I’ve never met a 20 year old as hairy as me, but I don’t do well with hair removal. I nair my back but it comes back covered in ingrown hairs, but to me it beats backne. Has any other cro-magnon had a back wax that went well?
I wax every 6 weeks. In my opinion, I see my muscles that much better and since I’m into bodybuilding, isn’t that the point - to maximize your muscles? I feel more motivated when I see the results of my efforts, rather than covered up by significant hair.
I just wax my chest. I leave everything else (arms, legs) alone, in terms of hair growth. Waxing is painful, but I’m just used to it. Shaving is too irritating and the hair just comes back coarser
When I compete or go on a cutting phase, I will remove all hair to see the results. After cutting, then I allow the hair to regrow except for the chest.
Anyone ever use an elipator? I use one on my back hair.
Man there’s alot of vitriol in this thread.
To those of you who shave: doesn’t it take a lot of time to shave your legs, chest, back, armpits etc.? I mean, I resent the fact that I have to take 2-3 minutes out of each day just to shave my face. I can’t imagine how much time it must take to shave your whole body. And then if you don’t shave every few days, I’d imagine it starts to itch. So you’re kind of obligated to shave your whole body every few days.
And what about razor burn?
Personally, I can’t imagine it’d be worth it to shave anything except your back, and luckily I have no back hair. But if I did have back hair, I’d totally wear a wife-beater and gold chain, just like Carl in ATHF. He’s my hero.
lol that’s what I’m sayin I don’t think I could ever shave…most of the time I have a beard cause I’m lazy to shave my face.
To the guy who said being brought up you’d get shit for waxing or shaving…
I’m actually the exact same way…but now that I’m older…like I’ve got a pretty good body but I know the hair doesn’t help and especially it’s summer and you go out swimming and I come out of the water…and all the hair is wet and shit haha just doens’t go as well you know.
When I was young I wanted to be hairy to…well fuck I got a lot more than I wanted.
Besides I already had a moustache in the 8th grade!!! believe it or not!
My leg hair (lower) has grown so much haha it’s ridicilous. My upper legs aren’t too bad which is surprising
My chest for a 19 year old, resembles someone much into their 30’s and now my stomach is really startin to take off…every month i see a difference lol.
My back doesn’t have hair…but it’s there and I know that too is growing.
I definately won’t shave…and waxing fuck, I might have to give it a try MAYBE but I know a girl who’s really good at it and always wanted to wax my chest haha so thats good for me.
Oh… come on… you guys are just apes 
I have almost zero hair, only a little bit on the chest.
im super unhairy…im 19 and i still can’t grow actual facial hair, there is no visible hair on my chest or back, ive seen lots of girls with more hairy arms then mine. I only have to shave my face once every 3 weeks before it starts getting noticable…of course this probably mostly because i have fairly light blond hair, but i do enjoy not having to shave every day like a lot of people
im jealous…seriously lol

I don’t like hair on my shoulders or upper back so I shave it. I don’t like long hairs on my chest so I buzz them down. Guys that have a problem with other dudes shaving their body might be homo’s who secretly desire a “bear”.
There’s also a big difference between a guy with a little chest hair and a dude who looks like he’s wearing a gorilla suit. I doubt many women find the latter attractive.

That reminds me of this:
Dennis: Some gay guys are twinks, and others are bears. This gay guy’s a bear. By the way we’re totally cool with that. To each his own.
Frank: Wait, I’m a little confused here. What’s a twink?
Dennis: A twink is small and slender, like Mac.
Mac: Oh no, I’m too muscular, I would be a bear.
Dennis: Ohh don’t think so bro. Not hairy enough.
Frank: Smooth. I would be a bear.
Dennis: No no, see I don’t think you’d be a bear either. As a matter of fact I don’t know what you would be because you’re definitely not a twink.
Frank: I’d be a top, that’s for sure.
Mac: Can a twink be a top, or is that reserved for bears?
Dennis: I’m sure there’s a great deal of switching back and forth, but I think more often than not bears are tops, unless they happen to be power bottoms.
Frank: What’s a power bottom?
Mac: A power bottom is a bottom that is capable of receiving an enormous amount of power.
Dennis: Actually Mac, you got it backwards. See a power bottom’s actually generating all the power by doing most of the work.
Frank: Does the power have to do with the size or the strength of the bottom?
Mac: Now Dennis, I’ve heard that speed has something to do with it.
Dennis: Speed has everything to do with it. You see the speed of the bottom informs the top how much pressure he’s supposed to apply. Speed’s the name of the game. Right buddy?

I use my beard trimmer like I said earlier and go over the area first. The legs take FOREVER but with arms it takes like 3-4 minutes, once that’s done there is only like 1 cm of hair left. I just lather up with shaving cream and just do long strokes from my elbow to my hand. It takes about 10 minutes to shave my arms. I only do it once a week so it isn’t a big deal.
i shaved me entire pubic region once. looked MUCH bigger (so now its an outie). My ex loved it. I felt like I was in a porn all the time.
Hair regrowth sucked tho… worst kind of chaffing. and your balls stick to you a lot
If you are a shaggy bastard then I think you kinda have to wax or shave. But if you have a little then its probably ok.
i can’t even bother shaving my face ever day let alone any other part of my body, lucky for me im not that hairy, besides a bit on my legs i really don’t give a shit either

shh… its a secret…
I have friends who are convinced shaving their body hair is more hygienic…
I trim with scissors because some places really outgrows others… If I had an even coat like Tom Selleck I’d leave it as is.

I’ve considered it. Which one do you use?

Well, I rotate what I shave – my back Monday & Friday
morning, chest and stomach Tuesday & Saturday morning, trim
the rest (legs, arms, beard) real short on Thursday. It doesn’t
add more than a few minutes to getting ready for work each day.
Yeah, that really sucks. Basically, I’ve figured out that there
are certain areas (chest for me) that you only get one pass of the razer on. The razer must be new and you shave with the grain in the problem areas. Scrub the area beforehand to rid the surface of dead skin, dirt, etc. Use a good low-friction brand of shaving cream. Rinse the razer frequently. Wash the soap and stubble residue off with warm water, then follow up with cool water. Pat dry. Apply some aloe vera lotion to help your skin recover.
It sounds a whole lot more envolved than it is, but it only adds a few minutes to the shower each morning if you space it out during the week.

Laser hair removal.
Then trim certain areas.
Shave as needed.
