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...

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.

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.

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.

then again...i know someone who gets his mom to wax his balls..*cringe*
OK.....thats just plain...ugh...Anyways...
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.

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?

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 )
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

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.
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.

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.
BTW: It really, really, REALLY HURT!!

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.

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.
