For you females who live in cold climates, or those of you who date females who live in cold climates, do you/they regularly keep your/their legs shaved in the winter?
I don’t. I wear pants all the time, no one sees my legs but my bf, and he can deal. It’s not just laziness, I see no reason at all to do it. In the summer, when I wear skirts I make an effort to be presentable, but when I can do nothing but wear warm pants, what’s the point?
How 'bout you guys?
When I lived in a cold climate, I had the same philosophy as you, minus the boyfriend.
Hell, I still have that philosophy. I only shave my legs when I’m going to be seeing Gunslinger, and then mainly because he says I have nice legs and I wear skirts often when I’m with him.
Holy moly, losta nice options on the new version of the board! (Yep, this is my 1st post back “home”!) 
Anyhow…I live in a cold climate (northern BC Canada) and pretty much do the same as you guys (LaurAnge and racinchikki). I’m not in an ‘intimate’ relationship, so nobody but me sees my legs when I wear pants, which is 98% of the time in the winter.
However, I will shave my legs when I go swimming, just because I worry that somebody will notice my fuzzies and go “ICK!” Especially some cute guy! I have red hair, so my leg hair is blonde, so I suppose it doesn’t actually show up that much, but, well, I just like to shave when I swim. Also, I will sometimes shave just for the heck of it…nice nightie or slip feels awesome on smooth legs!
So, basically, I pretty much just shave when I feel like it, which is maybe once or twice a month, or less often. My mom does the same I think. (She’s 44, I’m 22.)
Which reminds me, I’m out of razors. Darnit…
On a related topic, do any of you who have SO’s ever borrow their razors, and, if so, do they mind? I’ve heard it bugs them to all heck but haven’t experienced it myself, not having had to live with a guy. Except my brothers, who are rather uncommunicative in such matters… 
I’m even less particular. I don’t shave my legs in winter, but I live in a pretty warm climate and I do wear skirts now and then. However, in the winter, the skirts I wear tend to be calf-length and I wear thick black stockings under them, so someone would have to be looking pretty closely to tell. I shave my legs regularly in the summer, though, because I feel funny wearing shorts over furry legs.
I ain’t been a-shavin’ since ninety-nine, an’ I’s feelin’ fine!!!1
I have no clue where the hillbilly accent came from.
Nah, can’t be bothered half the time, but then I’m lucky to be blonde so it doesn’t show even if I do end up flashing my legs in winter.
Also letting it grow is softer than having endless stubble anyway.
It is fairly cold yet where i am and yet i still shave my legs in winter, i also keep shaving my armpits. I do not care how soft the stubble, or for the colour of the hair on my legs, it seems to be a darkening blonde.
I shave in the winter, but far less than I do in the summer. I can’t sleep if my legs are too hairy. I have very dark hair and olive complexion, so you can really notice if I’m not shaved.
My hub says he doesn’t mind, but does comment when I do shave. In the summer, I can sometimes shave two times a day.
In the morning and if I’m going out and take another shower, I shave again for that ‘just shaved’ feeling.
Another blonde here checking in. I shave less frequently in the winter. My skin chaps and gets a lot more dry patches when I shave in the winter, so from about Dec. to March or April, I only shave if I absolutley have to.
Come spring, though, the routine starts again in earnest.
I shave my legs every morning when I take a shower. I am a brunette and have very fair skin so if I don’t shave everyday it’s very noticable. Plus I can’t stand the way it feels when you wear pantyhose and your legs have stubble. shudder Such an awful feeling.
It is my choice to shave every day or two because, bf or not, I like my legs smooth. He’s never commented on any stubblies he might have encountered, though----that man is focused!
Only when I’m wearing a skirt, which is like three times a winter. I usually don’t wear skirts unless it’s at least +15C outside - which means I have a window of about two months.
The Yukon celebrates this during our annual Sourdough Rendezvous - we have an official Hairy Leg contest. Prizes are awarded for length, density, impact, and best overall.
Barbarians!
I am fair skinned and mostly light haired but I shave every couple of days anywhere that need to be shaved. This includes legs, pits and bikini area, regardless of whether I’m actually planning to wear a bikini or not.
I find it more aerodynamic that way:D
Ditto me with The Mermaid’s reply. But I live near Houston and wear dresses year around.
Oh and I’m not really all that fair skinned.
In a real pinch, I’ve borrowed Mr. Shawa’s razor. He doesn’t like it, but I had to once when we were on vacation and at the time I couldn’t find a store that sold razors.
As to shaving in winter, I do, but not as often, and many times, I’ll only shave my legs from my ankles to my knees. I do, however, keep up with shaving the bikini area.
I keep my armpits meticulously shaved. Armpit hair just grosses me out.
ButI don’t like the feeling of shaved legs. I always feel like I have a plastic coating over my leg, there is such a loss of sensation.
Well, it’s nice to know that it’s mostly just me who’s a hairy monster.
Dude checking in here.
I just don’t like the stats on this thread and I wanted to chime in to encourage at least a few brave women to consider NOT shaving their body hair. Yes, silky smooth skin is fabulous but so is the fuzzy or furry covering on legs, armpits, even tummies and chests and chins.
Oh yes, we love you just the way you are.
As this is IMHO…
Oh. Hell, no.
Another blonde here, and I don’t shave in cold weather or warm. In warm weather, I use a dipilatory only as needed, about every 6 weeks or so. No stubblies either.
