I don't like a lot of bodyhair...I think it's pretty ugly. And since it's summer, I like even less body hair. And my wife is pretty fond of the hairlessness so long as I don't have shorter hair than her on my legs and arms.

For legs and arms, I just take the electric razor and put it on the shortest guard and go to town. This works well.

I take a razor to my arm pits. This works well. Wife loves this. Much less sweat accumulates, much less smell, and who likes under arm hair anyway.


Now comes the irritating part. I�ve tried Nair for men and Veet. Veet works okay on the stomach, back, and private areas. However, it leaves my chest very pr ickly. Being pr ickly defeats the purpose because who wants to hold someone close when you�re getting massive razor burn. And veet and Nair for men break my chest and glutes out. If this is for aesthetic purposes, being broken out is ruining this appeal.

I saw an infomercial on Depilsilk�has anyone tried it. Anyone have any other products that I might try? Is there a special cream or after shave I should be using to prevent break outs?

Soooo�gotta avoid breakouts and that stupid stuble on the chest.

And no I�m not waxing, that hurts.

Are you sure? I can imagine how much meaner I could be if I was angry with the person I was defoliating.

I wax Flick's shoulder blades, pits (in summer) and occasionally that fuzzy bit on the male belly.
Yeah it hurts a bit for like 10 seconds, then 5-8 weeks of smooth hairlessness. Rashes are so not sexy. Ditch the creams, all those chemicals are not good for you anyway.

From a mother of swimmers:

Sorry, but shaving is the best way.

Too high maintenence and the stubble comes in too quickly. Maybe I'll just man up and go for waxing.
