Shaving for teens! *dun dun dun...*

[Littleodie914]

Hey, my friends and I are around the ages of 16-18, and we're starting to produce, well, hair everywhere. We've talked about it a few times, but can't seem to come to a conclusion... Where should we shave? None of us could find the balls to ask anyone, so I'm biting the bullet and taking one for the team. :D Now that the history's covered, where should teens shave? (We're talking guy teens here, sorry I forgot to mention that.) The face was the only place we could all really agree on... We're all pretty well built, so we were wondering if we should shave chests or not? How about lower belly? To the side of the belly button? What about the lower back region? Upper legs? Lower legs? Anybody who has been through this or has suggestions for us crazy kids, please don't hesitate to post! :cool:

[janey]

its your choice :p just shave whatever you want to shave :D

then again...i know someone who gets his mom to wax his balls..*cringe*

[PlaceofDis]

:D it all depends on where you want to get rid of the hair

i personally am not hairy at all, i only shave my face but i do not have a hairy chest or stomach or back so there is no reason for me to shave in any of those places

the only guys i know that shave their legs are either swimmers or body builders

start off with getting rid of that facial hair LoL :D

Ouch.

Yea, shave wherever you see fit to shave at. Careful with the legs though...some people look at you funny when you do that...unless of course you are built like a tank.

I had to do full body shaves for swimming, most of my friends who were not swimmers always ragged on me and wondered if i cross-dressed on weekends...i hate my friends. :p

Mike

[Littleodie914]

Yea, shaving legs is definitely out... That's just creepy!

[Kingsnapped]

Keep the face clean, leave legs, arms chest alone. I would suggest that you keep everything neat "down there" if you think anybody else might get anywhere near it. Shaving would be rough, but getting a sharp pair of trimming scissors works nicely.

Enjoy your manhood.

[janey]

jeez, i shave everything but my arms..:p but then again im a girl..

[gekko513]

Shave any hair growing on your back (low and high) ... at least until you get married ;)

[NusuniAdmin]

I usually just shave my face. Everywhere else is not getting touched....especially the "downstairs" hair...IT took me 15 years to grow that hair....im leaving it!

heres a scary though. Back in 6'th grade one of my friends was only 12 and he had a mustache and he said he had to shave every day....thats just creepy for a 12 year old to be like that :eek:

LISTEN.....

this is the strangest subject i could imagine on a mac board... but never let it be said that i dont pass on knowledge... ok... you shave your beard, if you got big pecks then shave/wax your chest, if you got a six pack then you have to choices you can shave a "crab ladder" like a line of hair or if its just fuzz you can shave it all of, never ever under any circumstance shave your eyebrowns..ever... always pluck.. they will just turn stupidly bushy otherwise.. dont shave arms or legs... balls if there mad hairy...wax ass crack....

before i leave i would just like to clarify my heterosexuality, i have a girlfriend and a son...

i leave you with the knowledge...pass it on if need be..

i'm amazed your fathers havent told you already
but
real men dont shave
they use nair

[Flowbee]

You should shave your head and eyebrows. Shave your moustache, but let your beard grow. Shave small circles around your nipples, and shave your legs above the knee. If you have enough back hair, shave the word "Pimp" in large letters into it.

Do *not* let your mom wax your nutsack.

[musicpyrite]

...wax ass crack....

hmmm..... iteresting....

[iJon]

im a pretty damn hairy guy. i can grow a full beard in about 2 weeks, it's awesome. my arms are pretty light haired, while my chest, legs, and "down there" region gets pretty hairy. i lightly trim my legs and chest hair. just my leg hair gets long, curly and its ugly looking to me, so i trim it a tad to make it look nicer. i trim down there, not fully but pretty close. keeps it nice and neat, it can eliminate a lot of the smells that go one down there. well there you go, what jon does and doesnt do.

iJon

[pseudobrit]

Where should we shave? None of us could find the balls to ask anyone

[LethalWolfe]

Okay, the whole waxing yer nut sack and ass crack thing just sounds beyond painful.

I shave my face and my back. Chest, ass and pubes get trimmed. Arms and legs are left alone. It helps to have a g/f get those hard-to-reach places.

Chicks dig guys who shave "downstairs". You don't necessarily have to SHAVE, just get some clippers or something.

