I too prefer to shave, it makes me feel sexy and pretty. I few time a week I find time for a nice hot bath, soak shave, and do my nails. With 3 kids it is easy to fall into mom mode, so I grab ever minuet I can to do things for myself that make me feel like the sexy woman I am. My hubby also keeps himself trimmed, and once in a while he shaves. I love it, easy access, with no fuss! As to the article, I think someone has written an article to prove or disprove just about any life choice. You just have to do what you think is best for yourself. I don't think it is a "trend" so much as more people are talking about it.
