19 Reasons To Stop Shaving Your Legs

Long hair, don't care.

1. Shaving cuts are the total worst.

War wounds (ԾεԾ|||) Swedish winter + newly shaved legs + generally dry skin + scratching dry skin = aouch.

2. No matter how long you've been shaving, it will never seem like less of a chore.

3. And let's not pretend that waxing is any better.

4. Plus, whichever way you manage to get your legs smooth, there's no avoiding dry skin.

I shaved my legs and now I'm all itchy #girlproblems #dryskin #ow 😡👎

Women are single-handedly keeping the coconut oil industry alive as a result.

5. Either way you look at it, hair removal is a world of pain.

6. You only seem to remember to shave your legs when they end up being covered up.

I shave my legs and then I want to wear jeans. I want to wear shorts and I haven't shaved my legs. I am all of my own problems.

7. And the times you don't want to sleep with someone after a date are always the times your legs are at their smoothest.

8. Like hairy legs should be a reason to not sleep with someone anyway.

9. And if they do give a shit, well that's a good way to work out that they're not worth bothering with, isn't it?

10. Hairy legs keep you warm.

my legs felt so good after I shaved them, then I got cold chills😡

Because, duh, nature.

11. Admit it, the breeze blowing through your leg hair feels alright, doesn't it?

12. Let's talk about how expensive razors are...

13. Want to keep your legs smooth every day? Better bring the big bucks next time you're in Boots.

14. It was only with the rise of the pin-up look in the '50s that women generally started shaving their legs anyway.

15. So hold up, women have happily had fuzzy shins for centuries and we're spending a shit load of time and money on smoothing ours?

16. Nobody seems to think it's gross when a man has a load of hair.

17. So why should body hair be disgusting just because it's growing out of a woman?

18. Men have never had to concern themselves with this bullshit, so why should women?

19. Fuck leg shaving. Fuck the patriarchy!
