For the original poster: please research the causes of hair. Your hair would have been just the same if you didn't shave at all. It's been proven that shaving doesn't change the hair at all. You just did all this at the time when you were at the age when you were developing more hair anyway. That's how this old wife's tale came about in the first place.

Hair on legs for a man is completely normal, even if it's a "lot" by your standards. Trimming is a good option with a trimmer, of you can have a few laser treatments once you have the money to thin it out a bit.
