 * Wikipedia has another article titled Hair removal. There are few, if any, health benefits to hair removal for a healthy person; the only one mentioned in the Wikipedia article is a reduction in lice.  Otherwise, hair removal is mainly due to cultural and personal preferences, and comfort of the individual.  -- Jayron 32 12:54, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * One minor exception is that racing bicyclists (and some other sports players) sometimes shave their legs so that when they fall (or are otherwise injured) and graze their skin, hairs bearing bacteria, etc., are not incorporated into the resulting scabs, which can delay healing. This and other similar practices are mentioned in Hair removal, but apply only to relatively unusual circumstances. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.205.225.31 (talk) 17:49, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
