Some men, particularly in some races, have little hair on their body, even on their face. Consider it a Godsend. Shaving may be easy for you for the rest of your life!!

Ok, here goes. When I was in my teens, I was shaving my under arms from top down. This is backwards as any woman knows. I thought it was easier, and if i went against the grain (so to speak) it would be a closer shave. \nThat summer my mom took me aside and told me that under my arms was getting dark. I was shaving them wrong. Do you remember Miami Vice back in the 80's? The dark look on the mans jaw. It wasn't stubble. \n\nIf you shave agents the way the hair grows, You'll get a dark look.\n\nChange the way you shave.

Showering 3 times a day? Why in the world would you do that? Don't shave, that could make things worse. Get medical assistance asap.

I think shaving is the easiest.  Try doing it in a hot shower after you've been in it for a few minutes.  That will soften the hair and make the skin more able to tolerate the razor.  After you're done be sure to moisturize.  I use neosporin on my skin after shaving.  It sounds strange, but it was a tip I read on the internet and it's the best thing that ever happened to my sensitive skin.

You r just 14 and i wonder whats the hurry all about. u started shaving at 11? Your hair roots must be highly provoked and u are definitely gonna get thick hair growth and black damaged skin now. \n\nAnd if u wanna stick to shaving, then follow this.\n\n1) First thing in the morning is not the best time to shave. Your skin will be puffy, making it difficult to get to the bottom of the hair shaft you seek to remove.\n2) Don’t ever shave dry hair. Take your shower or bath before you shave, giving the hair time to become engorged with water and thus an easier target to shave.\n3) For a close shave, scrub your skin with an abrasive sponge to remove dead skin around the hair shaft.\n4) Try using hair conditioner instead of shaving cream; it’ll leave your skin very soft.\n5) Change the razor blade after every third shave to reduce friction. You don’t want to irritate your skin more than necessary.\n6) Shave your underarms after you’ve done your body hair. This will allow more time for your underarm hair to become prepared for a close shave. Move the razor in the same \ndirection as the hair growth.\n8) Use as little pressure as possible on your razor. Use a razor with a hefty handle instead of pressing hard.\n9) Always apply a moisturizer after shaving to prevent flaky skin.\n\nIf all this does not work, go to a doctor , i mean a dermetologist immediately

I think the majority of ladies in NAmerica wax or do something with their bikini area. I personally wouldn't recommend waxing at home, unless you have a huge tolerance for self inflicted pain. True that it's more private, and you can cry and whine like a baby all you want, no one's gonna know, but for really great results, I'd go to a professional, and get them to do it. They can do a better job, reach places you can't even see, and get all the hair out faster, and actually with a little less pain. Make sure they are trained properly though, cause if not, you might as well do it at home. Expect to pay between $30 and $50 for a session, depending on where you go. And, as was already mentioned, the hair should be about 1/2" in length for the wax to work properly. They'll trim it if it's a little too long.\nWhen you get it done professionally, they'll most likely use a hot wax, which can be fairly warm. Using a spatula, they'll spread it on the area (that was the part I found most painful), and using strips of cloth, rip out the hair by it's roots, thus eliminating the hair from that area, for about 1-1.5 weeks. As you get it done more and more, less hair will grow back, and what does come in will be finer. Theoretically, after years of consistantly doing it, the hair should cease to grow, or at least grow in so little that you only have to treat the area once or twice a year. But I don't do it religously, so I can't say if that's true or not. But it does seem to be coming in finer.\nSo there you go, that's my experience with it. Overall, I'd say go to a salon, pay them, and get it done professionally.

No, it's not gay to shave down there, it feels good for you and it's much nicer for your partner.\n\nIf you're going to shave your pubic area, you need to do it every day (which is no hassle really, it only takes 5 minutes).  Doing this will almost completely prevent stubble and bumps.\n\nI recommend that you have a soapy shower, dry thoroughly, apply talc and shave with a single or dual foil electric shaver. Doing it every day means you stay virtually smooth all the time, which is a lovely feeling (for you and anyone else that it may concern). The talc is important because it lets the shaver glide softly and easily over your skin, giving you a smooth comfortable shave, unlike a harsh razor.\n\nI would never consider using chemicals on such a delicate part of the body, and waxing sounds *way* too painful - Far better to shave or (if you can afford it) go for one of the permanent hair removal treatments.

I like it if a guy keeps it up.  Really hairy men turn off a lot of girls.  But - just as juys complain when girls legs are stubbly - it hurts just as much for girls when a guy goes days without shaving their chest or legs or something and then tries to get close.

Waxing will prevent this. What you see is the root you can't get when shaving.

I shave only because i am scared to wax. It think it makes you feel sexier without hair. I dont like hair on my body. Also guys seems to find it a turn on and are willing to go down more.

Will edit if I do!\n\nCons:\n\nTime consuming\nTricky to shave completely - too many nooks and crannys!\nGets itchy during regrowth\nCould be dangerous - think nicking yourself, ingrown hairs etc

Expect to pay 80 - 200 dollars depending on the amount of hair and how much wax is used. Remember, there has to be hair there to wax, so you can't have shaved for at least a month, and you'll still be susceptible to ingrown hairs and irritation just like with shaving. And waxing last only marginally longer, but the pain is 20 times more. So there's your trade off.\nYour best bet is to just trim. Besides, Hairy men - especially down there are sexy!

Waxing or epilating will last the longest...no idea how long it takes for men's hair to grow back though!\nShaving doesnt really work that well as you end up with stubble all over your legs!

Try getting a anti-fog mirror for the shower and shaving after the steam has softened your skin.  Also, don't run the razor too many times in the opposite direction of your hair growth.  This is what irritates the skin the most.

Switch your razor.  Try using Good News by Gillette (disposable men's razors).  Also change your razor OFTEN (every 4th to 6th shave).  Also do NOT shave daily.  Every other day or 3rd day at most.  \n\nUse a thick, creamy soap like Oil of Olay with Shea Butter for extra dry skin.  Also, use water as hot as you can stand it.\n\nWhen you get out of the bath, slather tons of lotion on your legs - use something like a Body Butter from Bath & Body Works or something similar.
