I have been shaving for about 1 1/2 years, usinga triple edge bladeand shampoo conditioner. Initially you may experience some red bumps and itching but be persistent, your skin gets conditioned to shaving.
Now I'm like the rest of the smoothies i shave about every 2-3 days, and the good part is my wife enjoys me being clean shaven. Personallyit makes me feel more naked......if that's possible.
For me, there's merely the opposit desire that would go with geneital jewlery.
Rather than draw attention by appearing to be wearing a hair speedo, OR the reverse, appearing to be wearing a nude speedo in the midst of an otherwise lightly haired body, I trim enough to "blend in" and lose contrast. ( I think, I hope )
Tried a little shave once, and got ingrown hairs. Not good.
Don't mind the appearance of razor stubble on others, or on myself, but definitely do not like the feeling of razor stubble, especially on a partner, and assume they would feel the same.
Beards, mustaches, ear rings, necklaces, hair styles, all are intended to "frame" and contrast, thereby drawing attention to the face.
For me, I merely wish to remove that framing and contrast in other areas.
If that happens to afford a better view, and make Paige happy, I have no objection to being considered eye candy for the women.
"Natural" doesn't always appear natural, so there can be no absolute either way, IMHO. ( though completely smooth appears more and more normal the places I've been )
Whatever makes YOU happy !
I think also that you have to consider the overall hairiness of a man. If a man with a smooth body shaves, it looks fine. If a hairy guy shaves, it's almost like painting a target over his bits. Personally, I don't think that's a good look.
Do you recommned shaving creams? With the gillette... I am afraid to hurt myself in the worst places, you know... And wax... THANKS BUT NO THANKS :P
Your normal every day variety hair conditioner. My ex told me about that years and years ago and I never once had a rash since I started doing that.
