Women started shaving their legs during World War II. The fact is that during the war socks became very rare; Almost all nylon began to enter the military industry - mainly for the production of parachutes. And it was rude to go without socks. Women found a way out of the situation - after getting rid of hair with a razor, they dyed the skin on their legs and dyed it under the socks. The necessary products for this appeared - tinting creams, pencils and even devices for drawing a uniform line on the inside of the leg, imitating an arrow on socks.
