Do women in Mizahar...?

[Zynya]

I have a series of hygiene questions, some have been answered, and some I've forgotten. Today I was wondering, "Do women in Mizahar shave their legs?"

Specifically I want to know about women in Syliras and Cypherus. I imagine women in the city, especially of higher standing, would shave. While it wouldn't matter nearly as much for women in Cypherus, I don't think the Drykas would mind a little extra hair.

Of course then I got to thinking about women across all of Mizahar, which ones would or wouldn't shave, and why?

[Taylani]

never thought about it, but we do have razors in our SP so shaving exists. I think that city women might, just because it's not as hard to live in a city and they have more time for Frivolities but women like Drykas women who live with the harshness of every day life might not designate time for it..but I guess it might just come down to each woman.

Hair removal is more aesthetic than hygiene since having body hair doesn't make you unclean. But both fit into the 'personal choice' category.

Thank you Gossamer for replying so quickly.


So it is not viewed as a status thing, simply whether or not individuals wish to be hairless. I imagine the horse Clans would view it as a frivolous thing, whereas it might be commonplace in a city.

I wouldn't think it would matter to the horse people. Maybe nobles, or dancers, or prostitutes. But to the majority of the sub-races it would be a luxury to spend time every day shaving for no particular reason.

In reality, not all women need to shave. Dark skinned women with coarse hair actually tend to make things worse by shaving. Presumably it is the case with light skinned women with blonde hair down to the roots. It tends to grow back into darker stubble when shaved. So... presumably this extends to the humans of Mizahar? Humans have different hair textures that require different types of care.

Good point, I didn't remember that since it's socially accepted that you must shave. I haven't exactly seen never shaven legs. Thank you.
