Tan & Shave Anyone?

Just looking through the “Rate my physique” forum and saw a few comments that some of the guys should get a tan and shave their body hair.

I would like to know the best methods to Tan & Shave.

Tan - well it’s not exactly sunny

Shave - Ingrowing hairs, itchy, bristles, argh!!!

So how?

High intensity bed once a week for 20 minutes and Nair for Men (grey/blue bottle), problem solved.

Nair sounds ok. Not sure about the tanning salon though! I’d be sneaking in with my hood up making sure none of my mates see me!

I might just stay hairy’ish and pale until the sun comes I think…

It all seems just a little too vain to me.

We don’t like it much this side of the pond, do we?

I recently started tanning, and do two short sessions a week after two of my workouts. It’s stopped me having that typical british pale skin and actually makes me look better and give me more confidence. I’m brown haired, but have the skin of a ginger person, so I had to be careful to begin with, but it’s cool now, and If you didn’t know me before you’d think my skin was normal. Just gets away from that pasty look we closet gingers have.

Don’t shave. Wax.

My husband recently started shaving his body hair and if he goes a day or two without shaving it is prickly and it’s like cuddling with a porcupine.

Either have it done for you or use Nair body wax strips. They work great and are very easy to use.

And I don’t want any whining about how much waxing hurts. Suck it up, it’s not that bad.

just shave once a week. Takes less time then waxing and last about just as long. just make sure you scrub the shit out of your skin after and you wont chafe and there will be less ingrowns.

Men were meant to be hairy.

I make an effort to get some sun whenever I can, but I do not sit around sun bathing. I would never be caught dead in a tanning salon.

You don’t have to outright shave, but clippers set to a short length can keep it at bay. No ingrowns, less prickly feeling since the hairs are long enough to bend.

yeah clippers on shortest setting ftw.

legs take a while to do but it feels better and cleaner

Has anyone tried veet? its like nair, but in my experience it works better. You can get it in 3 min. or 5 min. and there are different kinds for more sensitive skin and stuff.

As far as the tanning goes, get over it and go to the salon if you dont work outside. I worked at a gym for over a year, and there were just as many guys that used the tanning beds as women. Chances are, your boys are tanning, and not telling you.
