I hate to just receive without giving anything back but...

It'll grow back as normal. If you keep shaving it may become a bit coarser but for a one-off you probably won't notice any difference once it is back.

If you want to keep smooth then you will have the hassle of reshaving or waxing regularly. Most guys have hairy legs anyway so it's probably not worth the bother.

 

It all depends on your body and how fast your hair grows. It will itch at first. Itll seem like its spikey and course and that its growing faster than normal but its not really. Its just its a bigger tranistion from smooth to stubble.

As for an hour and a half of shaving, its a lot eaiser to shave something thats already been shaved than areas that havent been shaved before.

 

i know you're pain and yea shaving usually just makes it grow back quicker xD but yea im very much looking into laser hair removal xP

 

Some of the answers to your question will depend on the consistency of your hair.

As a rule, what you shave off grows back the same way it was before you shaved it. There are people who swear that their hair grows back thicker after it's been shaved but that's usually not the case. There's nothing about shaving that would change hair consistency.

One thing that can come out of shaving is ingrown hairs (especially for people who have thick, curly hair) and itchy red bumps (called razor rash or folliculitis). Razor rash tends to be worse in areas where the skin is soft and moist- typically the crotch and buttocks. The hair on the legs does not tend to form a rash as easily because the skin on the legs is usually thicker and more dry than other areas.

If you like this look, you might consider using a body groomer (clippers) instead of shaving. It goes quicker and it doesn't cut the hair as short, so there's less incidence of razor rash and a lot less itchiness.

 

Except on your head, which sometimes gets less hairy.

Most men do have body hair though (some more than others), so it's not like a partner will be surprised to see body hair when you get naked the first time. It should be what he'd expect.

 

I shaved my legs twice a week for well over 10 years (for cycling, when I was 'full on' into triathlons).

Luckily I never had any problems with discomfort, itching, ingrowns etc - but now that I have stopped it does seem that the leg hair grows longer and more unruly than it used to - that could just be my perception tho'. I actually prefer the 'clean' look (I just became so accustomed to it) and I think my legs look rather 'feral' when they get really hairy - so these days I just trim by running clippers over them occasionally when it begins to annoy me.

 

never worried about my legs, but i did nair my stomach and lower back for about a year.. although now i dont really care..

if you just did it once it should grow back fine

 

i thought it had to do with something sexual LOL

 

Awww, you help, in your own way

As I have no experience w/ this, I can't really answer, but it seems as if others have =P
