  I could care less about shaving unless I'm going out and my legs are exposed but other than that it is only 1 time a month or maybe every 2 months.

  I honestly shave whenever I want. I usually wear stockings, pants etc. so I hardly ever show my bare legs. I went the whole winter without shaving (4months) probably my longest time. I am currently haven't shaved for 2-3 wks. My hair isn't fine/thick so it doesn't bother me that much. I would shave more if it wasn't such a hassle. I often question if I really do know how to shave. lol

  i barely shave during the winter (maybe 1 or 2 times). whats the point when your legs are always covered? when it warms up, i shave my calves but i am personally not a fan of short shorts or skirts so my thighs may not be completely shaved. rarely am i ever beach ready.

  I have very fine, light body hair... so maybe once a month. I have never shaved my thighs, only calves. When I do shave, it's over and done in about 3 minutes.

  I have dark, dark hair. I started shaving my legs and underarms when I was 12 out of necessity. I shave every day, sometimes twice a day. If I skip a day I can have between 1/4 and 1/8 inch of stubble. I use a men's Mach III razor. It is just as good as the Venus, but cheaper. I also use aftershave on my legs to avoid irritation. Every time I haven't shaved my legs I have embarrassed myself in public by having a pants leg ride up or trying on shoes and had someone remark about my "hair." I also wear shorts to bed year round and live with other people (not just the family). Therefore, I have to shave everyday. Lucky you.

  I hardly ever shave to be honest. Only if I know that I'm going out and people are going to see my legs. Now that track season has started, I have just because I am going to be wearing shorts. Other than that I find it a waste of time if you're just going to be covering up your legs.

  I try to shave once a week, but it usually ends up being about every 2 weeks. And it never takes more than 5 minutes. I sure would like to know where they got their facts!

  I shave every single day - pits, legs, and bikini area. My hair is dark and course. To let it grow gets very uncomfortable. All of this takes me about 5 minutes. I guess practice cuts the time down. lol. I also use men's razors. They are cheaper. I also use barbasol, which is men's shaving cream. It is about a buck at Wal-Mart and gives me the closest shave I ever had. I would estimate my costs to be pretty low per month, $7 maybe?
