In the 1920s, both the safety razor and short skirts became popular, making it both practical and more attractive for women to shave their legs.

I believe is was started in the 1940's in America, with advertisements showing women how to look attrastive to their husbands.

maximum individuals might in all probability say you may. perhaps you may much less in many situations with the aid of fact the hair isn't as seen on darkish legs. I say in case you do no longer experience like it, do no longer do it, in case you do- then decide for it.
