Whether its the face, underarms, legs, or places that we little boys and girls shouldn't be thinking of, most of us shave something on a regular basis.

Im just curious as to how ofter you shave.(Im bored :P)

For me, I shave my facial hair about every 3 days.

facial hair, I go as long between shavings as I can stand (untill it starts itching). I'm at about 5 days right now.

I'm cultivating a weirdbeard, but the parts I DO shave get shaved every other day at minimum, if I'm just being a lazy college student. If I need to look nice, I need to shave. Dark, thick, fast-growing hair here. Woo testosterone?

Depends if I only have lectures to go (then I shave once or twice a week), if I have clinical rotations, I shave every day. If I'm off from both, which isn't often, then I don't shave.

That's the face. The rest of the body gets touch ups as needed when I notice. Wax sometimes when I need to be extra "fine".

I don't get this famed itching. I've never developed it.

Haven't trimmed the beard in about seven months....though I shave off the moustache about once a week.

I don't shave anywhere else... :p

ah, if only i had facial hair. i think its because im part Native American. i read somewhere that they don't really grow facial hair

Depends what time of year it is and whether I'm dating anyone. At the moment, it's winter and I'm single, so I haven't shaved my legs in a month or so. :)

ah, if only i had facial hair.

It's mostly overrated on oneself.

its pretty bad. My friends have commented that I resemble a puppy with fleas when my beard is itching because of how much I scratch/the fact that I occasionally whimper.

Smoooooth.

Oh, and as far as places we little boys and girls shouldn't be thinking of...

Man, never again. Never again.

That is too cute, but most things with you are.

I don't get this famed itching. I've never developed it.

My stubble becomes really itchy after about 5 days, and stays that way for about 2-3 weeks.

I usually shave everyday for work (but not always, if I can't be buggered). I only shave on weekends if I'm doing something special.

Smoooooth.

Only in the right spots. I know where to leave hair...

same here..and its onyly on the neck hair..well thats where the hair grows thickest...i hate that itching feeling, and thats why i shave so much nowadays

My stubble becomes really itchy after about 5 days, and stays that way for about 2-3 weeks.

I'm starting to think everyone but me has some sort of weird facial fungus. During the summer when on vacation I usually go with two months growth (yay, socialism!) and it never itches.

*expects infection any day now just for tempting fate like this*

I hear that. Im sure everyone thought I had crabs or something from all the itching i did... Gosh..

On the other hand, a nice trim can be attractive and hygienic.

But fellas... forego that razor.

Wusses. You get used to it, and if you actually do touch ups like you should, i.e. not letting it grow out to stubble then itching is non-existent.

Are you kidding?

There is no way the Arch-Ponderer of the Transcendant Pilgrims would allow a blade near his throat. I have one of my concubines sear off my excess facial hair with a red hot coal.

Oh, and as far as places we little boys and girls shouldn't be thinking of...

Man, never again. Never again.

Seconded!

*shudders*

Less than once a week.

Two reasons:

A) My facial hair grows pretty slowly.

B) I usually like to keep my facial hair, anyway.

I never have the time, so it's usually 2 or 3 weeks without shaving.

Seconded!

*shudders*

Why not? I like that place shaved....
I shave 2 or 3 times a week. I just can't stand feeling hairy.

You're just not doing it right.

Seconded.

i recently shaved my head with a razor blade. it was a spiritual experience.

You're just not doing it right.

Oh, you mean i don't pluck em one by one?

I'll stick with that. I'm a guy, I don't mind being hairy. :p

On second thought, it wouldn't be so awful if I decided to KEEP it that way and make sure it got done (and done well) ... every day. But that's just too high-maintenance for me.

And possibly injurious to my pride. I shaved my stomach once, and my brother told me I looked like a gay porn star.

Not a compliment, to myself. :)

I shave about twice a week.

Well I haven't shaved my beard for about 3 weeks. But the mo gets shaved every 2-3days.

You should have asked him if he watches much gay porn to know.

