After having several gfs who preferred hairless guys, I shave my chest, arms, legs, and trim my private area. This typically is not a good idea if you aren’t somewhat in shape. Go get the Norelco BG2020 men’s groomer, I just got it, it’s much faster for me than using a razor, impossible to nick yourself, and shaves almost as close. I’m not sure how the ad execs got this apporved by Philips, but it’s hilarious-make sure you navigate through the whole site [http://www.shaveeverywhere.com/](http://www.shaveeverywhere.com/) ---

I got my leg shaved by a nurse - expertly done. The stubble grew back while it was in a cast though. Drove me nuts. ---

I was thinking,“What I wimp!” as I was shaving this morning, when all of a sudden I noticed the hair in my nostrils were getting a bit long and i decided to trim them. But, no i couldn’t find any decent scissors- the pinking shears wouldn’t do. So I decided, as a whim to pluck them, since I did find a pair of tweezers. God did it hurt, but after the fifth or six pluck, I decided to “Go fo’ broke”. I don’t remember the last time no blowholes were \*so \* naked!! Today, I contemplate doing my ears and brows!! :eek: ---

I depile regularly on my chest - otherwise I’d have a gorilla torso and that’s _ **uncomfortable** _ in Florida, not to mention the chafing when running. Lately though, I’ve noticed that the top of my chest and bottom of my neck sort of merge and the hairs are much closer to each other in appearance and thickness than to the main part of my chest. Which isn’t bad, it’s all gonna go. Till I looked at my arms and realized I had the same scraggly, dark hairs starting to creep down there too! Oh noes! ---

**Follow-up:** Sweet Jeebus on a bicycle built for two! No one told me about this! If it’s really, really cold outside… and you have leg hair stubble just starting… when you go outside and get gooseflesh… YEEEEEAGH! It itches! It itches and was all stingy and weird! It felt like my skin got really tight and teensy weensy prickles started popping out! How do I make it stop! (Now my legs are burning from mad scratching + moisturizer.)
