    Gentlemen, I've a sun holiday planned for March and currently resemble a Yeti. Kids call me Old Silverback etc. :eek:

    Can anyone recommend an establishment that will either wax or shave (preferably shave!) it all off for me?

    I have a bodyhair trimmer but the extent of the hair and location (my entire back is a carpet...) makes it pretty difficult to do for myself.

    I have access to Google btw, so I'd ideally like to hear from someone that's used a particular place!

    No particular advice but do you plan to keep it up? Apparently very itchy and uncomfortable growing back.

    You could try going to a beauty clinic for waxing?. It would keep the hair away for a few weeks.

    Shaving only lasts a couple of days.

    I get my back waxed in the same salon my wife goes too.

    Nothing they havnt seen before tbh.

    It stings when it's been done but it's only momentary, much more advisable than shaving tbh.

    Thanks Gents!
    It seems waxing may be the way to go. The missus has reluctantly shaved me once and the regrowth was a bit itchy. So I'll take a deep breath and try waxing.

    However the prospect of walking into a salon is daunting. Can anyone recommend a particular place?!

    Where are you based?

    I believe there are a couple of male specific salons in Dublin if you were feeling a bit daunted by going to a female oriented salon.

    If its just for the holiday you can use something like Nair. Get the missus to put it on, wait a few minutes and take of with the spatula thing.
    It will last the two weeks.
