About leg shaving, what y'alls opinions.

I've heard that shaving makes you go faster, but i do believe the effects minimized.

My initial's pros are doing it and looking nice and so on

On the other hand im worried about associated problems like ingrow hairs

Please help me decide

Many thanks
In my opinion leg hair is as annoying as club fit jerseys flapping in the wind.
With that said , I never shaved. Chain maintenance is enough. I wasn't about to start leg maintenance also.
My opinion is do what works for you if you do decide to shave, I doubt you get very many tips n tricks about how in the general section of bikeforums.
I've also sold my road bike, picked up another MTB, and omg looking to invest in 650b road wheelset on gravel bike. Speed was fun, supple plush, site seeing is my new game for pedaling now days.
