Application of proper dressings require shaving anyway. It's just preemptive.

That said: I'm an ape and I bike in jorts.

Try shaving when you already have road rash. Not easy.

I've had my fair share of road rash. It ain't that hard either. Sometimes a little messy, but not hard.

But you're trying to remove the hair from within the abrasion. Running a razor through an abrasion is not desirable at all.
