for a while, and that, in my opinion, was a waste of time. It was uncomfortable, took forever, and I didn't see any lessening of the grow-back, nor did it seem to take particularly longer to grow back than if I had used tweezers (this was on facial hair, like the eyebrows, obviously, not the 'private' areas.)


And indeed, as Roni said, very hot water can contribute quite a lot to the dry skin problem. If you have a problem with dry skin, go for warm rather than steamy-hot.

I never exfoliated when I shaved. I always shaved then took a shower then put on body lotion or not.
