I shave my legs and underarms every single day. I just hate the little bit of stubble you feel and also, I just feel cleaner! If I just took my shower each day and didn't shave, I'd feel like something was wrong LOL
You ladies may complain about shaving, but let me tell you we men shaving our face(s) is really a pain in the ass. You can't just slap a bit of creme or soap on (like my wife does on her... parts). First you prep, then you lather, then you wait, then you shave, then apply aftershave. Every day, for most of us. And I can't recall my wife ever nicking her legs, armpits, or, y'know, other spots , but I'll come away more often than not as such.
I don't know about that!!! I have to put heavy duty lotion on my legs in the winter every morning and only shave 1-2 times a week and still it looks like I'm slaughtering beef in the tub. I cannot shave my legs without at least 1 nick!!!!!!!!!!!
Armpits every morning, legs in the non-winter months 2-3 times a week, winter TRY for 2 times, usually 1 time a week. Did have my legs waxed several years ago but when I moved, can't find a place that does a good job, the place I went to in Atlanta, they'd be bare smooth for at least 8 weeks, then if I had it done again it would last 10-12 weeks, and the hairs were a lot thinner and saw bald patches. BUt since its' been a couple of years - not so bald!!!

Oh no, believe me, the "other spots" CAN and DO get nicked and yikes ...well let me just say that most women will only be careless enough for that to happen ONE TIME!
Also, the knees, shins (if your shin bone is prominent), back of the leg near the ankle, behind the knee... all of those areas are nick prone and despite being ultra careful, despite having the best quality razors, and despite having been shaving since I was ELEVEN (some older boy told me I should so I did, dummy)... I still cut myself at least every other time.

I've always heard that ethnic background has a lot to do with it. I'm German and a mix of other stuff, including a little Native American.. but the German seems to be the strongest. I am plagued by crazy-growing leg hair. Always have been. If I leave it be I can have legs that look like my 16 year old son's within a week or too. It sucks.
My girlfriend, however, is Spanish and Native American (much higher "percentage" of NA, more recent in her background than me) and she literally has NO leg hair... aside from a tiny little barely visible strip that runs up her shin and only has to be dealt with about 3x a year. It is soooooo not fair, especially since she's the type who wouldn't care if she was hairy, but no, not a hair on her legs at all.
I think it's the NA heritage. I knew a guy like that, he was half Cherokee, not a hair on his body, chest or otherwise, but long gorgeous hair on his head.
Personally, I shave whenever the mood hits me. Or not. This can be weekly or it can be a month or so. If it bothers me, I shave. If I'm planning on wearing skirts or shorts, I shave. In the winter when I wear pants and jeans a lot, I don't bother until I look down and am bothered by what I see. :::shrug::::
Underarms everyday, legs I can get away with over a week. I barely see my leg hair, I just feel them after a while.
I do the same thing! Underarms everyday and usually at least 4 or 5 days before I shve my legs. My hair on my legs is so thin you can barley see it anyway. I only and always wear pants. When and I do wear a skirt or a dress of course I shave.

I'm sure women have just as much trouble shaving their "parts". But I normally have a beard because I hate shaving (and the soft fur covering feels good). I keep it trimmed very short and and shave the cheeks and neck. But those parts don't cause razor burn. I don't shave along the jawline or under the chin as those are the irritating areas.
However, I do occasionally shave my entire face, maybe once a month just so I can give it a good washing. I've found a pretty simple method that works for me. I just shower first. By the time I'm done washing and rinssing, my face and facial hair are nice and softened up. Combining that with some shaving cream and shaving isn't that big a deal. I seem incapable of doing it without somehow getting one minor nick somewhere but that's only when I do a full shave. I have tried once or twice to shave without taking a shower first and that is not a sight you'd want to see.
When I'm ready to be in girl-mode again, I shave my face, neck, hands, feet, arms, armpits, chest, belly and legs. Everything except for the face I shave with just warm water and a Mach-3 (spelling?) razor.
I better be careful here, someone's going to accuse me of flirting.
I had my underarms lasered last year so I touch them up once a week or so. I shave my legs, etc. every other day unless I'm at the beach when it's daily or less often in the winter when I get lazier about it. I have had leg and bikini waxes when I'm about to vacation at the beach although the growing out period isn't all that fun and the procedure is somewhat painful. Maybe I should find a new wax lady!
Depends..
Legs, probably every week or two. I only shave up to the knee.
Underarms as needed. As soon as I notice the deodorant isn't working right, or it feels sticky I shave. If I notice stubble, it goes. I'd have to say every few days.
