I think to each his own, if you like it shave, if you don't, don't shave. However, I am very hairy and have a big bush, I like it but I have noticed in most circles that I have been in thus far, I am in the minority. And a lot of guys feel okay making comments about my bushiness, there again to each his own, I would never make a negative comment about your shaved appearance, but let those of us who like it bushy just be bushy. I like hairy men and I like my hair. Just my two cents, lol.
Shaved is nice and clean,It keeps the germs away,If shaved you've never been,Then try it now some day.
Hair isn't a cause of bacterial or viral propagation. Bacteria and viruses and other biota live on the skin, and in sweat, as well as other fluids. Some are healthy, some are harmful, but most are entirely unimportant. I used to be less hairy, so I could shave easily, and enjoyed it. Now, there is too much stubble, ingrown hairs, and the inevitable dermabrasions which are less good for the skin. What is benign on the surface may be less so in the dermal layers, sebaceous glands, follicles, etc. If one showers and washes properly, there is really no difference. To each their own, but to suggest there is a health benefit is... odd. I note that those who do shave enjoy it immensely, so by all means, keep on doing so.
I decided to trim my pubic hair about 20yrs ago. The more I trimmed, the better I thought it looked. Finally I decided to completely shave my public area. I experimented with different razors and shaving creams. Using shaving cream seemed to leave bumps and infected hairs. What has worked well for me is a Schick Extreme 3 Razor and water. The Schick Extreme 3 has a flexible and pivoting head which allows the blade to bend around the natural curves of the area. I usually shave when I first get into the shower. Before I turn the water off, I rub my pubic area down with baby oil or baby oil gel, then rinse and turn the water off. The baby oil (I like the kind with lavender or aloe) keeps me from having any razor burn at all and keeps everything nice and soft. The baby oil gel stay on longer. Oil or gel, it only takes a little.
