Personally, I sometimes tour and don't always have shower access. Bare legs are easier to clean. I also take blood thinners. Going bare can lessen injuries in case of a fall and makes bandaging easier a lot more pleasant. As to the latter, then I had my heart surgery they shaved everything below my neck except for my arms. When I woke up after the surgery I discovered that most of the tubes and wires coming out of me were taped to my arms. One built of feedback I gave was that they should let patients know what's going to happen and give them the opportunity to let the shavers finish the job. That all seems weird to you?

Plus, like @WhyFi, my legs look damn good when bare.
