Well I shave, but the bad part for me is that I have to shave everyday. I really should just wax but I CANNOT stand to have that prickly feeling on my legs. I love when my legs are nice and smooth. One thing I really like is when my husband and i are on the couch and I put my legs in his lap and he rubs my legs. I don't think he would want to rub them if they were hairy or prickly
