    Shave or wax?

    okay so ive been debating for awhile whether to have my chest waxed or shave it?

    the down side to waxing is i heard it hurts like a bitch and a mate of min broke out in a rash, the bonous thing is it gets the hair out of the roots and keeps it gone for longer

    but what i fear about shaving is, does shaving actually make hair grow back quicker and thicker? i know it does on the face throiugh my own experience of shaving, but is it the same for the chest?

    Shaving wont make it grow back thicker, the difference is when the hair is pulled completely then it comes out a bit thinner but only at the tip, the main part of the hair is still the same thickness. Waxing does hurt like a bitch I gave it up. It only lasts about 6-7 days for me even when waxed which isnt worth it plus the rash plus getting in-grown hairs etc.

    Waxing hurts and shaving gets old so pick your poison so to speak. I know my chest hair looks way thicker than it did. Not the individual hairs but the amount. All the blonde hairs are now black.

    Nair for men is my new favorite way of shaving my chest. I dont get irritated from it at all. Just keep it off your nipples. I woke up the next day with scabbed nipples from being burnt

    It all depends on the person. If I get waxed my skin stays red for a week. If I shave I get razor burn between my pecs and the area around my belly button. What I do is use the hair groomer/buzzer to get it as short as possible. I then put alil shaving creme around my nipples and shave that area(never get nair on ur nips). Then I put nair for men on my stomach and chest. This works perfect for me. It gets the hair gone and no razor burn or redness. Everyone is diff. If you can get away with shaving and no razor burn or bumps just stick with that. Its the cheapest and easiest way. Other wise you ahve to see waht your skin can take

    I get red bumps on my chest after shaving however that is when the hair is growing back...just got to wear loose clothing so it doesn't rub. Never have gotten a wax before and at this present time don't plan on it. I also don't shave it till 3-4 weeks after shaving my chest to give it a break.

    If you can't find Nair for men you can just use the regular kind. If your skin is sensitive to Nair you can use the "sensitive skin" Nair. It works pretty good just not as strong as the regular stuff.

    I got nair for men at the good old trusty Kroger. They had it just randomly on a shelf kinda behind some stuff but it was there needless to say. If you have long thick hairs make sure you leave it on for awhile to help get them all. Also if you trim them down a little it helps to get you started that first time

    Just use an electric hair clipper. It is fast, and cuts pretty damn good. Otherwise you will go through 2-3 mach3 razors per shave..... or maybe that is just me lol
