In college our coach always said do not shave the insides or your arm or tops of your feet. Is this truly any better than shaving it all? I guess its to grab more water, but I dont think shaving is to reduce drag, its more for the feel. So which one does everyone think is more beneficial?

So, if shaving reduces sensory input, does that mean we're tricked into putting out more energy to re-achieve the same feeling, thus making us go faster? Are we that gullible? Perhaps there are other tricks we could pull on ourselves to go faster!
I thought the act of shaving removed hair and skin and exposed a more direct path to the nerve endings.....or, in some cases, might have removed the nerve ending altogether in those oops moments....
