if your gonna shave,
where do stop?
i mean,the rug goes from top to toes.
Just where do you draw(or shave) the line?
Full body waxing has got to hurt.

So you keep saying.

As far as the feeling the cold "less" with shaved legs - I'd say that was a misconception.
As humans, we naturally have hair to create a blanket of air to insulate us against the differing temperature of our surroundings. Air is actually a bad conductor of heat as opposed to moisture laded skin.
The autonomic reaction to produce sweat, thereby increasing the heat transfer to the surrounding air, is an example of this.

I have no idea how this is relevant to brazillian waxing.

Sidenote : Humans have no perception of "cold" - it is actually the loss of heat that produces this sensation.

Well usually people shave to the knick-line, if you're a XC rider..

That's where I went.. and went being past tense not current :oops:

i think that shaving your legs for cycling is bullshit (for guys that is) but it is because there is less friction or some crap but i think it is more for road bikers

shudup snow_rider. there's plenty of reasons to shave your legs, ever heard of reading everybody elses posts? try getting hit by a car then scrapping along the ground for a few meters when your clipped in. then try and pick the gravel out of your cuts, then try puting patches over them and having to change them for weeks as they heal.
then, you'll think to yourself, why dont i shave my legs?

I dunno much about the coveted back,crack and sack wax but I know plenty of females who get brazilians to impress the opposite sex. (it usually works from my understanding.)

I ride dirt too dude and I shave. When you wear knicks all the time and get infected hairs from the lycra you would as well. But you ride dirt rexy so you wouldn't know what lycra is, right?:)

For the how high question. All the way up. Just leaving a little on the inside for equipment comfort. Don't want stubble in the swinging zone. If you are going to loose bark it is going to happen on the outside of the calf, the knee and the hip. So you might as well get rid of it all over. I am not Italian and don't wear a gold chain around my thighs.
