(obviously this only applies if shaving actually aligns with your gender presentation goals etc etc, this is a self-image thing not a callout for people who don’t want to or can’t)

    you should exfoliate your skin when epilating otherwise you’ll get ingrown hairs

    Ah, yeah, that’s annoying.

    Also getting hairs on the back of your leg is not only rather difficult but also fucking painful, especially on the back of biceps femoris and it’s surroundings.

    Now I get why more guys don’t do this lol even toxic masculinity aside.

    Anything else you’d like to know?

    You mentioned it’s back to normal now. Do you think you would do it when you weren’t actively cycling?

      I did it long after I stopped, mainly because of the comfort. And yes, I’ll keep doing it in the warmer months.

      If the question is about my past, then I maybe would’ve tried it at least once. I love exploring into the unknown.
