You trimmed your leg hair with scissors and a comb. Please turn in your ATOT membership card at the door.

I'm not a guy, but I'd suggest just shaving it all a week or so before the trip.

Wouldn't this mean it would be half grown in by the time he went....that would be blatently obvious.

Just leave the hair alone... it can't be that bad.
 
I shaved my arm hair about 3 weeks ago to see what it would feel like.. its about 5mm long now.. about the right length. So shave your legs 3 weeks before your cruise?
 
dont shave your leghair you fruit cake!

if you're not a bicyclist or a swimmer, there is no reason. NO REASON.

Considering I have no hair on my legs, I have less drag and wind resistance so I should be able to catch you easily 😉

u do know the more you cut any hair on your body...the coarser it gets. most girls don't know that and shave everyday...which is a mistake. By the time they turn 18, their 5 0'clock shadow on their legs are worse than mine on my face 😀

That's an old wives' tale. When did you become an old wife?! :Q
"OH is it?!" Says Kramer as he lifts his shirt up and Jerry, in shock, flies back.

You know, I'm going to be a billionaire now. I'm going to start selling razors to men who are going bald. After several uses, the hair will come back thicker and fuller with more hair than ever before. Balding will be cured forever! Thanks for the great idea.

 
I am extremely hairy. it's actually been about this way since 7th grade. my legs are a crazy jungle and my chest looks like a monkey's. and yes, sadly, it is a turnoff to most ladies. there's a fine project for all those genetic researchers: find some way to make my hair not grow as long!
 
this may sound strange but what color is your leg hair. My legs are pretty damn hairy but it is really blond hair and not very noticeable unless you get up really close. Unless you have really thick dark black hair I say just leave it.

I hear researchers have come up with this new technology... I think they call it a "razor".

What are you, Wolfman? Let it be, you freak. Too much television got you chasin' dreams 😉

Do you really want to shave your legs? Are you a body builder? Unless you are at the werewolf hair level, I'd leave it alone.

Just tell anyone who stares at your legs that you are Robin Williams' nephew.
 
Well, women "wax" their legs.

Since you're a man, try duct tape. Carefully put a 12" long strip on your leg making sure the tape is pressed tightly to your leg . . . and RIP in the direction away from hair growth . . .

No more leg hair for a few weeks. 😛
