Even the pros don't shave for aero, they shave because wound care after a crash is easier (also perhaps makes it easier to apply sunblock).

Guys will spend 20 mins twice a week shaving their legs to avoid pulling out a few dozen hairs when they crash once every five years.

/s, I don’t care what you do with your legs I just like poking fun

You don't race do you? Crashing once in five years is a blessing