[Sneeper]

I don't recommend waxing your own ass crack or nut sack. If you are gonna wax, get it professionally done. It's not all that expensive. Or so I hear.

The electric beard trimmer is great for most 'manscaping' though. You'd be amazed at how big your wang looks when it's not hiding in the Amazon Rain Forest.

[Neserk]

If you are going to wear a tank top (and males shouldn't, imo) shave your chest and trim the armpit hair. Shaving is a pain.

For males trimming body hair is a better way to go than shaving. Do until you like it. And it grows back so if you over do it, no biggy.

[rainman::|:|]

You'd be amazed at how big your wang looks when it's not hiding in the Amazon Rain Forest.

This is sound advice. Seriously.

Don't shave your pits unless you're a swimmer. Or legs. No matter what. Period. (trimming is another matter, if you're like chewbacca). Chest is OK, if you're really hairy and don't have a great body, as stomach as well. But guys underestimate how hot a bit of chest hair can be. Shave your back and neck. Always and forever. There's nothing more nasty than someone wearing their own sweater. Don't shave your pubes bald. Ever. Well, okay, maybe that's one of those mistakes that everyone needs to make. Just remember, nothing you shave is permanent! so it's not like you're going to totally screw things up by just ..experimenting... Uh, most guys I know shave (or otherwise, tho nair is likely to burn your sensitive regions) everything from balls to crack, but i run in a different crowd than you probably. But uh, I can't imagine women particularly like hairy testicles, at least if you want them to pay attention to them (you know). As for shaving the ass, it's perhaps even a cleanliness thing, i mean you can wipe a lot cleaner without hair in the way... Wow, this is probably my most frank post ever. But, you asked, so there you go.

edit: i agree with what's been said about trimming, beard trimmers are *much* safer and easier to use, there are places you really don't want to get nicked.

Ok i'm a pretty hairy guy eg.chest,back,abs. but all i shave is facial hair and back of neck. In my opinion, hair on your arms,chest,abs is grand if your anyway well built but it looks kinda off if its just on flab.
Anyway to the advice bit. Shave wherever you like however there are a few things to remember:

1-Shaving hair makes it grow back thicker
2-Don't shave your chest cos that part of your body is prone to ingrown hairs. Just getting it waxed will solve that problem and it will take longer for hair to grow back.
3-Shaving your body is high maintenance cos nobody wants to be stubbly.
4-I haven't done it but if given a choice i'd pick a scissors over getting your scrotum waxed. Try plucking a hair,its painful!!
5- With regard to the buttocks. Well that's personal preference but don't blame it on hygiene. My god have you people not heard of showers?

[gekko513]

OK ... since we're all so eager to share :) ... how do you deal with itching between scrotum and anus? (As a result of trimming/shaving, of course :p )

oh ... and Kingsnapped ... I'm very curious about why shaving the pubes bald is such a bad idea, so let us know how it goes, lol

[MacAztec]

I shave with a Gilette Mach 3 and it kicks ass esp. when you put on a fresh blade. I shave my face and sometimes my happy trail (or crab ladder as someone said). I usually leave it tho.

[Abstract]

How you do hairy Chewbaccas shave your backs? Were you blessed with disproportionately long arms as well, because I can't figure it out.

And don't shave anything other than your face. Trim your winky, but don't shave or trim your chest unless you have a serious problem.

[Roger1]

Why not just use Nair?

I used to shave my head. After I did it the first time, I didn't like the stubble. So I applied Nair. It inflamed my scalp so badly, I ended up putting my head under the tub faucet running cold water. My scalp turned bright red, and swelled up for a day. I was so inflamed you could feel the heat coming off of it. I NEVER used Nair again. I lived with the stubble. :p

BTW: It really, really, REALLY HURT!!

[Sneeper]

:eek: :eek: :eek:
Why didn't you post that half an hour ago??

ROFLMAO! Oh that's freaking hilarious. Classic.

I don't actually agree with Paul on never shaving certain regions. I think:

1) if you have a hard body, then it's gonna look good regardles .. trimmed or shaved (but not too jungly). This goes for all regions. A lot of guys now shave completely 'down there'. I know a guy who shaves his bits.. but he's a muscular guy and wears tank-tops often. It looks good on him, but would look terrible on a wimp like me.

