Never could see the point in shaving that area. Only me, my wife and my doctor see it, and none of us care.
I do know from painful experience that, if you shave that area, you cannot ever stop shaving it. If you do, you will spend six weeks thinking that there is a porcupine in your pants. I had to shave for my bottom surgery, and I did the six weeks' penance. I resolved, "Never again!"
