Shaving with Big Arms

Phred · 03-08-2004, 04:04 PM

How do you guys with big arms shave? My arms are getting bigger and I am finding it difficult to apply shaving cream to my face. Let alone scratch my neck or turn down the collar of my shirts. My arms are 17-1/2 inches and I am wondering how in the heck I am going to shave if my arms get to 20 inches. I mean I cannot be the only one with this problem. I can always stop shaving (been there done that). Should I get a brush and start applying the shaving cream with it and attach a long handle to my razor?

I think that the 5 year study for this problem is not done yet.

Man, you must have some really short arms.

Phred · 03-08-2004, 05:47 PM

I figure if I keep going in 5 years I just may have 20-inch arms. However, I do have short arms. I am 5'7" and 210lbs with 26% BF. It is as if I am no longer flexable. I am finding it hard to reach around my back to loop my belt on my pants. I just wanted to know if this is a normal thing for folks getting bigger. I am by no means HUGE, and that is what I am trying to figure out; What do really HUGE guys do? How are they impacted when it comes to some of the simple things I now take for granted, that I may not be able to do in the future if I continue to grow? Button the collar on my shirts, wash the back of my neck, etc.

Loose some fat. That will help.

Phred · 03-08-2004, 07:35 PM

Will it? Does it matter if the arms are fat or muscle? I figured that the fat would be softer and allow more squish if you will than muscle.

I was at 35% BF and am down to 26% with a ways to go. I have actully gained weight (from 195 to 210), and lost 9% BF. So I am heading in the right direction. My goal is to be down to 15% BF in 6 months. I guess I will just have to see what it is like in 6 months. My short arms, my BF or both.

PreMier · 03-08-2004, 07:37 PM

Well, I really dont think it will help too much, but it will help some. I am 5'8" and 197Lbs. I have roughly 10%bf and it is hard for me to reach sometimes. Maybe try stretching, or a yoga class?

Phred · 03-08-2004, 07:43 PM

I have never been real limber even as a kid. you are prolly on the mark with more stretching and possibly yoga. I do not do any stretching. I will look into yoga. they actually have a group of folks at work who get together at noon for yoga once a week. way to easy. thanks for the input.

this is the MOST ludicris post I have ever read. Pal please, you think your arms are so big you can't even lift your hands to your face to shave, give me a break! Why don't you cut down your extremely high BF down to a normal range and you won't have to worry about that. Your arms will shrink significantly when you cut anyways.

gr81 be nice

or i will have to punish you

gr81 · 03-08-2004, 11:01 PM

I have a similar problem with something else being to big.

i have this problem,
but for me, erase arms, and insert:
****=dick
*****=balls

bro, you can't be serious. you're arms arent THAT big that you can't shave, come on now. mine are the same size and they look like kickstands.

I get my girlfriend to shave the parts I cant reach...thanks baby!!!

when she isnt around I actually do attach my razor to a contraption that I made to reach the hard-to-reach areas....maybe i can sell you one...$39.95 plus shipping and handling...lol

Mr.Attitude · 03-25-2004, 06:26 PM

Believe it or not, i can reach near enough all bodyparts with a razor (including whole of upper back)

	My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.