2) in grown hairs are a problem on any part of your body that isn't used to shaving (even face!) But it's managable. Your skin gets used to being shaved and proper shaving technique will keep them from coming back.

Here are some good techniques
-always use the hottest water your skin can stand
-rinse the blade often
-use new blades
-don't shave against the grain
-trim before showing but shave after showering
-use something like Neutrogena's Razor Defense facial scrub to soften the whiskers before hand

As for what not to shave and what to shave, it's all a matter of taste. Go for the look you (or your girlfriend/wife/S.O.) likes.

[LethalWolfe]

How you do hairy Chewbaccas shave your backs? Were you blessed with disproportionately long arms as well, because I can't figure it out.


This is where it helps to have an s/o. Or at least someone you are good friends enough w/that having that person shave yer back isn't embarrasing or awkward.


Lethal

[rainman::|:|]

okay, okay, shaving your hair does *not* really make it come back thicker. It can't, your follicles don't know when the hair is cut. It can appear thicker because there are no natural tips on the hair.

[scem0]

Don't shave anything except for your face if you can't grow a good looking beard/goatee/what-have-you.

Trim any hair longer than an inch to a length that looks nice.

Or, if your feeling adventurous, take Sunbaked's suggestion ;).

[MacFan26]

Hm, never thought about wasting water. You could just use an electric razor, they make ones for legs don't they? I'd be too scared to get laser done, I'm sure it works most of the time, but I've already heard too many horror stories on the news.

Maybe people should get it done on their face or something. I hate shaving as well, and since I never ever plan on growing a mustache or something, it just seems redundant to do it every day.

And lil' Abstract feels a lot better after his new haircut, if not a bit colder than before.

OK, I had to post a couple of warm-ups before replying. I took the time to search the room for bad mold or other possible causes for me to think I was reading a body hair shaving thread in this forum.

Since the thread is still here, either it's real or I'm deep into a hallucination. I hope it's the latter....

Anyway, shave your face. If you're a teen who needs to shave his back, God help you, because you'll be a Yeti by your mid-20's, but go for it.

Trim everywhere else you want... your choice. I don't want to know. But a razor is the wrong way to go unless you're a swimmer and, even then, don't shave anywhere your bathing suit covers. Skin sticks to other skin without hair to act as a buffer. Enough said, I hope.

As far as waxing areas: hey, go for it. I'll know you did from the screams. And, please, I'm begging you, do not include your mother in ANY of this!

[mymemory]

Ok, I am the experienced one:

Shave your face only, but not all the way to the upper side of your chicks, some hairs should be thare because they never grow that big any more.

Shave the back of your neck too.

You do not have to shave your chest or anything else, maybe a bit down there.

Now, and here is the trick :D

If you are with a girl and you like each other but she is not convenced because you have hair in your shoulders and back and those things you can tell her: well, if you want to we can go in to the shower and you can take care of those ;)

I use that all the time and it works, to have a girl naked in your shower takling care of you while shaving your back and stuff, it is funny, sensual and you can have sex in between!!!!! They will love that because is a non regular experience and... they will have you with not hair after that!

Cool isn't it?

Strangest thread of the year.

Anyway, here's some advise on shaving. If you get razor burn/ingrown hairs on your neck try a razor designed for black men. My dermatoligist suggested it and it works great.

Shave your toes if you get hair on them. It just looks better. Leave the legs alone. I have hairy legs (self-conciously so), but my girlfriend always comments on how nice my legs look so I leave the hair alone.

Buy a beard trimmer and use the guard for the main nether-region. Trim the sides without the guard. Get someone to keep you neck trimmed.

Sideburn trick: I have medium length sideburns (not past ears). To keep them looking good, shave in front on your cheeks. Stray hairs ruin the look. Sideburns look best if they are uniform looking.

Catcher in the Rye tip: Shave twice if you can stand it. Ladies love a smooth face.

[kuyu]

Err.. we don't have a huge black-dude population around Green Bay, and I've never heard of special razors for them. What brand would that be?

Just look for a razor with a black guy on the package. The razor has little guides just in front of the blade which don't shave quite to the skin. Thus, no spliced, curled, ingrown hairs.

