You've a few options:
Live with it
Go back to shaving and try shave with a real razor like a cut-throat blade. It's quicker than a Mach 3 and wider so with practice you could perhaps get it down to a manageable investment of time.
Hair removal creams like Veet are supposedly great at big areas like the chest/back. I'd be fairly confident they are far too harsh to be using around the jewels though, so maybe use another method for those if that's what you're going for.
You could pay a professional to do the waxing for you? It's meant to last a few weeks at a time so maybe this would be the best non-permanent option for you.
Finally there's laser treatment and electrolysis. Both would be more expensive, especially the laser treatments. Electrolysis is time consuming since each individual hair is done separately so for your back/chest you're talking a serious investment in time and money. These two methods are permanent. There's a slight chance of growing back with laser but nothing like pre-treatment. They also give you the option to just thin out your body hair instead of removing it completely so you could try that to see if you like it before going for full removal.0 -

First of all, just from a woman's point of view: Most of us don't care about body hair on men, in fact I'd probably wager most of us prefer it to the smooth waxed look on men. I know I do anyway.
But if it's just a personal thing for you, I'd just say get it waxed. It's only sore for a second and the more often you get it done the less painful it is as the hair weakens. Plus it lasts way longer than shaving or using creams like Veet which contain chemicals that are really harsh on your skin and your skin only stays smooth a few days- waxing lasts a few weeks. Don't bother using a home waxing kit anymore, go to a salon- it's way less painful and more effective.
You can get really good deals on all those deal pages for laser though so do consider it- it's not really "permanent" as they require top-ups once or twice a year to remain effective, so don't be thinking that if you go for that option that it's forever.
Most important thing is that you're comfortable with the look you want... but I would definitely consider keeping the hair if I were you- just thinking of the ladies

Speaking as a dark haired woman who's often faced challenges regarding grooming in this area, the best advice I can offer is this:
Do NOT use Veet/Nair or any other form of delapatory hair removal cream on your nether regions. Sweet merciful Jesus, the stuff BURNS.
It's a chemical concoction that burns away the hair and is far too strong to be used on *ahem* more sensitive parts of one's anatomy regardless of gender. I speak from bitter, burning experience.
I agree with the posts advocating professional waxing in a salon. It only hurts for a wee bit and lasts much longer than shaving. I enjoy a smooth chest on a man myself but of course, waxing/grooming is a personal choice for all involved.
Also.. waxing... it makes certain things look bigger. Just sayin... :pac: 0
