Shaving legs and under arms, do you still do it?

[alexkidd]

So I'm pre-T (due to start in November, hopefully) and I don't shave alot anyways.

But I got to thinking when I am on T, I'm not going to be shaving my legs and under arms. Do you pre-T guys still bother with shaving? Or even post T guys do you still shave (other then your face ofcourse)?

[Lachlann]

Never have, never will. Haha.

[Nero]

No. I only started shaving in middle school cause I'd get harrassed about it. Don't do it anymore. Too itchy.

I shaved my legs in middle school and high school. I wanted to pass as a girl. I did it to avoid being teased.

I stopped shaving my legs... a couple months ago, I think. I stopped shaving under my arms like a week ago, as an experiment. To see where it goes. If it isn't to my satisfaction, I'll start shaving under my arms again. It's irritating right now, the pokey hairs, but I'll give it time to grow out.

When I'm on T, I will also do the same thing. Experiment with the under arms, see if I like it. If I don't, I'll shave 'em. If I don't like having a hairy torso, I might try waxing and see if I like a hairless torso. After comparison, I'll make an educated decision. If I get a lot of hair on my back I'll probably do something about that. It's the one place that hair creeps me out.

I used to also always shave the bikini area. Just like my under arms, I stopped, to experiment. I don't like how it looks, though. I hope with T I'll have a bit more of a trail so i looks more even.

Not anymore. And if you think I'm shaving this beauty of my legs tonight just because I head back to school tomorrow, you're wrong. I don't really care who teases me or asks questions. Not even for gym will I shave this off. The guys don't and believe me, some of thier legs look like forrests.

[Elwood]

I do try one thing.

Recently I shaved my thighs. Waiting to see if the hair appears darker. People say it's a myth but...

I'd shave the knees and down when I shaved. I'd avoid the thighs. My thigh hairs were blond and the other hair was darker. So I'm testing to see it it really is just a myth. The hairs are coming back to my thighs, and they appear to be slightly darker. I think it only works the first time, though. I don't think it continues to get darker.

[Adam]

Well I have noticed the hair on my legs to be thicker then before, so it might work. It doesn't hurt to try, and if it's on your thigh, no one will notice.

[trapthavok]

Pre-T: Haha NO I love all the hair I can get.


But I gave into the peer pressure thing 2 or 3 times vvv I was blatantly ignorant of it til college. I agree.  Too itchy.

Dan, when I shaved my calves, the hair came back much longer/thicker than before. But on my thighs for some reason, they came back a lot shorter. In the beginning I thought it was just because they hadn't finished growing back yet, but it's been like three years and the thigh hair is the same length, aka much shorter than it was to begin with.

Hmm. Interesting. Since the hair was really short and blond, I figured if I lost anything I wouldn't be loosing much. So I took the chance.

Do your pants rub on your thighs in that area?  I have a bald patch on each of my thighs near where the crotch of my pants rubs against them constantly.  My dad's once hairy calves have become smooth and hairless because the boots he wears rubs off all of his hair to the point where it does not grow back.

My pants rub my calves, so there's a bald spot on each of them, lol! Just like my dad.

A lot of guys actually do shave their legs, not as often as a women would,
but enough to keep them short (say a 1/8-1/4 inch).

I don't really like a lot of hair on a guy, but I don't want them to have none
also.

[Elwood]

I am undecided about how much I will keep. Right now it's just a little. If I turn into a Sasquatch, I'll probably manage the hair somehow. Either use an electric trimmer or go as far as waxing. Guys look great his hairless chests but it's also very 70's to have a hairy chest. And  you guys all know how bad I want to live in the 70's. Lol.

[Adam]

Yah, I'm sure we'll all find ways of hair managment once we start T, but right now, there's not much of a point.

[JonasCarminis]

i used to shave to pass as a girl.  i havnt for a few months now though.  i looove it.  lol  i dont have to spend time on it, and i like to play with it.  idk.  like im pettin my dog or something.  im so weird. >_<

[Adam]

lol when my mom rubs my legs, she says I'm like the cat's brother.

When I moved in with my mom, I stopped shaving my legs because I was tired of it, but I kept shaving my underarms 'cause I was still in girl mode. I went back to doing my legs for a while during my last fling, but once that was over, I stopped altogether. Now the only thing I shave is my face (I don't need to, but it makes me feel good). I'll never shave my legs again. Too much trouble. And anyway, I'm Italian; I'm inherently hairy. I can't wait 'til I start T and can grow a beard--I just know it'll come in red like my bio-dad and my brother. I don't really care for the hair on my toes, though. Makes me feel vaguely hobbitish. >_>

Uhm. Maybe? I wear fitted jeans, but they're not tight, so I have no idea.

About chest hair, I'd prefer to wax everything except my happy trail. I like it.

Is it possible to judge the placement/thickness of your chest hair by the chest hair you already have? Because I do have hair on my chest, it's just peach fuzz, just like everyone has on their face, really thin and basically invisible.

I dread having a beard. BUT I will enjoy side burns. It's unfortunate, I think those come last... And some guys never get 'em.
