Okay so I'm very bored today, I was sitting here eating Creamy salsa and chips. Out of the blue I made a decision to shave my legs!!! I hate shaving , I hate it because it so time consuming! I have better things to do with my life then shave.

So why do we shave?

My curiouse personality took over and I looked online this is what I found?

Men have been shaving forever. Cavemen probably shaved with stone knives, and theres some suggestion that they may even have trimmed their hair with fire. Beards can be uncomfortable, and they easily get nasty because they trap food.


Women began shaving only in the 20th century. Until then their body hair was invisible. (Those afflicted with facial hair, however, were plucking, bleaching, and shaving it at least as far back as the Middle Ages. The oldest mention Im aware of is in the Malleus Maleficarum, the "Hammer of Witches", which says that facial hair can indicate a witch. Im sure its even older than that.).....





Okay so these are all interesting fact's but what started the shaving of the private area.?

Body hair can also be interpreted as a sign of adulthood, and body hair distinguishes women from girls. The same effect can be seen in pubic hair: some people like the shaved look that makes a woman look younger, and some feel that it makes her look too young. Theres no accounting for taste.

okay okay so I hate shaving , but I do it because I like smooth skin, but maybe it's just been drilled in my head to do that., because you think about all those Greek statue's all those paintings from the Renaissance era there were no body hair on any of them. They were smooth flesh armpit's chest on men, legs no beards ect....

So maybe humans have been shaving completely for 1000's of years? huh so I guess I won't stop and walk around proud with hairy pit's and legs, Dam it !!!
