I hate to get all teacher-y, but shaving star...:-)<br /> I hate to get all teacher-y, but shaving started to become the norm during WWII because of the push to save nylon for making parachutes. Women gave up their nylons and went bare legged which looked better if their legs were smooth and hair-free. Many women also painted their legs (early spray tans) and used mascara to draw a "seam" up the back of their legs to give the look of nylons and so being clean shaven helped their artwork stick (although seriously, how would you manage to make it more than 5 minutes without smudging your "seam"? I can't even make it 5 minutes without smudging the mascara on my eyelashes where it belongs!)<br /> I've heard some other theories of how it all started, but that's the most common one from my experience, so I thought I'd share.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17942818600092075100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372879994567557105.post-26116090308340972252010-09-29T08:35:51.762-04:002010-09-29T08:35:51.762-04:00this is wonderful. don't froget the cost of ra...this is wonderful. don't froget the cost of razors, shaving gel and waxing!aimee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/00355097829286511782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372879994567557105.post-12211914790847555742010-09-29T08:33:18.740-04:002010-09-29T08:33:18.740-04:00Totally agree with shaving being a waste of time!!...Totally agree with shaving being a waste of time!!!
