To use my own hair removal as examples... Personal aesthetics can include tactile sensations, not just visual. It drives me nuts to have a coarse hair on my chin; I find myself fiddling with them incessantly. On the other hand (er, leg), when I do succumb to social/cultural pressure to remove my leg hair (pretty much only ever for a family member's wedding), I like the way it feels on the first day, but that tactile sensation isn't reason enough for me to do it all the time.
