What is the best way? Wax, veet or razor? Also how high does one go? Just asking for a ' friend' honest..

The best way to get rid of leg hair is have a "massive" night out and fall asleep drunk. Then get your friends to burn it off with cigarette lighters.

Electric clippers to get it down to a very short level...if you are feeling particularly female then get the razor out and give it a good shave/veet is probably better but I've no idea.

If you don't trim the hair and just go for a razor it will take a few hours to get it all baby smooth...

How far? Up to you but I always thought from waist down...may as well...

Waxing will kill you.
Shaving will give you a rash from hell.
You have to leave veet on so long you'll end up with chemical burns.
Tweezers...it's the only choice ๐Ÿ˜‰

Start at your ankles, keep going up till just before your notcha. Any higher and you'll look silly

3. Razor

How far up? Well, nobody wants hairy boxers...

Haha!

Veet if they're proper man hair, then shave every few days. It's quite liberating the first time!

Forgive my ignorance but is shaving legs done so it's easier to bandage or tape up if you come off?

No.
And no.
There is no sane/logical reason to do it.

I can only ask 'why'? It's obviously not for hairodynamics cos if you were fast enough for it to matter, you wouldn't have to ask.
If you have a massage after each ride, then I can understand, as I can if you get lots of gravel rash & don't want it to hurt when you pull the plasters off.
But why?

Aye, have you seen the comedy sketch where they tie the person's shoe laces together? He gets up and falls over...imagine that on the start line - you find someone has tied your legs hairs together and you can't turn your pedals...and don't get me starter on the velcro attachment 'joke'!

If I'm wearing my 3/4 tights, hair creeps through and then pulls in the legs. Also the silicone grip strips at the end pull the hair on my legs. Hair in my "gentlemans region" also poke through the lycra. I always thought shaving was to avoid such unpleasentness.

Bic razor in the shower. 5 mins per leg. A few inches above your shorts line. I recommend moisturising your legs after as shaving is very drying to the skin.
