Might try some nairing soon.

Should be fun

it basically burns the hair off and if you leave it on too long starts burning your skin..

shaving, waxing or burning hair off can be problematic with ingrown hairs which turn into big zit looking things as it gets infected under the skin...

there may be lotions for this type of thing and it might depend on your skin type...

like using multiblade razors... they cut the hair too short.. skin closes over and a big red painful bulge comes up..

you are far better using a Mans single blade type Razor with double edge like your granddad used to use..

with those I like using the "Feather" blades

Got some waxed strips from woollies.

You should hear the screaming from there

Don't do it!!!

Just me, I don't particularly like it, and it does make drying your back after a shower a bit of a pain.

Yes, professional. First treatment and hasn't grown back yet so hard to tell.

I think you should just use a trimmer Sprint...

quick and easy and you wont get ingrown hairs..

once you wax, within a few days it'll look like you've just trimmed anyways but it'll be prickly..

trimming keeps the hair softer...

feel free to rub in a bit of lotion ...  8-)

The wax strips were pretty good.
googled how to use them first.
Nowhere near as painful as what I imagined.

Yes - no women have posted on this thread -

they are giving the guys the privacy they deserve.

Ah, did not take the 'before' pics, so can't show the 'before' and 'after' .........
Showing a bit of skin to me is not a big issue.

Had a shower first, about 1/2 hour after that started the fun.
It was a bit scary.
Utube show people using wax strips. Cutting them in 1/2 is a good idea, can use every strip twice .
They are very good really.
A quick rip while holding the skin taunt, pull it off parallel and close to the skin.
Showered and moisturised after.
All good really.

Apparently use a loofah for a while after.

There is also a cream you can buy that brings the ingrowns out as well.


Been over a week, and the hair is still quite short. I'm told that with lasering it will grow back but after repeated treatments it thins out, so you get less hair.

I don't go the full hog with hair removal, but found living in the tropics for many years was very unpleasant with heat rashes etc.    I keep "down below" trimmed with a number 2 hair clipper, and do the crack and sack as well.    It does help with dispersing heat and makes the donk look bigger as well

ROTFLMAO are you serious? Doesn't it get itchy?
You know I have never bothered with any of that but when I first started to go through puberty I remember trimming " down there" as I thought WTF is this all about. All I remember is it being itchy as all hell when it grew back so I've never bothered since.
Funny though, only this morning I looked at my chest and thought " God I'm getting some grey in there maybe I should have a go at removing it".

You get used to it.

and who doesn't like that?  ;D

.....................

I just use the clippers without any clipon heads... with a nice steady hand you can get down nice and close..  ;)

The other advantage of less hair I found as well is that the hygeine aspect is easier and lasts longer.

I found it does get itchy, but I only No 2 it, not back to bare skin.  It looks like a baby elephant front on if I do.   Living in Cairns and Darwin and working really odd hours outside, I found the humidity and heat just made that area so itchy and uncomfortable.    Most blokes shaved off so I tried it and was converted.

Christ!

I have a little trimmer that I use on my ears - as you grow older ear hair gets longer and tougher and it tickles....

Does that count?

yes...

it shows that you take care of yourself hygienically and care about your appearance to others..

nothing worse than talking to someone with big hairy ears or noses...

a guy I used to work with used to have long black hairs coming out his nose  :o

difficult to look at.. but one day when I went to the tool store to get a tool another guy was there being served by Johnny... he says to me..

"Hey, do you know where flies go in winter" 

I'm like, no idea :-?

he says - " they go up Johnny's nose, you can see all of their little black legs hanging out"

well... I very nearly exploded with gut busting laughter..  ;D

It all gets a bit more complex.

Apparently the wax strips do not pull all the hairs out. Many get broken, so will grow back.

A little 'hair puller' out machine (electromechanical device with rapidly spinning grabbing jaws) does pull the hairs out.
Quite a different sensation.
Made me sweat and focus on my breathing.

Tweezers also work. Made me sweat too.

HIS IS AN ACTUAL CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM A MAN ON AMAZON.CO.UK AFTER USING VEET HAIR REMOVAL CREAM FOR MEN. I ACTUALLY HAD TEARS ROLLING DOWN MY FACE WHILE READING IT!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO FUNNY!!!:

After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit if a treat.
I ordered it well in advance and working in the North Sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...Oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn’t have long to wait.
At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling not to bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen, by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid off and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing returned. Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn’t managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and an tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me.
This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.
Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering “ooooohhh that feels good” Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn’t heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout fired against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn’t the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn’t improve my status…so to sum it up, VEET removes hair, dignity and self-respect ~ Cerys
