Well, not with a razor but used the clippers part on an electric shaver so got almost all of it. Decided to trim it up a bit and just went for broke. Not bad. Not quite as smelly there after a hard days work. I’m not going to keep cutting it but once it gets normal length again I might cut it back. Kind of like trimming the hedges. Anyway, just thought I would let you know.
My wife decided to mess with me once when she had scissors and started cutting funky ass lines in my chest hair. It looked so retarded, and I didn’t want to risk forgetting about it and having my homies see it or something, so later when I was showering I just started shaving it all off.
I felt like a damn 12 year old after that. It’s grown back completely . . . all long and gross again.
I don’t have rad bushy manly chest hair like Burt Reynolds or Paul Stanley or Tom Selleck. No, mine is thin and delicate and lies flat, but there’s a crapload of it and it really looks disgusting if it’s wet or sweaty.
So, yeah, in general I don’t really take off my shirt. Like ever.
I might try that shaved pits thing some day. I wonder what it would feel like outside, though. I’ve always liked the feel of the breeze blowing through my pit muffs when relaxing by the pool or beach or something. Don’t know what it would feel like all Chippendales style.
I shave my pits too. My pit hair can get a tad out of control length wise. I’ve shaved my chest a few times and I won’t ever do it again, unless the day does come when I decide to get in serious shape.

HAHA!!! Yeah, I think being in shape is a major factor on chest shaving. I’m a damn train wreck of physicality, so the out of control pectoral pubes are not really out of place considering I have no muscle tone and a protruding gut. I just look like an unhealthy dirtbag who really doesn’t give a crap.
But shaved . . . . I look like one of those starving African kids with the flies and pot bellies was dropped in a vat of Clorox bleach.
I think dudes who shave are secret butt pumpers.
I have a decent amount of body hair. Nothing crazy, but enough. I never shave jack! Maybe trim the pubes now and then, that’s about as far as I’ll go.
Also girls who can’t handle the fur are weak, and natural selection is coming for you.
Yeah, those pit dingleberries are lame. I feel ya, Dawg!
I used to do that. Had an ex who liked it. But she’s gone so I stopped.
Still trim 'em with the beard trimmer though. I find that much hair growing out of any part of my body below the neck kind of gross.

I think this is more or less the same rationale behind the explosion in ‘mountain man’ beards on hipsters weighing in at 130 lbs. or so. Although, given the interests of that culture, it’s just as likely due to ‘ironic appropriation’ as it is to self-consciousness about not looking rugged and manly enough.
Being no more than a ‘super middleweight’ myself in boxing weight classes, I’m not really one to point fingers, though the hipster beards do puzzle me. A lot of these kids are not hirsute otherwise but have fully developed beards…is there some kind of Beard Club for Hispters secret formula that you can mail-order, or what?
How long does it take for a normal face to have a beard. No, I don’t mean some wild ass lumberjack hipster beard, but just any beard, close and short, even.
I have not gone more than a few days without shaving in many many years, but I’ve never really been able to grow proper facial hair. I grow filth on my face quite quickly. I just don’t know if it would actually turn into a beard. I’ve often thought of letting it go for a week or so on some extended vacation, but I can’t see my wife ever permitting such an abomination so it stays in the unsolved mysteries file.
If you can make it past the itchy period - then, and only then, are you a man.
Break it down, Rev! Give me a timeline!

About a week in you’ll start to itch and want to shave it all off. Push on, brother. Two weeks later and you’ll be a fully bearded man.
Now, that said, I can’t guarantee a high quality beard. That’s all genetics.
Ever had your back waxed? The discomfort’s not so bad…but it’s not worth the $$. Everything seemed back to normal in about a month.
I’ve had a beard since I was 18ish. Or at the very least, a goatee. Been a full beard for years now though…
I shaved it off once for shits and giggles and my wife and son both looked at me and said “Never do that again”.
Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing really…
I’ve been trying for years to do a full on beard. Like Phil Anselmo when he really wants to. But my wife insists I have to keep it semi decent.
Very upsetting…

I got mine done for free, but certainly not worth the time and effort to break out in hives…
Ever had your back waxed?
Yes. And it’s akin to giving birth. Not that I’ve ever given birth however.
Takes about 6 or 7 weeks before it needs to be done again.
Hurts way less when yr in shape and there’s not much excess body fat. I’ve had the “love handles” region waxed and it fucken stings when I’m a bit chubby.
So if yr thinking of getting it done, get in shape first.
Nowadays I use a body groomer and shave off all my body hair…except my pubes which, to be honest, REALLY need a trim right now.
Time to end this thread… and fast.
While I do agree with you (especially now that Peligro has decided to return to talk about his love handles), you shouldn’t have started it.
LET THE HAIRY CHAOS RESUME!!!
Time to end this thread… and fast.
This…
Vomits…
I’m thankful I don’t have enough back hair to ever need to wax it.
That said, I’m nearly 40 and my ear and nostril hair is out of control.
I’ve been shaving my pits for many years. I’m not sure why I ever started, other than that I just think armpit hair is disgusting. It takes me approximately 15 seconds a week in the shower.
