there must surely be someone out there who knows the deal with this
what i think i want:
no hair on chest and pubic region MAYBE no hair on underarms but not sure
what im not sure about/what im doing right now:
i used hair removal cream to get rid of everything. i did NOT remove hair around my ass, or my back. so balls, around front groin, chest, stomach, armpits
then i bought an electric hair trimmer thing and after a week trimmed the hair as it is growing back. the trimmer doesnt trim it very close at all, but i think that is alright? so i will look like i have very short hair all over me.
is this the correct procedure?
i COULD keep using hair removal cream (or god forbid waxing) , but this causes ingrown hairs/whatever and literally 200 spots appear over my body and last many many weeks everytime i use the cream (i only used it this time around because the hair was too long to trim unless i used scissor and took forever)
so , if you keep your bodyhair shaven or short or completely nonexistant, how do you go about doing this? (also do you shave your armpits or keep them shorter or just let them flow?)
thanks.
ps i am feeling a bit better today, i even managed to wake up and get out of bed and have a nice breakfast before work after which i didnt feel like a miserable wreck
pps there are websites that deal with this subject but it seems to be generic advice like "get waxed" or whatever that isnt useful to me
ppps i have used special anti-ingrown-hair cream before and its expensive and didnt do much
pppps here is a picture of me dressed as cloud from final fantasy seven

I shave my balls with a regular razor, the same I use for beard.
I suppose the cut is much more cleaner than an electric hair trimmer (could be wrong on that).
|
First, LOL
I use the trimmer to trim (not shave) pubic hair and armpit hair. Armpit hair is a little more tricky in my opinion, you don't want it too short that it gets all spiky and you get irritation on your skin.
I've never used any shaving cream or wax, seems like the wrong approach. Besides, why wouldn't you want a nice well-trimmed bush to top your proud monster?
|
I just use the same (non-electric) razor I use for facial hair for my chest and armpits, although I don't shave them regularly. As long as the hair is pretty short, I'm satisfied. For pubic area I've tried using that razor, and just on edges and balls, but I've noticed a fair number of red spots n stuff for lower abdomen area and of course you can't really shave your balls that evenly with a manual razor.
edit: @ opticalshot - you know what they say; trees look taller without any underbrush

Who exactly has a problem with your hair to make you confused about which parts you should remove and how long it is?
|
umm i wear my hair proud and dont give a shit :D
|
well its not very nice hair TBH and is a bit patchy , like i have very little hair on my arms but then a massive triangle from my belly, plus when its long it has a tendency to fall out and carpet everything which is just wrong
hrm i dont know if ive ever tried wet shaving my bodyhair (like i do my face). maybe i did and it caused ingrown hairs again like the cream does. thats why i want it short but not super duper short..
|
The thread title alone guaranteed that it would be awesome. Thank you, 5/5
Unless you're going trick 'n' treating as chuck norris, I wouldn't recommend body hair. To each his own, though.
|
i once used this piece of shit on my legs, mostly because i was bored
i can tell you the amount of pain and suffering was unbearable lol i'll never do it again ever! real torture.
|
Mind blown.... But yea for this kind of stuff I would ask chill.

Rofl,
Use something like this for everything. Easy, painless and you only got to do it every 3-4 days.

Some guys like feeling clean and having a refined body shape and look. Others prefer looking naturally manly. It's all personal preference :>

I use clippers with no guard or sometimes #1 for my armpits and pubic region every once in a while, it cuts it short but not so short that it gets prickly and itchy/irritated.
If your armpit hair isn't too long, just keep it. Just a little bit is good for keeping sweat off your shirt (sounds a bit weird, but it's a good idea to have some). I only trim mine because it'll get about 4 inches long really fast and my deodorant won't apply right
Be careful with your pubic area, it's really easy to nick yourself and it'll hurt for a while. I would strongly advise against using a facial razor (electric or non-electric) there as well.

If you don't use a facial razor the pubic area what do you use for trimming?

How is that disgusting? As long as you bathe at all and you clean your razor in between uses, there's nothing disgusting about it
|
Is this foreal? Guys have hair... Just use trimmers or w.e ... If you really are concerned with it you gotta go waxing every few weeks, but it's just hair bro. I really don't think creams to make you not grow hair are healthy in the least anyway.

I just.....don't shave.
I have rather hairy belly/chest and tried to shave it once, but fuck doing that ever again. I'd rather just have my nice soft "bat cave" as someone in highschool decided to was to be called.
Very strange combo of hair I have really.....Pretty much just very short facial hair that never grows very long so I just don't worry bout it. If there is some random super duper long hair chillin and I am able to see it in the mirror or something, I yank that bitch out. But really, I see no point in shaving. Just a stupid ritual modern society has pushed onto men, but I have no qualms with the females and their shaving.

It is disgusting for him because he knows what his hygiene looks like and that makes it disgusting. For other people it's normal, as other peoples balls are just as clean as their faces.
