Hair removal

OK, I should point out my problem. I do not look like a monkey, I actually only have much hair on my legs, which REALLY bothers me... People don't really care, but it bothers me more than anything... I have thick darkbrown hair, and am unable to shave my legs for many reasons.

  1. You can still see the tiny tips of my hair after about 1 hour of shaving
  2. It leaves my skin with red dots, from ingrown hairs

I've considered waxing, but would rather stick to something else, because I've heard it causes even more ingrown hairs, than shaving does.

I just feel unconfortable in shorts, and would prefer hairless legs...

Any products / tips would be helpful.
 
Just use clippers then. Trim them instead of shaving them.
1. It will make your legs look less hairy
2. No ingrown hairs.
 
Hmmm Good idea. I've actually been doing that, it does work, but I have one of them electric razors, and it's so damn loud... I guess it's time to go shopping.
 
Wax... It's not that bad, and no more ingrown hairs (at least for me, and I looked like a behemoth)
 
You guys seriously wax/shave your legs?

Guys just don't do that in the UK.

How far do you go? just the shins or do you go the whole hog and get waxed up to the neck?
 
When I waxed I waxed my whole body. I was competiting in competitive lifesaving though. I never got ingrown hairs from waxing. Make sure you exfoliate.

The sane men in the states don't either. Most of my friends are the same as me, we shave our faces to some degree and keep it trimmed and clean in one other place. I'll give you a hint, we're not talking chest or legs.
 
LOL - Yeah. I dont shave ever cos Its the most boring thing in the whole world!!!!

I have much more important things to do with my time than shave. I use clippers for my face and 'other areas' once a week.

Is it bad is your "downstairs" hair is shorter than your face hair?
 
I wax everything except 3 areas, and two of them are under my arms.. I'll leave shaving to the special places.

I do plan on competiting next year and need an even tan, but I see nothing wrong with a guy waxing. If you're big enough, no one will even think twice :D





And RLewis, I hope you're not using the same clippers.
 
You're a special kinda guy, Russ ;)

I shave my face every 2 days about. I shave my chest like once every 1-2 weeks or so. I'm not too beastly with that yet ;)

I don't wax, and don't see a problem if a guy did. If he doesn't want to look like a warewolf, what's the prob? I think shaving legs is weird tho. I mean, below the knee is a must if you're a dude, it distinguishes you as a guy when you have shorts on. Above the knee is alright to shave/wax I suppose, idk.
 
Man, the only hair I got is on my head and my eye brows. I hate have body hair. I prefer to wax. The hair doesn't grow back as fast as shaving.

Im with you on the above/bellow knee thing.
But then with Tattoos, piercings and clothes, people do a lots stranger things than shaving!
 
i've only just started shaving my face again, finally decide to ditch the berd cause I have an interview soon and want to look as smart as possible. but forget shaving chest or legs, tried it once and never felt so itchy in all my life
 
lol, i've shaved/waxed/naired pretty much EVERY part of my body at one point.

Now i just trim wherever i feel neccesary... if i'm going to be wearing shorts, i'll use clippers on my legs way ahead of time, so i have enough hair grow back to look "manly" but not "beastly". If i'm going shirtless, i'll clip/shave my chest just to clean up a lil... and i keep the nether-regions trimmed all the time, an occasional razor if i'm feeling frisky, haha.

good thread though, i think its funny how some guys say "eww you girl! you shave!" and other guys are like "*shrug* i'm hairless".

and R.Lewis... i've seen some pretty "fancy" guys since i've been in england... i would definitly guess they shave quite a bit!
 
How about the laser hair removal so you don't have to deal with it again? I've priced some treatments and it's like a couple hundred/ treatment and you need about 3-5 treatments. I plan on going that route.
