Odd question to throw out but after getting into cycling more and more iv recently read a few articles of male cyclist shaving their legs. Anybody out there do it if so ever used a straight.

I would not suggest shaving while cycling, especially with a straight razor.
Sorry, somebody had to post it…….

Yes, and NO! I cycle extensively, shave my legs, but do not use a straight. I use a Lady Gillette with whatever brush less crap I still have to use up from various soap/cream lots I have purchased in the past. Right now it's Cremo Cream, soon it shall be Wilkinson Sword brushless. How else to rid the world of that stuff! With enough concentration and patience, I'm sure it is possible to execute flawlessly. I fear slicing my hamstring from the bone!
Been a fanatic road cyclist for 20+ years and shave every day with a straight; just not the legs....
my uncle used to ride half marathons..never shaved his legs..so...but I doubt it was to enter competitions..he shaved his legs years ago thinking it made a noticeable difference but he never said it did..maybe its for aesthetic purposes

had a friend who done it many years ago he said he shaved to help healing wounds if he came off the bike.
OP I am sure a straight will work. I have heard of women using straights on their legs.
i manscape with a straight.... so legs oughta be easy....

there are ladies on this forum that use de's for shaving legs. shouldn't be hard at all. much easier than shaving the face I presume.
I ride a Specailized Roubaix Comp hairy legs and all. Healing wounds etc. etc. etc. As the pro's admit it's like a body builder shaving his body,, it shows off the muscles.
D'oh! Should have checked in earlier.
