Shaving Body hair

[Rocco32]

Hey everybody,
This may be the wrong place for this question, but those that shave body hair, how do you do it? Do you use creams, or do you shave it off. It takes me forever to completely shave just my chest and arms, and it grows back so fast. Let me know what everybody else does.

I wounder why didn't anyone reply!!

 

[Rocco32]

Gotta give it time Nectron. It's the weekend.

Shaving is the easiest. Yeah it may take a while. Alot of times it is easy to touch up with an electric razor everyday!

 

[Mudge]

Might want to camp out for opinions, a few people have issues with ingrown hairs.

u might get more responses if this thread weren't in the TRAINING forum

 

[Rocco32]

Why don't you try a suggestion of where it should be (since I expressed my concern about that) instead of stating the obvious oaktownboy!

 

[Mudge]

Yeah, I really dont know where I'd put this either If it were in Sexual Health maybe not everyone would see it, yada yada.

Try open chat.....
I've always had my chest waxed, (you at least get a few weeks with no hair) but yes ingrowns are a big problem!! I've heard that the growth rate is supposed to slow down, but i've only seen that in a very minor way.
My mate keeps his hair short by using clipers, i guess the spikeyness dosent bother him or his missus?
Creams are shit!! At least the ones i've tried......
I was just thinkin last night... why cant they come up with something decent that stops hair growth????

 

[nectron101]

Yea, I've always thought about hair growth elimenation..
But it seems that doctors want to swim in money pools by tricking idiots with thier lasers n' shit...
Lasers don't work even with light hair, it doesn't even work with girls' hair.

Is leaving hair removal sprays for too long time harmful for the skin??
my hair is so thick that even sprays dont take it off completly, sould I leave the spray for a longer time??

 

[ZECH]

I've used nair on legs for 7 or 8 minutes and it works fine.

I shave everything with a razor, usually I take a bath on Sundays and do an entire body shave, I feel like such a bitch when I do it!

 

[Larva]

i tried mostly everthing, epilstop spray sucked also nair mens/women didn't work good enough it left short hairs. I shave in the shower. I never used gel or cream but thats just me. Also if your hair is long i suggest using clippers first then a razar for a close shave, its quicker. But watch out for irration if you have sensitive skin. About it growing back fast, just something you have to deal with. But waxing takes longer to grow in, never tried it. hope this helps.

 

[Rocco32]

Thanks for the advice Larva. I guess I'll just have to try different things and see what works best. Good tip on using the clippers first!! I'll definately do that.

 

[Larva]

no prob and watch out for your nipples i cut them once and it stung like a B-ch

 

[mrguy]

I bought a Remington TC3 electric shaver. Best investment I ever made. It has a clipper feature that is good for the longer hair.

Sure, you have to shave it everyday or every other day, but it only takes 5 or 10 minutes with an electric and I do not get any redmarks or irriation from it.

You need to try a few things and see what works for you.

 

[Rocco32]

How close do you get with that?

 

[mrguy]

Smooth as a babies butt, if done right!

Keep some extra screens on hand because they do wear out about every 3 or four months. Usually one at a time.

After trying creams, razors, this method seemed to work the best for my skin.

My wife quite calling me Mr Red Bumps!!!

 

[Rocco32]

Where did you buy it from?

 

[mrguy]

I found the cheapest was at Walmart.

I've seen it at Target and stores like that. I think they renamed it to Titanium 3. It's the only remington that has 3 screens and a shaver.

It will run you about 70.00. Not cheap, but is lasts forever and is a small price to pay for no more irritating skin.

I just take a razor and shave.....no creams, nothing fancy.....just stand there under the shower and shave.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Nair. Might want to look into lasers.

Why's that? I usually want to do it and get it over with ASAP.

Ive tryed shaving a few times without relaxing and letting my skin loosen up I get razor burn and ingrown hairs eventually and shit. Guess its just me though.

 

[Rocco32]

Do you go against the hair or with it?

Mach 3 turbo against. In some spots you kinda gotta go with though too.

 

[Rocco32]

I always go with. Going against gives me rash and ingrown hair.
