I shave every day, all year long! Well every day that I shower that is.
I can't stand stubble - makes me itchy especially in the winter with dry skin. My legs are short though, so not much work is required. It also gives me an excuse to stay in the shower for longer  .

This makes me LOL because of a conversation I had with dd the other day. She is almost 12 and could be shaving her legs and underarms, many of her friends do, and I did buy her a razer this summer in case she chose to. So she asked me how old I was when I started. I told her I didn't remember, but I think I was about her age. She mentioned her friends do but she really didn't want to yet. I told her that was fine, especially since it was fall. I told her that she wears pants all winter, she can wait till next summer and decide then if she wants to 
As for me, I do shave in the winter, but only about once a week or so.

I bought dd the hair removal pads you can buy at Walmart. Similar to this https://www.smoothawaypads.com/Default.aspx
It didn't remove all her leg hair but made it less noticable. I've convinced her to put off shaving for a while. It doesn't work on my stubble.

I have to shave every week or two, if I go any longer I find the itching unbearable.

I don't shave very often to begin with. My hair is blonde so it's not noticeable if I don't shave in the summer. I shave about once a month. I'd wait longer but I find it takes forever to shave when the hair is too long because it clogs up the razor lol

nope, not very often To me it's a waste b/c when I get cold & the goosebumps that's when I will end up having prickles that hurt & a rash if I shave. If I don't shave then it's not a problem LOL
My 11 y/o dd has to shave & she's pretty good about shaving a few times a week as needed but she dances & has gym so wears shorts or bodysuits