[Cohiba]

Heres the deal:

Shave your face.
Dont shave you arms, ever.
Your legs if your a competition level swimmer or cyclist.
Keep the pubic region neat & tidy, women appreciate this, and will never frown upon it.
As for the rest (back, ass, etc...), your probably too young to worry about these areas, check back in oh 10 yr's or so.

hehe. have fun :D

You don't want to start down that path...

First we'll start talking about your choice of dating material, then that will undoubtedly lead to exactly what your sexual preferences are in bed.

Considering you age, you'd probably get several people in trouble with the conversations that would eventually lead to.

So it's probably best to avoid the subject. ;)
and im 15 ;)
Ah yes.

See that 10 foot pole over there? Gentlemen, I recommend not using it to touch this subject.

[kasei]

This has got to be the funniest thread I have seen on here yet!

:D

[rueyeet]

I wouldnt want to give oral with hairs in my teeth, im sure nobody else really wants to do the same.Yeah, any guy that will complain about you not being smooth as a porn diva when he doesn't take care of his own is NOT a keeper. A bit of hair down below on either gender can still be sexy, but a tangled thicket creates....logistical problems. (bit too late for a delicate ladylike cough, huh?)

About mymemory's shower gambit--only works if the lady in question doesn't find shaving your body hair as repugnant as she finds the hair itself. Of course, if you're hairy enough to need this trick, anyone that turned off by body hair isn't going to stick around anyway.

Other than that, unless people who see you naked shriek in horror and run away screaming about Sasquatches, it's all a matter of your own aesthetic and physical comfort. If you feel the need for letting the testosterone flow from your face in the form of a nice full beard, go for it....just remember that beards aren't nicknamed "flavor savers" for nothing when you go on that dinner date. Nothing's less attractive than your date being unaware of the food in his beard. *bleh*

Personally, I agree with vniow. Death to body hair! ...but, as in so many other things, that's probably just me. :p

I would like to thank most of the contributors to this thread for helping my supervisor figure out that I haven't been working for the last minutes due to my uncontrollable giggling.

AND that he stoood behind me reading a quote of Uber's hair/teeth comment. :D

and on a side note, i moonlight shooting videos for a friend, and all im gonna say is that some people should at least trim the Fro from Below... i mean, if it's longer than the biker guys beard... tis a little too much.

ATTENTION: Do not read this thread while stoned.

You will find yourself laughing uncontrollably at the ridiculousness of it all.

If you're hairy, don't shave yourself bald, but trim.

If you're not hairy, don't shave at all, because you will become hairy.

Keep it clean for the ladies, you don't want to be whacking through her bush, do you think she wants to cut her way through yours?

Did to me, too. I think they're larger than standard razors. I also understand that people who use them tend not to go back to their previous brand.

Ahhh... I await the tumbling sound of my post count falling as this thread gets Wastelanded....

[Bobcat37]

Haha... well, it's really hard to be "serious" in this topic, but I'll try.

The one thing people didn't really mention is toes/feet (actually one person mentioned toes). Personally I have waxed my toes and the top of my feet a few times and then let it slowly grow back before doing it again, you don't want to look like a Hobbit afterall :p

Besides that, personally I shave my face, occasionally trim under my arms, rarely trim my legs. Thankfully I'm not a super hairy guy...

And FYI, continued waxing over time does reduce growback, which is why if you have a hairy back or whatnot, it would be better to wax than shave as it will reduce the amount of hair that comes back over time. And no, I don't know this from personal experience, lol. I simply know it because my mother has waxed her legs for many many years and very little hair grows back on them anymore.

[jsw]

I use that all the time and it works.... They will love that because is a non regular experience and... You know, I'm not convinced what percentage of your "life" is in the same world I occupy and how much is in your head, but it seems like it'd be a weird but interesting one to be a fly on the wall around. Preferably a myopic fly - just able to see enough to get the gist of what's going on.

[krimson]

Hmmm. I think your job is better than mine.

im sure your job pays you real money.. ;)
the only time i get paid is when im working on the G5, since they've already paid me back for the gr-hd1 i got.

Just make sure you use one of the safety razors when shaving down below.

Accidents can and to happen with the straight razor. :eek:

[vniow]

Yea, shaving legs is definitely out... That's just creepy!

