I have been known to shave my hairy face from time to time, but that's quite infrequent...

If you're tough enough not to care if it's pink, women have some heavy duty shaving products, cause some women have cactus legs.

NO, NO, NO & NO. Not happening. I could see it if you ride for a living with the massage angle & the wound angle. But I don't ride for a living, don't get massages & have done just fine dealing with hairy wounds. If you wear a skinsuit that isn't a reason to shave because the hair would be covered. A few of the reasons listed may make sense but others don't. If that half a second extra makes a difference between you being a legend or finding another sponsor then by all means, do it. The mowing the lawn video is off topic because women don't ride naked.

I shave for 8 months. It's part of the ritual.

To be clear, I meant NO, not for me. I do good keeping my face shaved much less anything else and I'm no wooly werewolf or nothing like that. My swimming and biking will just have to do without that extra half second. I'm OK with it.

Same here, once I tried it, I found that I preferred to have them shaved.
