Is it odd for a man to shave his whole body?

    I'm not really sure how to put this.

    But yeah, I am a pretty hairy guy all over on my legs, arms and chest.

    I was planning on waxing it all off but not sure how much it will help since it will grow back harder/longer, right?

    I play a-lot of sports and at the locker room/games it's a little awkward when you've got more hair then a werewolf.. You get the drift yeah?

    So anyway, what you guys think?

    If you know anyone in the Dublin area, do mention it.

    Thanks.

    I assume you mean when he's preparing for a sex change?
    Then no, that's fine

    As far as I'm concerned anything below the neck exluding the armpits is fair game to the razor. Seriously hairy myself, and although it looks gay, every girl says shaven legs look better gorilla legs.

    Sure all them Tour De France lads shave their legs and their the manliest bastards going.

    I shave my armpits but that's just because I hate the look of armpit hair.

    Shave it all off with a Mach 3, do it in the shower.

    It won't be itchy afterwards and the hair will hardly grow back. *





    *may not be true

    Pretend to wax it for charity , and then you raise some money to make someone else happy while feeling happy and you have the excuse it was for charity

    or grow a pair of hairless a balls and just do what makes you happy regardless

    Do not shave it!! Get it waxed, if you shave it all the hair will grow back thicker, waxing is the way forward!! Not a pleasant experience but it'll be much better in the long run!!

    I'm sure if you began to shave on a regular basis it would grow back stronger and faster - look at your face. Waxing sounds like the best option to me!

    P.S. this has just prompted me for another thread!

    I collect hair in the barbers and glue it to myself so I can look more like a werewolf.

    I'm sick of this anti-hairy fecker atmosphere that prevails in Ireland.

    I'M HERE, I'm HAIRY. GET USED TO IT!!

    Well I got different body parts waxed so I can only guess how sore it would be, I'd say your tummy will be the worst but its bareable (bearable??sp) & you'll feel like a new man afterwards!! :) The pain goes quite quickly as well, like it will only last a few seconds. Well it does for me anyway.

    As a woman I really think maybe just the chest and back is the way forward. A man with no hair at all isn't the best, but it's up to you in the long run :) do whatever makes you happy! (ps waxing hurts like hell! but it is the better option compared to shaving)
