Yes, some German men shave their legs. While not universally practiced, leg shaving is a grooming trend among some German men, particularly those aged 18-35.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Prevalence: Shaving body hair, including legs, is a growing trend in Germany, especially among younger men.
- Other Areas: German men who shave their legs also often shave other parts of their bodies, including their chests, armpits, and genitals. Intimate shaving appears to be more common than chest shaving, according to statistics.
- Motivations: Reasons for shaving legs can include aesthetics, hygiene, athletic performance (especially for cyclists and swimmers), or personal preference.
- Statistics: While specific statistics on leg shaving alone are harder to find, data indicates a general increase in male grooming habits in Germany. Statista.de is a good source for broader statistics on grooming habits.
In conclusion, leg shaving among German men, while not universal, is practiced by a segment of the population, particularly younger men who are also engaging in other forms of body hair removal.
