Shaving?

[Taka]

i'm too lazy about my legs. only shave them if going to the swimming pool. would be around once a week in winter. my armpit too, only once a week in winter. when i don't have reason to show them in public i don't care about shaving either, but will some times trim if it gets too annoying.

downstairs i used because of the smell, but stopped after finding an amazing handmade soap that removed the whole problem. now i only make sure no hairiness shows outside my bikini when i go to the swimming pool. not particularly manly, but not as hilarious as my brother shaving the lowest part of his leg so that the hairs won't get pulled because they got tangled into his socks

I always had a little bit of chin hair.  I never minded it, but my mom would always guilt me into shaving it off...

Now I just let everything grow.  In summer I trim to cut down on sweat and stink, but I don't want to deal with the itchyness of shaving.  Hope I start to get some chest hair soon.

For me, shaving would be too time consuming, itchy, and would likely end with lots of cuts so I'd rather just be hairy.

this is true for me. i never shave anything but my chest and face i only shave my chest once in a while when it looks especially weird. i trim down below because it gets very bushy.

Awww don't be embarrassed! Husband liked having smooth legs. His body hair is just so thick that he would have had to shave every day.

I'm actually not very hairy at all for a guy. I think part of the reason I went ahead and did it for maybe the 2nd time ever was because it seemed pretty easy to do because the hair is sparse, fine, and blonde. It would prolly be easy to maintain also for the same reasons and doesn't appear to grow very fast. I shaved just the thighs as an early experiment and they still weren't visibly hairy over a week later. I kept fondling my thighs when no one was watching and enjoying how they felt. I'm a perv.

The main deterrent is that I just realize how weird it looks on a guy to have smooth legs. You can hardly see the hair on my legs anyway unless you're up close but for some reason it seems to stand out when they're totally smooth.

It was also kind of fun to shave them. I enjoyed it. Like I said--perv.

Good lord, no.

I always shave down below, and plan on getting electrolysis there.

I don't shave anywhere else except my face (cuz the hairs are still sparse), but there's nothing wrong with shaving the rest of your body. It doesn't make you less of a man, though it may make it harder for people to decipher your gender if you are early in transition, or later in transition it could cause them to presume you may like men since more homosexual and bisexual guys shave their arms and legs compared to hetero guys.

My cisgender male partner likes to shave all over, while I prefer my arms and legs hairy. Neither is really wrong. It's personal preference and even if it makes people think something different about you, it doesn't make you any less of a man. If my uncle shaved his arms and legs, I might be surprised but I would not by any means think of him as less of a guy or more of a girl, cuz he's clearly not. Just like I don't think that girls who leave their arm or leg hair are men. Society may expect them to shave it depending on the culture, but there's not some objective law saying what we should or shouldn't do with our hair.

Do whatever you want...life is short!

I was the crunchy anti athoritarian feminist girl with hairy legs and pits lol and still, after transition, let it all grow. I'll occasionally trim le downstairs with clippers; I was never a fan of a big ol' forest of pubes so I keep 'em neat. Otherwise, I'm fairly hairy