Why?

i'm amazed your fathers havent told you already
but
real men dont shave
they use nair

Ugh, that gave me rashes first time I tried it. I gave it one more shot before I trashed what left I had of it. It doesn't to that for everyone though, my skin's rather sensetive so that's a factor I beleive.

Really? You're supposed to shave above the knee? And what's this about waxing the crack? Owww.... Thoughts on these two ideas? I'm against both... :eek:

You're not supposed to shave/wax anywhere, no one's putting a gun to your head to make you hairless, you should do what you're comfortable with for yourself and not for other people's acceptance.

Do you know that 2/3 rds of the time a female spends in the shower is on shaving???

Yeah, which is why I only do mine every few weeks or so.

What are the bad effects of laser?


Its not permanent for one. That's why its technically called reduction rather than removal since it doesn't remove everything it touches. It will reduce it quite a bit but it won't get rid of anything entirely. Its also hard finding a good laser practitioner since the certification process is less stringent than electrolysis.

As for me, well, the sig speaks for itself. Fortunately I'm not very hairy at all so there's not that much to get rid of. My leg hair has diminished quite a bit over the past few months and it doesn't bother me so much that I don't feel I have to shave it on a daily basis, I really don't like my underarm hair at all and would gladly get it permenantly rid of it (among the rest of the hair I shave off on a regular basis) if I could afford it but razors are quite cheap and quite painless so that's what I use for now. Specificaly the new Mach 3 Turbo with the vibrating motor inside. It doesn't make a closer shave, just easier since it just slides along. Less cuts too than others. Its interchangeable with the Venus blades so its good for legs and stuff.

Just do what you think would make you comfortable.

[jsalzer]

OK - here's my advice. Shave the face unless you absolutely know (from a week of vacation) that you can have a decent-looking one.

Everything else - leave it for now. When you get a potential partner, shave or keep what he or she wants you to shave or keep. You don't have to look at yourself and find yourself attractive - they do.

As fer keeping food in your beard - I'm all for it. It gives your significant other an excuse to munch on it. ;)

[Neserk]

And FYI, continued waxing over time does reduce growback, which is why if you have a hairy back or whatnot,

removing hair (tweezing/waxing) does reduce growback (as you said) in certain areas of the body, not in others. I don't remember the whole list but I know the eyebrows will eventually not grow back... I started plucking mine when I was about 13-14 and by the time I was in my mid twenties I rarely had to do it... of course this was to prevent an uni-brow. I may someday go in to get them shaped (I have lots of eyebrows!) but right now 7 bucks every 2 weeks is too much...

[musicpyrite]

Ha! Shaving is for babies! I burned 2/3 of the hair of my left leg after I fell into a camp fire! :D

But it hurt. :(

My policy on shaving goes like so:
Shave your face.
Don't shave your legs and/or arms unless swimmer.
Trim your chest and/or back if you look like sasquatch.
Trim the goods only if they look like you have a rose bush growing out your pants.

This is the weirdest thread. :D :cool:

[Neserk]

Shave your toes if you get hair on them. It just looks better. Leave the legs alone. I have hairy legs (self-conciously so), but my girlfriend always comments on how nice my legs look so I leave the hair alone.

.


I love my husband's hairly legs/arms/feet/belly, etc... It is partially personal preference. He is a trimmer and convinced me it isn't perverted so we both trim now. It is much nicer :D

The itching is the worst (thankfully it decreases the more you shave/trim). You keep wanting to say, "I don't have a fungal infection. It just itches 'cause I shaved my pubes." But somehow that just doesn't sound a whole lot better.

Oh god, me too. Its my first time, like I mentioned, but seriously, its the same spikey feeling you get when you cut your hair short. Now the spikey bits of my pubes spikes the top side of Captain winky, and it itches a bit now. Lucky I don't wear tighty whities. Otherwise, my monkey would be rubbing against that sandpaper texture all day. I didn't even cut it that short! Its short, but there's still 3/4 of an inch! :(

And why are there so many pretty boys here who shave their legs? Unless you seriously got a bad case of the Robin Williams, I really don't think we need to start shaving legs. Some of this activity is borderline metrosexual. Metrosexuals are out, baby. Manly men are back (hopefully). :cool:

[blackfox]

seriously ridiculous thread...

about nose-hair plucking...DO NOT DO THIS. Doing so can cause you to have an anuerism (sp?)...the whole triangular region that constitutes the nose region is included, so theoretically popping zits can also trigger said anuerism...fwiw

As for my shaving habits, I am part-asian, so even approaching 30, I cannot even grow much facial hair...otherwise I have very little body hair.

