this is definitely one thing i wish my girlfriend hadn't gotten me to do. shave! i have no hair above my knees and had very little below. if i hadn't started shaving, i doubt i would ever have had to. no hair on my arms either. and almost no eye brows!!! i pencil those on so i don't look so terribly pale!

Yup - it just all migrates to the face :(

(I've never been very fuzzy - so don't know what I would do if I had been)

I must be there. I have no hair on my arms, or underarms
and have maybe 4hairs on my legs. Think it had something
to do with menopause. LOL

I have about 3 hairs under each arm. I have to look in the mirror to see if I need to shave. My toes, now are another subject :-D

My friend Paul was surprised that I have a 3-level grooming scale. 1. The who cares attitude - wash off the stench - throw on some deodorant and cover all hairy spots with long pants and sleeves. 2. Gotta give a presentation at work so off come the pits and those parts that will be visible in a skirt. 3. Date night - get out the weed whacker! lol

Pat and I have a date on Saturday - I am already psyching myself up.

Years ago when I lived in CA. my friend talked me into getting my leg done with the electrical zapping that was the new thing then. I did and haven't had to shave my legs since. It really worked for me. It wasn't as expensive then as it is now. I gave my girls the permanent hair removal for their 18th birthday. It's really worth it for any young lady. They got the bikini line too, I was too chicken for that!
