Do you shave above the knees?

I only shave the lower part of my leg. Not sure whether that is normal or not. The thing is the hair in my upper legs is nice and soft. If I shaved it it would be really spiky.

What do you do?

no

well I do my armpits....

but I assumed you meant the top of my legs {grin]

posieflump · 23/08/2008 12:16

I only shave the bottom half bu only because I don't wear knee length skirts and shorts
I have in the past shaved the whole leg
tbh my bikini leg grows far past the actual line so shaving my upper legs requires sheras

You forgot to change back.......... unless your still drinking

posieflump · 23/08/2008 12:16

shears!

TrinityRhino · 23/08/2008 12:17

lol, no I'm not I've changed back now

cocolepew · 23/08/2008 12:23

Only if I'm going swimming or wearing shorts. My knees are unbelievably hairy.

luckylady74 · 23/08/2008 12:25

only for swimming - about 15 yrs ago I'd do my bikini line every day - what on earth was I thinking!

Dalrymps · 23/08/2008 12:29

No just the bottom half up to the top of my knee's. I'm fair so you can't really see the hair on the top of my legs.

Here's Celine Dions legs. Do you think she does it?

moondog · 23/08/2008 12:37

I never knew anyone dreamt of shaving above knees until I saw poor old Celine in that picture.
There's nothing wrong with her. It is the normal down we are all covered with.

MrsMattie · 23/08/2008 12:37

If I'm going on holiday / going to be in a swimming costume - yes. Otherwise, nah.

posieflump · 23/08/2008 12:39

Celine's are nothing compared to mine, the light just picked hers up, mine are ardk and long

Gobbledigook · 23/08/2008 12:39

I don't, but I'm not very hairy. THey don't look like Celine's (thank God)

maidamess · 23/08/2008 12:46

I think Ceine was at the mercy of unflattering lighting there...

Mylittlebubble · 23/08/2008 13:11
