Chest Hair - Yay or Nay

ulinbac

Well,

So been getting in to shape recently with a Personal Trainer. Its been going well and every few weeks we take body pics to assess progress. He said yesterday it's going well but that "I need to get rid of the hedge" on the chest to see the difference chest wise. He told me wax or laser it off.

What do you think of chest/stomach hair? Do you wax/shave or laser it off? If so why or if not would you consider it?

I have said no and the gf likes the chest hair but kind of thinking would be worth a try once anyway. FWIW the chest is not overly hairy but would have above average amount.

I shave it off every now and again with the clipper I use for my hair. It does the job just fine. It doesn't take that long to grow back to a decent level either.

Does that not leave uncomfortable stubble though like with beard?

OP laser is so expensive and requires like 5-12 sessions to get rid of chest hair. Most men now keep chest hair unlike 10 years ago. Most Americans just trim it with a clippers now rather than wax. It makes you look skinnier and more defined.

Woouldn't bother getting rid of my chest hair, too much hassle, each to their own though.

MugMugs

I'm quite find of my rug. Missus likes it too. Keeps me warm!

CiDeRmAn

I wouldn't know where to stop shaving, the fur starts at the top of my head and doesn't really stop until it gets to my feet!
Plus, who wants a chest like a teenager anyway?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i'd love some, if only to get pissed off at it

Liam McPoyle

I'm a hairy mofo too and if I was goin to get rid of my chest/stomach hair I'd would take a helluva lot of effort.

Feck that.

The missus loves it and every woman I've ever been with, without exception, has like it too, as Ciderman said above, who wants to look like a teenager with their shirt off?

Barna77

Hell no.

Sleepy

Not a chance.

Panthro

I'm keeping my Hasslehoff Rug come hell or high water!

KTRIC

F*ck no !! Women love it, it keeps you warm and its bloody itchy when it starts to grow back. I got a small section shaved for a tattoo last year and the itch from it growing back was worse than the tattoo healing.

D'Agger

Personally - I don't have a hairy chest but that's just genetics, there's a small bit there but I do shave it off using a trimmers when necessary, simply because imo, it looks out of place.

That said, if I had a large amount of chest hair, I don't know if I'd try to shave it - too much upkeep I'd say.

Legs.Eleven

Nothing sexier than chest hair. Nothing.


I had an ex who shaved his sometimes and it became all bristly like a brillo pad as a result.


Don't do it.

herisson

Dont shave it off.

I went out with a guy for a while, he always waxed his chest, it was awful to cuddle in to. Much prefer some bit of chest hair on a man.

beks101

Yay. Yay yay yay. That is all.

ongarboy

Stumbled across a youthful Alec Baldwin on a Knots Landing repeat on Sky the other night and was surprised at how hairy he was. I'm not sure you'd see any pretty boys these days on TV with hair on their chests as it seems to go against the metrosexual look. (think Beckham).

I'd say if it up to or similar to Baldwin's, it's fine. Any hairier, then a bit of trimming might be no harm.

Some guys suit them and some guys don't - I imagine if you've a very hairy chest then it would be a nuisance to get rid of and it would be like someone with a full head of hair trying to keep a completely smooth bald hairstyle.

Hairy back is a different story altogether though. :pac:

It looks grand. The gf likes it and so have previous exs. Its nothing like Baldwin. But ya hairy back is a def get rid off it I had one.

Legs,

Thats the fear. An itchy brillo pad like the face a day after shaving

Howard Juneau

Any guy that lasers his chest really wants to have a word with himself. If you're a little embarrassed about your monkey gene shining thru, perhaps trim a little
But, I'm quite proud of my apelike look, proper old silverback I am

thats a lie, you'll notice the difference

I'm conflicted about chest hair. On one hand, if it's soft and well conditioned (ie: Straight out of a shower), it's nice and snuggly and I have no qualms about it. But on the other hand, I can't stand it when the hair is all wirey and rough like a Brillo pad. Not nice pulling hairs out of my teeth when I'm trying to kiss a guy's chest. I suppose -in my opinion anyways- that a little bit of fuzz is fine but I'm not sold on massive bear-like fuzz.
Love a well-trimmed beard, though.

NoCrackHaving

I don't grow any chest hair at all :mad:

Forever And Ever

I've a full carpet, and has been said, never met a member of the opposite sex who didn't love it.

Tight shirt, buttoned down 2 or 3 buttons at a time - hearts breaking all over the gaff!

Tramps Like Us

I'm quite hairy. Considering I find shaving my face a chore, doing that much would be a pain, plus, were do I stop? Would be a bit weird with a hairless torso, then hairy legs!

I've had a hairy chest since I was a young teenager and while some girls would think it was a bit unusual they would still like it, not one has ever said anything bad about it and a couple really (reallly!) liked it.

OP, if you shave you will notice more definition, thats all.

It's not "chest hair"! It's the Rug Of Love...

I usually just trim my chest hair with an electric clippers. It keeps it short and neat but I still don't look like a young boy who can't grow chest hair. Shaving your chest completely with a razor is a pain in the arse anyway and too time-consuming.

Does that not give you sharpish stubble like on your face?

Not really, depends on how close you cut it. But yeah stubble on your chest can be annoying when it starts catching your shirt and stuff. I try not to cut that close.

Chattastrophe!

I love snuggling into a lovely hairy chest. Can't understand why any man would shave/wax it!

Call Me Jimmy

26 haven't got chest hair but if I did I can't imagine I would bother shaving it. Even if it was as low as 50/50 with women I'd take my chances.

Hairy back, if it was a thing I would try and do something about (as I'm relatively young) but I'd say I won't even give a **** about that when I'm older.

Daisy78

Hairy chests are a major turn on for me. Don't understand the appeal of baby smooth chests to be honest.

So my advice op is leave it be.

Forever And Ever

Hairy back looks well dodgy

I have a massively hairy arse.

Used to shave it when I was single but my girlfriend isn't bothered by it so now I dont bother!

Meangadh

OP that stuff the personal trainer is dating is such crap, sure how often would you even be going around with your top off showing off your "results" anyway? You'd notice someone is in good shape regardless of if they have a hairy chest or not.

My ex has a really hairy chest and always works out and it's obvious he's in good shape, no need to shave/wax etc.

And to me (and a lot of other women it seems) a hairy chest is far more attractive than a smooth chest. I don't really mind if someone is naturally quite smooth (i.e. Can't really grow hair) but that really obvious smooth waxed chest, bleugh. No thanks.

Candy_Girl

Yay!! I'm another fan of the hairy chest, don't shave it..you'll be itchy & scratchy:D

The Big Smoke

When I turned 27 in June, it was almost like evolution was doing a reverse back to the days when we were apes. Hairy as a mofo all of a sudden.

Forever And Ever

I've been to A and E a few times due to drunken excesses

Used to hate when the nurses would shave my chest with some scabby disposable razors to get the ECG heart sticker thingies to stay on.

Covered in patches when I was getting discharged

Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.

Chest hair is grand! The only time I shaved mine was for charity. I was so freaking cold for a while. Although saying that I trim it and keep it tame. Mostly around the nipples. Probably a bit too much info there. I apologise to anyone eating there dinner!

longfellow deeds

ok, think i'll let the bush grow back for a month or 2.
I,ve been clipping it for the last 3/4 years. I started with the back & shoulders, "she thought it might look nicer", before I knew it I was onto the chest and then....
anyway i've decided it's just too much hassle and Tom Selleck was always popular withe the ladies so... back to nature for me
