It was bright carpeted floors that inspired this post.

    Shaved legs, there’s literally no practical benefit and it’s so much effort but even if I wear long pants just having the knowledge I haven’t shaved makes me so uncomfortable.

      Pro cyclists would argue with you on that point. Probably swimmers and runners, too.

      Hairless bodies have less wind/water resistance. 💁‍♂️

        Yeah that’s very high on my list of things to do once I have more money. Hopefully my hair is dark enough for it to work

      If you can spare a spa day once every couple of months, you can try sugar waxing at home. The smoothness lasts way longer than shaving and it’s more gentle on the skin (and easier to clean) than normal waxing. After a few years of that my hair stopped growing back on my calves, and I haven’t had to shave there in a long time.

      My Filipino wife was joking with her friend this weekend about how mystified I was that she never shaves her legs. On our first date her legs were so shiny I thought she had oiled them.
