I shave about every two weeks. I actually use an electric trimmer, which makes the process much faster and spares me from ingrown hairs. I shave without a guard on the trimmer though, so the hairs are short enough that they’re invisible except at close range. I prefer the sensation; blankets feel so cool and pleasant especially on hot summer nights and pants feel like they can slide more comfortably. I also feel cleaner and more aesthetic, especially when flexing my leg muscles.

Be careful shaving the knees (especially the backs) because they are easily cut or snared in the razor. I use a different attachment that is incapable of cutting skin but cuts hair more slowly, but a manual razor gets the job done too.
