Shavers

[Slowsol]

Alright boys I need your help. Tonight I got the bright idea that I may finally be in shape enough to shave my chest. So I said fuck it, took my hair trimmers and went to town. What I didn’t think about before starting was once the chest hair was gone where do I stop or blend it into the rest of my body lol Long story short, an hour later and I’ve done my whole body. While it did better than I expected, I know there are better tools for the job and better methods to attacking this problem. What is everybody’s grooming routine? Do you use a razor, some kind of trimmer, what? Give me the inside scoop

Blowtorch, clean and quick.

(I'm kidding btw, dear god please don't do that lol)

I’m considering a chemical product. Is nair still a thing? I’ve bought several trimmers, whatever you do, don’t go with the Freebird.

Nair....... Actually don't or be very careful with it because my ex had a bright idea to do that to my back.... Well I got chemically burned bad, bright red, when water or my shirt rubbed on it hurt for over a week... Bad time....

I used to use a Manscaped trimmer, but recently got a Philips OneBlade. I use that and then if I want to be baby smooth I’ll just shave after, but that’s a rare occurrence these days.

How often do you need to keep up with using the one blade to stay on top of things?

I didn’t have a sweater of hair or anything, but my chest and stomach had a good bit of hair. I’m pretty lucky that my back isn’t really bad at all, but we’ll see how long that lasts on test and mast lol surprisingly with the chest and stomach hair gone I’ve got quite a bit more definition in my chest and abs than I thought. Definitely motivating to see

Depends on how smooth you want to be.
I’m lazy with my chest and legs so usually once every other week for me.
I keep my arms baby smooth with a razor and that’s every other day just a quick pass in the shower.

Makes sense. It goes through two weeks of growth no problem?

oh yah, no problem.

I use the one blade. I used a razor on my arms when I was 22 and got razor bumps all over. Instead of looking “impressive”, I had girls giving me the ew face. Looked like I had a disease… I’m sure I know how to do a better job now, but I haven’t gotten up the courage to try in the following 22 years lol.

Looks like I’ll be checking out the one blade

Wahl (Whal?) electric shears. I’m a yeti but I use the #1 blade on my body, no blade just the shears on my head (what hair is left lol) and the wife’s pube razor on my nethers (she likes the way the boys feel when shaved, so who am I to argue? Even a small increase in the chance I’m getting laid is worth it)

Only started the body shaving once I got under 10% but the wife also likes that look on me (and gives me “that look” after she gets my back for me )

She keeps saying she’s gonna collect all the hair and have it sent out to be made into yarn and dyed and make hats and gloves

I have been both smooth as a baby's butt and (currently) hairy.
For stomach/chest I always just used a regular 5 blade and never had any issues. The upkeep is nearly daily though.
Now I let it all grow out and don't bother with it at all.
You can look into Foil shavers to replace the need for standard razors if you really keep the hair length at a minimum. Their advertised as head shavers but they do just fine on the body.
