My mum told me to shave me legs when I was in year 6. Prior to that I had not really noticed them. I have shaved them since, with the odd wax. I actually had one waxer who did not believe that I mostly shaved them. I am quite hairy, but if I let leave my legs alone for a winter, the hairs have a chance to lose the blunt ends which give the appearance that shaving makes the hair thicker.

I will let the girls shave when it becomes an issue. I am more concerned about DD1's mono brow than her legs. Might look at laser removal for that.
