It very hygienic to do so

If it's hygenic to shave your body, then presumably it's hygenic to shave your head too? And eyebrows?

I'm not sure how far one could go - it seems to be a case of diminishing returns. Dirt always tends to get caught under my fingernails over time - should I remove them too? ;)

Maybe your skin too. I don't know see how far you can get, make a night of it.
 
I'll take the word of couple-million years evolution over yours, no offense.

Umm, what's with the millions of years? It has been scientifically proven many times that the universe is only about 6,000 years old.

Anyways, back to the point, shaving.

Umm, it depends on how I feel. Never shaved legs, or armpits, but it doesn't mean that I am opposed to it. For what it's worth though, once I get married, I will let my wife decide what she likes.
 
I do and I shave everything below the neck (that means legs, arms, chest, private area, etc). It very hygienic to do so and I do not care if somebody is going to say something bad about it or not. I exercise a lot too (running and walking a lot) so shaving helps there too. I also feel more comfortable when fully shaved "below the neck".

Is any one doing this too or am I the only one?

wow

no offense but i dont understand this at all. why do some guys insist on looking like little boys? thats how i see it when you shave yourself completely

i only shave my face and even then when i dont have something important going on, ill even let that go lol

I shave the following:

Head
Chest
Face and neck
Upper arm area, but not forearm
The "twins", down there. ;)

I also trim the pubic area.

It's so much more comfortable. I feel cleaner and it keeps my body temp down. I'm a gym rat too, so it definitely helps with keeping cooler.

It's simply a preference, honestly. I know I feel more comfortable shaving the things I do.
 
This is something I would never consider doing. I can understand a male competitive swimmer doing it for areodynamic reasons. For me this ranks right up there with men who where earrings and people who feel the need to pierce their tongue, nose, nipple... whatever... and put a piece of metal in there. I just don't get it. But it's a free country and you can do what you want... just don't date my daughter.
 
Ouch. Blade or electric? I cringe at how that must feel. Then again, I get kind of testy when it concerns anything sharp going near that most sensitive place.

Blade. Actually, it's pretty quick and easy. It only takes about a minute. It's funny, it seems to me that the most delicate skin is on the face. Nowhere else do I ever seem to have a problem with cuts or anything.
 
I like guys with a lil hair on their chest and stomach.:D

Mmmmmmm... Jake Gyllenhaal.

Probably because it's the only(?) area you shave daily. Stop shaving your face for a day or two, and it'll be much easier/more comfortable. Or conversely, try shaving everything else every single day, and see how quick 'n' easy it is then! :p
