Do you shave...

[Payman]

...places other than your face? I don't. I mean, I did, but the chaffing sucked. I do trim regularly, and I'm thinking about getting one of those newfangled back razors. It's the one area I'm self-conscious about. I look like a 'rangatang at the beach. 

[J86]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no!

[the Teuton]

I'm not sure this is appropriate conversation.

I'm not sure this is appropriate conversation.

We did it before. And it became a C&D classic!

I'll probably go more in-depth as the conversation allows, but I'm not a hairy person, but the darker-skinned people in the family are (of which I am one).  That being said, I have one thick patch about 4 inches wide on my back -- nowhere else back there in particular -- that looks pretty wicked.

I just shaved it off the other night.  When I wear a backpack, it does itch.  So I was justified.

I trim downstairs every once in awhile, just in case I get some random ass--no one should be subjected to that forest in all its glory.


Anything else--not really, although I do rip out hairs I see marching up my arms and shoulders. So far I'm pretty smooth out back, but if my dad is any indication, that won't last forever.

When I get back to the US I plan on getting electrolysis done on my back and some on my chest.  I want to head to some beaches without being self conscious, and I want to look good for my girl.

[SVT666]

Nope.  Though my wife does yank out the odd stray hair in my eyebrows.

Real men have hairy chests...and stomachs...and backs.

[Onslaught]

........... I try to keep the forest down in some areas.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Nope!

[NomisR]

I tried once, but once growth comes back, it's really uncomfortable.. so I stopped.

[MrH]

High and tight baby.  For the ladies.

But I shave the chest every few weeks too.  I'm not a hairy guy what so ever, but I have a tiny batch of blonde chest hair, and it just looks ridiculous there by itself.

[Rupert]

Haha, bunch of pansies...

[redbloodedamerican]

I have the misfortune of being hairy and having a really skinny body, it looks ridiculous. I try to keep my chest shaved and my armpits trimmed. If I were taller/bigger I probably wouldn't bother.

[Lebowski]

I trim most of my body hair.  I'm pretty hairy, and for some reason I just don't like body hair.  I also think it's cleaner.

[S204STi]

I keep a certain area trimmed for cleanliness and comfort, but I can't shave it... too much irritation.

When I raced XC bikes I shaved my legs.

[S204STi]

lol awesome discussion.

[dazzleman]

I only shave my face.

Remember, don't shave your ass hair... (http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lax/35274458.html)

I knew that link was coming!

It's a rite of passage for the new generation!

I did not get that memo...

lol that was a great read.

Tried once. Never again. Only trim.

That whole "grows back thicker" thing is a myth, if that's how you got burned.

[Tave]

Stubble down there doesn't feel good.

[J86]

so why make it stubble in the first place?!

[Payman]

Tried shaving cream down there once. One thing that should never, ever touch your scrotum, is shaving cream.
