Shaving

**PhilsterT** · 04-26-2005 07:52 AM

Does anyone here get their back shaved? I was wondering how they do it and how much. How much is laser hair removal and things like that?

**TwiloMike** · 04-26-2005 08:23 AM

I have a few stray hairs on my traps and upper/posterior shoulders. I pull them out (shaving makes them grow back thicker and faster). Not enough back hair here to consider actual treatments, though, so I can't help you.

My girlfriend gets the pleasure of plucking my back hair.

I have countable stray back hair on the top of my back, it looks very strange.

My freshman RA had more back hair than I have on my whole body. His mom paid for laser removal but apparently it's a several step process. I would be very hesitant to shave due to thickness of the hairs when they grow back.

Wow, more high school urban legends, lemme straighten you out:

SHAVING HAIR NEITHER MAKES IT GROW BACK FASTER NOR THICKER, IT IS A PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY.

Please stop saying that it does, it gets quite tiresome hearing it after awhile.

Amen.

i stand by my statement, you shouldnt shave your arms/back/legs/chest if you are a guy. unless you are competing

Care to explain that one bigpoppa?

**smalls** · 04-26-2005 01:32 PM

I shave damn near everything. But I can't reach around to the back, it's not too bad anyway. Laser hair removal seems to work quite well and usually doesnt cost TOO much. You should be able to get your entire back done for probably 4-700 dollars (takes a few sessions). That's my plan eventually.

**Built** · 04-26-2005 01:34 PM

Damned near everything... hmmm.... does this explain that, um, weird scar of yours smalls?

**smalls** · 04-26-2005 01:36 PM

LOL, no I'm more carefull than that when I shave my boys, lol. I'll tell ya the story later.

That reminds me of that episode of Sex and the City where Charlottes boyfriend Harry gets his back hair waxed for the wedding and it's like beat red when he takes his shirt off....

Being a man and watching Sex and the City can't be good for my test levels...

**AB2004** · 04-26-2005 04:31 PM

i get a really bad lower back, i shave it with an electric razor usually every other day,

**Teufelhund** · 04-26-2005 04:37 PM

uh, this one guy I know... he uh, he tried waxing once. no wait. His incredibly hot supermodel girlfriend talked him into waxing once. After the tears and blood dried, he broke out in large angry painful zits all over the waxed area.

I wonder what he did wrong...

i used to wax my ex-bf if you put baby powder before hand and pat a little off and apply the wax after it's less painful well that's what he told me! maybe he was just trying to be nice

The hair doesn't grow in thicker per se but the original hair has pointed and tapered at the end, correct? When you shave it, it grows with a blunt end, correct? Therefore, although it may be an illusion, it appears the hair is thicker. By no means does more hair grow back, that's just silly.

**PhilsterT** · 04-26-2005 06:25 PM

Okay. But why does it have a pointed end in the first place?

Laser hair removal's only between $400-700? I thought it was closer to 5,000. And, it doesn't ever grow back?

I'm a teen now, it's not a problem, but I have a little on my lower back (I can't really tell if I have any other hair on my back because it's not big enough to show yet). I have a little on my shoulders (VERY little) so it's not a problem.

This is an erosion/wear pattern.

hair on your body is normal for MEN. sure i shave my balls and my face but nothing else. ive seen guys shave their arms and get ripped apart for it. i dont see why guys are so afraid of having hair. most girls i know have told me that its better for a guy to have the hair than to try shaving it. sorry for all you guys that shave your arms/legs but i dont understand it. are you going to do it for the rest of your life? shaving your chest is alright if you are going to the beach or something but...in my experience girls just dont like when guys shave body hair.

**Built** · 04-26-2005 06:35 PM

Oh, sorry - I totally misread that before.

I agree, to a point.

I do NOT like the look of back/shoulder hair.

But on the rest of the body, it's fine. Feels soft, actually.

I HATE stubble.

I have had the exact opposite experience, every girl I have ever been with has said they prefer less hairy/hairless guys.

that all depends on the girl some like hair and some don't, either doesn't bother me most men that do shave, who train, shows off their definition more i would think

**PhilsterT** · 04-26-2005 07:04 PM

I've never figured out how someone shaves their balls.

I don't shave anything except my chest (does anyone else use a razor?). But, I was thinking if I was at the beach it would look hella trippy if I had a hairy back (I don't know) and a clean front. Haha.

maybe they don't really shave their balls.. just the region above that.

a man shaving all hair on his body? I read a story once where a guy couldn't stand his butthole hairs.. so he shaved them. and got so sweaty and slippery and developed a huge rash from it, that it was one of the worst things ever. :O
