I did a practice shave of my legs last night, to get used to it and also figure out how long it takes me for planning purposes.
Today in practice, I was faster than usual. The most obvious was in my 200 free warm-up. I dps the first 100 and then gradually speed up to about 75%. Usually I am around 3 minutes. Monday, I went 2:51. Today, I was 2:36 with the usual effort level.
My 200 *** warm-up was about 10 seconds faster than usual.
Can shaving really improve things that much? Is some of this because I am tapering?
Also, for those guys who shave your heads, do you also wear a cap? If not, is the bald head better than a cap?

My head gets sharkskin after about 6 hours, so I think I will shave it each day.
Yeah, do that :)
This year is the first year I ever shaved before a meet in the morning. Usually I ALWAYS shave at about 8-9pm the night before. I got it down to an hour now for everything not covered by a jammer. The head is the quickest part surprisingly. I get that done in less than 10 min. All the women probably laugh that a leg can take 10-15 min to shave.
