Do You Still Shave in the Fall and Winter?

My sister and I recently got into a debate about this. She's a meticulous shaver year-round, while I tend to get a little lax once the weather cools down enough for me to wear pants every day (much to my boyfriend's chagrin).

Where do you stand on this? Is cold weather the perfect excuse to put your razor away or do you like having smooth legs year-round? (Not sure what your position is? This quiz should clarify things.)

Also, it'd be great to hear from any guys on this issue. I know what this survey says about their feelings on smooth legs, but I'd love to find out more.

And hey, if you are one of those year-round shavers, you'll love these tips to keep your legs soft and stubble-free.

    If no one's seeing my legs, I don't bother to shave them. I don't see the point.

    I saw this hippi chic at the store the other day w/the hairiest lages ever like she hadnt ever shaved..I was trippin it wasnt feminin lookin at all, at the same time I was mpressed because I said to myself "now theres a person who doesnt let society opress her she was workin those hairy legs and those dreads like nobodys businass...I think men created the idea of hairless women just beacuse it's sexier of course..However I prefer to be hairless in certain area just because it feels nice and, I love to touched when I'm soo smooth...You do shave more in the summer just because of the short dresses and daisy dukes but if your lookin to get cozy w/your beau then more than likely you'll beshavin during the dead of winter aswell...

    I only shave when my legs are going to be seen. My bf doesn't mind. He likes it better when I shave, but if i don't, it doesn't really matter.

    I have slow growing blonde hairs though...

    i like to have smooth legs all year, so i try to shave every other day during winter, but usually it's so cold that i get goosebumps while in the shower and that makes it really difficult to shave!

    I don't shave as often, but when it gets to the point where the hair on my legs starts to stick to my clothes, its gotta go! I think wearing pants and stockings in the winter changes the texture, it seems finer.

    everyday-year round I can't stand the feeling of stubble-actually , I told a lie-I do have to skip a day every so often, maybe one day every couple of months, so my skin doesn't get too irritated.

    I don't shave at all, I just go to the salon for a wax. A bit painful, yes; but easier and doesn't need to be done so often.