As for men shaving their nether regions, I have heard conflicting opinions of this from women (random drunken conversations)...some say they approve of/like a neatly trimmed man, but others have said the hair actually performs a rather *valuable* (ahem) function, if you follow...(think about that for a bit)...so personally I trim a bit, but no more...stubble is not a practical thing, even if you can happily strut about in front of the mirror...

oh, I also shave a few stray hairs between my eyebrows, but it takes concerted maintainance after that...

[stubeeef]

This has turned into a interesting thread....

Having no hair on my chest at 21 and then over the following decade and more its just continued to grow. Now I'm married and all, its not that big a deal, but occasionally I have to trim areas other than my face. The neck is a pain, and you can never seem to get rid of it all. So someone mentioned nair and I have to say I'm a bit curious....anyone had any experience with this?

Maybe Nair only works for some and not others?

Laser would be a great solution - a co-worker actually lasered part of his face, now all he can grow is a gotee. I don't think I'd miss shaving everyday, but I have grown beards and gotees during the winter months (its amazing how much it keeps your face warm).

It will be pure hell for about 1-2 weeks. Just hope you don't get ingrown hairs because those suck the worst. I remember the first time I took a razor to my dong; I swore I'd never do it again. And use an electric beard trimmer next time. :o

Indeed. I mean, it's cool to get to know things about fellow members - makes it more of a community. But I've had friends I've known for over 20 years that I'd not discuss this stuff with. However, now I know - or at least have been informed - that a guy in Green Bay whom I've never even met is going to have stubble burn on his inner thighs. God, I love the internet. ;)

Yes. I know some who swear by it. I have dark thick hair. Until I can afford laser removal shaving is my only option. People with finer lighter hair usually have more success with Nair and other similar products.

Well, I wouldn't know... but I did talk to a lady who's husband got ingrown hairs and he is doing the laser thing. She is also having it done. So, at least now I know *where* do go...

[applemacdude]

I am experiencing what Kingsnapped is experiencing. Theres a lot of itching, really feels weird, anyways A REMINDER ! Shave with the grain not against!

[Sneeper]

My 2 cents on Nair and Nads. I've tried both (on my chest).

With nair, you spread it on and wait a few minutes while the cream burns your skin. Then you wipe it off. In my experience, 80 percent of your hair gets wiped off with it. You are left with 20% of your hair and inflamed angry skin. DO NOT use on your nether regions. Even your nipples will burn. For the 20% of the hair that was left over, I still had to shave it off. Which made Nair pointless for me.

With Nads, you spread some of the thick goop on your skin. your body heat softens the goop. Then you rip the goop off. unlike nads, no burning. but instead, the ripping sensation is a bit painful (like waxing). Like Nads, it didn't get all my hair.. So I had to shave to get the rest of it. Pointless.

Nair and Nads may be 100% effective for some people, but definitely doesn't work for me.

[web_god61]

anyone car to recomend a good shaver, electric or otherwise. Right now i use shick quatro and i swear that thing takes a slice of skin of my face every pass.

I use the Mach 3. The skin on my face gets inflamed very easily and I haven't had any problems w/the Mach 3.

Ever place else I just trim so I don't know how well the Mach 3 works on other body parts.

[Applexilef]

the more you shave, the thicker it grows back! ;)


That's actually untrue. It is only an impression of thickness, and it is due to the fact that it is shorter and therefore stiffer to the touch.

Think of it this way: Grab a pencil between your fingers and apply a certain force to snap it in half. Now, grab half of the pencil you just broke and try to break it again. You will notice that it will take more force to bend and even break the half-pencil you got in your hands. It is intuitive to think that just because it's stiffer it must be thicker.

Now, back to your topic. I recall reading that 19% of males (most likely "urban" and "suburban" males) shave their legs and chest. That's almost 1 out every 5 guys. I currently attend college in florida and it is not hard to spot a guy in shorts with shaved hair. Take a closer look when you are walking around campus or highschool or whatever.