I wouldn't have the fungus either.

But I shave every night before I work (we are required to be clean shaven). But with my upcoming school schedule, I may need to add another shave during the week to avoid scruffiness.

Ooooh, I should have.

But a comeback three years later isn't much of a comeback at all. :(

i never shave as such i only shave if i have to go to a wedding or some thing important, last time i shaved it was for charty

Ooooh, I should have.

Comebacks are collectables. You never know when an opportunity to use one is going to present itself, and it helps to have a few of them in store.

By the by, there's nothing bad about looking like a gay porn star. On the contrary, they tend to be quite hot.

I'm afraid I wouldn't know. I think that the hair-stripe down the middle of my stomach was probably a bad idea regardless, though...

Yes, a very bad idea, but most gay porn stars wouldn't make such a mistake. And I would know, since I've seen a fair share. :)

The 'happy trail'?? Ya, those are pretty terrible, I used to have one of those. But now I just let my torso hair grow out. Ya know, so i can be a rough and rugged, good looking man :p

Gross dude! :eek:

For a supposedly straight man, you sure do like to tell other men what is "gross" about their appearance. Why the fixation?

Sigh. Not this anti-chest hair business again!

I dunno. Maybe I am secretly gay? I'm not.

Not so secretly. Oh, you so are.

:eek: Yes you are.

Not very often. I refuse to shave unless I'm wearing clothes revealing legs and armpits, which is almost never in the winter.

*shudders*

Shuddering from the thought of seing my hot rump naked?:D

Not very often. I refuse to shake unless I'm wearing clothes revealing legs and armpits, which is almost never in the winter.

The typo makes it funny!

"Want some fries with that shake?"

:p

It's not your rump I fear shall be inadequate.

I rarely flat-out REFUSE to shake.

*killeth self*

:p
No thanks. I need to start losing the holiday weight I gained. :p

What are you calling "inadequate"

They don't call me Tommy Zilamy Salami for nothing, if thats what you were implying :p

*killeth self*

They're just jealous yours brings all the boys to the yard and it's better than theirs. You could show them, but you'd have to charge.

What are you calling "inadequate"

Let's not go there. One mental image of it per year is more than enough for me.

Pft your loss. ;)

I once say two guys make out on the bus, but I think that was a touch gayer.

Thankfully.

You ought to know.

*shakes booty* :p

How?

But shit that was a fast response. You had me quoted before I even saw my post.

Once a week or so for my face. Fortunately my boyfriend quite likes the feel of my stubble on his...um...well...he just likes it. He shaves daily. Much to my disappointment.

*shakes booty* :p

*is mesmerized*

Look at that fat giggle...


















Sorry.:(

:fluffle: ?

I shave my face daily. The biggest reason I do it is because I had to when I was in the Army and it's become a habit. Also, I've been told by several female friends that I had a "baby-faced thing" that "really works for me" to paraphrase one of them.

*shakes booty* :p

Woo! :D

i can only speak for myself, but
it's the hair on the neck (under the chin) that itches once it gets over about 5 days growth
i believe it's because cheek hair splays outward away from the skin, but neck hair splays inward against the skin
so it's the tips of the hairs causing the itch

Only when I have to look presentable.

I am confident that your arsenal has a far more prodigious capacity than the norm.

Seconded.

Once every few months.

I have dark hair and fast-growing beard so I usually shave every morning – at least whenever I’m supposed to get out of the house, either to university or to work.

During weekend and holydays however, I tend to go for a couple of days between shavings. My record is four days – but by that time it was itching so badly that I couldn’t stand it anymore.

For some reason, shaving my face often causes me to break out a little bit. So it's rather unenjoyable. Thus, I do it about once a week, maybe twice. Half the time I don't even know where my razor is.

And conveniently, my facial hair doesn't grow too fast. I can go five days without shaving and it only looks like two or three. Which is weird because my uncle was growing a beard at 10.

