question for the guys, do you shave your chest for the summer/warm weather?

kumate_champ07

im thinking about doing it so i can keep cooler and also for hygiene as i sweat alot during this weather. does it make a difference?


its not for 'vanity' because i dont usually take my top off in public

DrumSteve

just lower your testoterone levels and you'll be fine.

petes

Eh, no.

Dravokivich

if anything the hair is meant to help you sweat... thus cooling you down... in such weather...

on a side note, no i won't be shaving the ole chest...

- Drav!

Ruu_Old

No, I won't be doing that. Drink more water.

kumate_champ07

stovelid

Moreover, I plait it.

If I had anything on my chest to shave I would:(
Do hairy chests get warm? My headhair doesn't get warm?

Puddleduck

Urg, metrosexuals strike again!

Men are supposed to be hairy. Just go with it

Degsy

Shaved my head a few days ago and my owl one said i look like a convict.

kevmy

No

Why would you? I'd imagine the only thing you'd get is itchy

Any man who shaves/waxes his chest is not an actual man. ffs its far from hairless ladyboy chests this country was built.

Don't you dare! Hairy chests are there to be appreciated.

im too big to be a ladyboy.
its ok for men to be clean shaven tho. in the past a real man had to have some kind of facial hair.beards, porkchops, handlebars etc.

Porkpie

You wouldn't believe it but..........no

jacool

NO
I'd bet the autumnal "growback" would be a nightmare. You'd be scratching yourself like a fool and getting plenty funny looks !
Or else you'd have to shave it forever like a backwards Elton John - uugh !

And look at the state the country is in now!

like clockwork!

No. I have a perfect amount of chest hair. And no, that dosen't mean none!

Millie

I'd kill my boy if he shaved his lovely hairy chest.

Latchy

My hairy chest which I have had since I was 17 is here to stay

jigglywoo

Bleach it so that the hair will reflect the sun away from you and will keep you feeling cool.

Ladies - hairy chest = good

The back gets done, I've even waxed it before. (Feck my boots that really hurts:eek:)

Chest, belly, sack, crack etc stay just as god intended.

My OH has recently taken to defuzzing his chest, much to my annoyance. I loved playing with the little spattering decorating his pecs but now I've to suffer stubble.

On a side note, I hate full on chest rugs. Wax them.

I was in the garden when my topless housemate arrived out to enjoy the sun. He informed me that the hair was there to stop him burning. He has an impressive beer gut, it has to be said.

Who are we to argue with such wisdom. For that is what it is. Wisdom.

Do you find that you burn more easily though without the hair?

John Mason

McArmalite

Definetly wouldn't shave it meself.

Seraphicblue

good lord no....i'm inordinately proud of what i have
keeps me warm in winter and cool in summer (traps the cool water see)
plus, me da looks like a rug and be damned if i dont want to look like one too, i'm getting there

DenMan

Only if I had mango flavoured butter cream. Has to have a nice fragrance for me.

mink_man

no!!

Ronan|Raven

Jayzus no, I like the way it makes my beer belly look like a face.... also the hair keeps me shoulders cool.

battser

Im pretty sure that most blokes that do shave what MAKES THEM A MAN is actually more bent than a fiddlers elbow!

Summer? Warm weather? - what are you talking about

Max Power1

Errr no. Shaving anywhere other than facial area (and occasional trimming of pubic area) is for the wimmins.

chest hair is pubic hair

Max Power1

mayordenis

No I usually put on extra fake hair.

Tony255

I looked out my en-suite window the other day and the guy living next to us was lying on a deckchair PLUCKING his chest hair, now i find shaving it fruity enough but plucking it is going a bit too far.

Unfortunately some women go with it too...

Frankiestylee

That photo needs a warning. It's like chewbacca's kid sister or something. Ick.

If we lost our precious chest hair then how would Japanese girls know to adore us ? Hey, if it worked for James Bond who am I to question its validity!

tj-music.com

I am sooo hairy it would take me ages to get my hair off. I wouldn't shave it anyway as I think it is just a fashion thingy to not have hair.

g-whizz

question for some women too.
didn't read whole thread. sorry if i 'stole' this

KarmaGarda

I'd have to start shaving in winter to have it clean by summer. There's too many pints to be drank and bacon to be eatin to be arsed with that.