Now, the ultimate decision on whether to shave or not is up to the person to which this topic is tacitly directed to please, that is, the girls. Some girls dig the masculinity of hair, some girls prefer the feel of skin. My roomate is on a fraternity and they once threw a Toga party, the dilemma was whether they should shave their chests or not. They didn't know whether the girls would think of them grossly because they were hairy, and they also didn't want to come forth as very "metrosexual" (for lack of a better word, no offense to anyone) for having their hair shaved. In the end, we split the frat 50/50 and we all got laid...

The lesson: Do whatever you want, or shall I say, do whatever your girl wants. (cuz otherwise we couldn't give a damn about this topic)

I only use the razor to shave my face. I don't shave anywhere else. I do however, keep all my hair trimmed.

Now, how do I know all this? Well, I'm 19 and I had those same questions when I was your age. I had to do my own little research to come up with what I think is the best answer for me. So don't shave, just keep it clean and trimmed.

Hope I helped a little bit, now I feel like I've passed some knowledge along...

The lesson: College girls are easy.

If you're not hairy, don't shave at all, because you will become hairy.

wow thanks for telling me now, i'm also kind of drunk and i had a bet involving 1000mg of caffine so i'm trying as hard as i can not to do somthing stupid

(the makes your wang look bigger comment cracked me up)

talking about wangs and how big they look when you say it looks bigger do you mean when it's up and running or when it's on cold turkey mode, or both.

i'm just wandering if it's worth the pain.

who's up for a how big is your wang thread? (joke)

personally i shave my face once every few weeks (i need to look old and badly shaven to get into places (i'm 15)) and my monobrow once a month.
i'd never shave my legs but my wang area needs some attention as it's a bit birds nesty and i have very wirey nether region hair.

i shave my face and i have some hair on my shoulders so i shave that too

i trim everything else; pubic, chest, ect ...

i asked some female friends about the pubic area and the most common answer i got was.

[Chip NoVaMac]

At first this thread bothered me in some ways. i think it had to do with the way those of us with body hair are looked upon. As "man-apes", the "missing-link", and the such.

And it bothers me most that that TV and Film look upon those that have excess body hair as less than perfect. People with "lots" of body hair those that provide comic relief.

I am what some describe as a "furball". I have given up trying to live up to expectations. With my head hairline, I gave in to the razor about 15 years ago (I am now 46). In terms of my everyday body hair, I say ****** them. I have more hair on my back than I do on my head. To those that are offended, sorry that you can't accept the differences that God gave us. To those that can appreciate a hairy chest and back, thank you.

Hopefully to keep this in the Community Forum, there is a time and place for shaving. Having know competition swimmers, a near total body shave has its pace, so does a competition bodybuilder. Yet there are some bodybuilder types that did not let hair stand in their way.

I guess where i am coming from is that one does not have to live up to some "photographic" ideal - whatever that maybe. I'll speak more from my "Gay" perspective. I have dated the "hardbodies", with no hair, to those that were "chubby" with a full "body-suit" of "fur". Each had their qualities. For me at least it matters what was in their heart, rather than what was on their bodies.

I had a lover that shaved my back very chance we had - that was his "perfect mate". Never mind the good times we had, he was looking for that "picture perfect" lover. this is different from the "close-clippings' that came close - which is whole different subject that others have talked about.

Now there are times like in one of the "Scary Movie" series that a trim might be best for all concerned. As there are times a "surgical shave" might be fun also.

I guess the end point is that we should be happy with what the Man upstairs gave us. Those that judge us because we don't have that "perfect treasure trail", or just "too" much hair on our shoulders or back are not worth worrying about - despite what the commercials may say.

Just got done watching some men's gymnastics and noticed that all the gymnists seem to shave their pits.

Although I guess if you are hanging from the rings and have a billion people staring at your pits, you are allowed to be self-conscious. :)

[crap freakboy]

hee think you have a problem chosing where to shave now when you only have a few areas of light fluff? Wait till your mid-20's onwards, you'll probably get hair everywhere, then mid-30's your nose hair will try and compete with your facial hair. Ear hair will probably be next. It's beyond me why men shave their torso, legs etc....vain big girls in my book.