Face, I don't really need to shave, I do from time to time, but it has never really been an issue (Very fine hair, no-one really notices)

Body, psh, shave, never.

Naughty! How could you suggest such a thing.
Trim as needed (Shave only to shape and style, well away from anything important), I'll eventually wax where no hair is a good thing.

I don't ever shave, because I don't have my beard yet... which is a good thing... I think.

I bought 12 one time razers a couple of years ago and I'm planning to use them a couple years longer. Why only use them once when they are cheap?

It used to be every 2-3 days with a wet shave, but it's become every day with an electric now. My hair is very very very thick. Everytime I go to a new barber/hairdresser they comment on its thickness. Normally that it's the thickest they've ever cut.

I quite happy with the amount of hair I have otherwise. Pretty much hairless above abdomen, and the reverse below, right down to the tips of my toes. Well my hair doesn't really grow on my toenails. But you probably know what I mean.

Every two days while working/studying.

Every three days on vacation.

I hate being hairy. And I look much beter when shaved, so I have to shave all the time. Also, when I was young I hated having hair on my body, so I did shave my chest. Now I dont anymore, and I´m confortable with it.

Older women dont bother. The problem is the younger women. They hate hair.

As a couple of the girls have said, I don't bother shaving my legs unless I'm wearing something short, and since it's winter, I don't do that often. I do have a boyfriend, but we (unfortunately) haven't been engaging in much lately that would require me looking nicely groomed all over. ;) I did shave my legs a couple days ago because I was going out and wanted to wear a skirt, but in the winter, it's usually only once a week, if that.

Otherwise, every 2-3 days, I guess. As long as I can get away with not shaving them. I'm lazy. :p

As for my "naughty bits"... not divulging. ;)

In fact, it sounds sexier if you dont talk about it, instead of broadly saying if you shave them or not.

Before work or whenever I feel like it. *has stubble at the moment*

Usually every 4-5 days. Partially because I'm lazy, partially because I keep forgetting, and partially because it doesn't really grow that fast. I probably should shave today.

facial hair, I go as long between shavings as I can stand (untill it starts itching). I'm at about 5 days right now.

ditto but i get itchy after about 2 or 3 days, and as such shave facial hair usually every other day :)

Once a week, that's it! Thank God for that!

Once a week, on average. It's been 11 days now, though.

I try to shave every Monday. If I miss it, I'll just shave the next day or the day after.

While the hair on my head is extremely thick, my facial hair is considerably lighter. My Native American genes probably have something to do with that. The patterns and texture scream Irish, but the hair itself is nowhere near as thick as it should be, nor does it grow as fast.

Maybe I'm just not old enough.

I wish my hair would grow in so it at least looks nice.. :(

Maybe once a week, I don't have much facial hair growth, I couldn't grow a beard even if I tried :( :sad panda:

Haah perhaps once a year!

Sometimes I occasionly shave my cheeks but I always keep my goatee and side burns

When it comes to my arms and legs, I'm like one of those hairless cats. I have no hair there, so I never have to shave there. My armpits, however.... ew!

:D Lucky you, I get to do both legs and pits. Depending on the time of year, that'll amount to a couple three times a week in summer, maybe once a week in the winter.

I don't know that armpit hair is necessarily an "ew" sort of thing. Left to myself, I'd not shave it at all, but then I'd probably be left to myself if I stopped, as my Lady doesn't care for it. Life's a series of compromises, I guess. ;)

I usually shave once a week. Although it really depends on whether I want to look like http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Vollbart.gif (before) or like http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Kinnbart.jpg (now).

Almost never, really.

Almost never, really.

Really?

Actually, I've become a convert to waxing, so only once every couple of weeks. It's fantastic!

It's "ew" because it was long and black when I checked it last. Yet, the rest of my hair, other than that on my head, which is light brown, is white-blond. You can't even see it. So, I was told not to shave it... ever.

Yes, life is compromises...

Sounds very painful... *can't picture ripping out her arm hair*
