According to an electrolysist I once visited, hair grows in major and
minor cycles.  The major cycle is:

  Start growing, grow, stop, fall out, start growing, grow, stop, fall out, ...

The minor cycle (during grow) is:

  Slow down, pause, speed up, slow down, pause, speed up, ...

Probably a significant percentage of the hair on your legs before you
shaved was either in the "slow down" or "stop" stage.  In either of
those, the hair is still there, but is not growing (or not very fast.)
So when you shave it off, it either does not grow out again or does so
very slowly.  When those hairs reach either the "start growing" or
"speed up" stage, your legs should fill in as they were.