Well some of us are stuck in a sort of hair limbo. For example, I have enough facial hair that I should shave on a daily basis (although I'm lazy and shave every other day) but it isn't thick enough to actually grow into a beard or anything like that (I look like a muskrat that got attacked by a weed eater when I try to grow out my facial hair). Similar situation on my back. I don't have hair all over my back, but I have it in patches and splotches here and there. IMO, it looks a lot worse than having a uniformly hairy back (I look like ***** Jeff Goldblum in the early stages of "The Fly"). And I'm pretty fair skinned w/dark hair so it stands out like a sore thumb. If I was blonde I probably wouldn't even worry about it. My chest hair only bugs me when it starts creeping up over the neck of my T-shirts. My standing rule is no chest hair above the collar bone. And trimming down below is just all around nicer. You wouldn't believe how much less you sweat when most of that hair is gone.

Why do we get so hung up on "excess" body hair? I am not talking about ear hair :eek: ; but I am sure are there are those that get off on it. But I am talking more about chest and back hair (we could talk about other body parts, but lets keep this a family discussion).

Is it that we are so shallow, that we are wanting people to go to great lengths to change what God gave us? Why should I take and feel as if I have to put a shirt on, only because i have a very nice "pelt"? It sickens me that men like me with back hair, balding, and/or "heavy" are the butt of jokes on sitcoms and in real life. Seldom -if ever- are these types "leading" men.

I hope Lethal understands were i am coming from as a Gay male, but chest hair coming over a t-shirt is sexy to me. Just as i find someone that is naturally smooth. More importantly I find what is in the brain and heart to matter more than what is on the outside. in my own case, when I shaved my body i did meet some very "desirable" partners. They were short lived, becuase IMO it based on the "look", not was deep inside. It was when I went "natural", that I met people that one found it attractive, but more importantly they were able to see the good inside me.

Oh god, me too. Its my first time, like I mentioned, but seriously, its the same spikey feeling you get when you cut your hair short. Now the spikey bits of my pubes spikes the top side of Captain winky, and it itches a bit now. Lucky I don't wear tighty whities. Otherwise, my monkey would be rubbing against that sandpaper texture all day. I didn't even cut it that short! Its short, but there's still 3/4 of an inch! :(

And why are there so many pretty boys here who shave their legs? Unless you seriously got a bad case of the Robin Williams, I really don't think we need to start shaving legs. Some of this activity is borderline metrosexual. Metrosexuals are out, baby. Manly men are back (hopefully). :cool:

Alright, for my own personal advice on shaving: you have nothing to worry about right now. Shave your facial hair, and that's it. Keep things trimmed if you need to, but at (y)our age, you don't really need to worry about it. I swim and play water polo, so I have to worry about shaving more, but your coach pretty much tells you want you need to do (at least at Wilson, one of the best waterpolo and swim schools you can go to in California).

It was in the first movie. I believe it was when Dr. Evil and his son are attending the support group for fathers and sons who don't communicate.


The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... very well, where do i begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

I'm changing my opinion that I expressed earlier in this thread:

Shave your face unless facial hair looks really good on you. Facial hair just makes kissing scratchy.

Shave your chest only if you find your chest hair to be uncomfortable. I tend to think hairy chests are sexier, but shaved chests are more functional :).

Shave your pubes if you want to look like a child ;). No, on second thought, don't shave your pubes. I like to trim mine pretty much as short as possible with a pair of scissors, which means that there is texture in the area, so it isn't uncomfortable and prickly while the hairs grow back like it is when you shave, and it doesn't look prepubescent.

Arm Pit Hair - Trim it if it's out of control. I like to trim mine every once in a while, mine gets a tiny bit out of control.

Leg Hair - Trim it if it's out of control. Or don't. Mine might be a tiny bit out of control on my upper legs but I don't trim it, it's too much work for me to bother with.

Head - shave it if you have a nicely shaped head :). I loooove shaved heads. Growl :).

If I may give a woman's opinion:

Shaved = mostly akward, hard to pull off.

Trimmed = Best option.

Running naturally wild = bleh!

As for age, if you are growing hair you are old enough to make a decision to shave/not shave. It is your body after all.
