Thread: Shave, wax or none of them

  1. #1

    Shave, wax or none of them

    Hi

    Maybe this has been discussed before.
    I am a noncompetitive BB in the past I usually waxed the upper body for hols and when I was on the peak of my cycles. Sometimes I just shaved when going to the beach or at summer.
    Seems though that now the trend seems to be "bear" like, I am not very hairy though, personally I like more the waxed look. Some say waxed/shaved is 90's look, maybe because this "lumbersexual" thing.

    I have a beard and don't shave or trim my body (except for the parts that count).

    Is high maintenance though, almost every couple of days, you have to trim again.

    Shave everything. Arms legs parts that count.

    Trick my wife taught me actually is using a woman's razor for body. 99% no razor burn or rash. Only happens when I go to fast.

    Hair is dirty....

    I hate shaving. I hate razorburn. That's the main reason I have a beard in the first place. If I shave my face, I swear I shave about 10 years off my looks. If I shave my body... well, I just don't think it would be a good thing.

    New razor every time - or waxing - but I've broken out from both - usually if razor is used more than once -

    Trimming is good - some get very close

    I'd love Laser romoval

    I guess I should've done more sessions,at least 10...but still,it's temporary,even if it works,after 3-4 years,hair will come out again.

    Being on hormones will make the hair more likely to reappear. I'd love to have my neck hair laser'd to a perfect line.....

    Conditioner and a woman's razor is Def the way to go.

    Man parts never have any issues. When I used to try Mach 3 or whatever it was always got razor burn.

    I have no chest hair really so never had to try that.

    Using a safety razor eliminates razor burn and pimples. Plus, it costs less the $10 dollars to shave for the entire year.

    I always use Wilkinson sword hydro 5 for shaving.I get pimples only on top of my chest,just under the neck area,nowhere else,and they are very itchy and they last for couple of days,until hair starts to grow.Now i just trim it,but i will give a try to this safety razor.

    I know exactly what you mean. Almost every guy gets post shave irritation in that area.

    Safety razors cut the hair off clean, its more like hair reduction than shaving. Whereas regular razors require force to cut hair. This results in the hair being cut below the surface of the skin leading to irritation.

    Marketing and greed are the only reasons people stopped using safety razors. After one week you'll never go back to a regular razor.

    ^^^ exactly truth. I had laser all around and seems after I game off last cycle I was fussier on legs especially. . Not happy about that.

    Need maintenance treatments even when not cycling.

    I luv not having to shave so it's worth it.

    Armpits smell more shaven than unshaven, hairs helps sweat to evaporate, thus reducing the smell.
