Men's grooming, where to draw the line?

[Anonymous]

So yesterday I trimmed my beard and did some manscaping (you know what area) as well as trimmed my armpit hair because I feel it's more hygenic and stinks less/looks better.

Anyway I was thinking about some other areas of my body... for example I have ridiculously hairy legs, my hair grows over an inch long!

So I was thinking if I'm going to trim all these different areas than why not trim the rest... what do you think, yay or nah?

Nay, don't bother...

Yay, trim the rest...

It depends...

Do what you think is best...

I get rid of all my body hair, except for my arms. I just don't like how body hair looks, it's not attractive, so I get rid of it.
You do what you want.
Try trimming your legs, just to see how it looks. It's winter, you're not gonna wear shorts, so it's a good time to try.

I shave and trim excess body hair.

[Asker]

what's excess to you?

[ConsultantIsBack]

Around My dick I trim all the way down but don't shave with a razor, my torso is pretty much always smooth. Occasionally I'll even shave my forearms. I don't grow any hair in my back. I don't shave legs, altho I did back in my short swimming days. If I had very hairy legs I def would tho personally. And I shave my armpits, which is very hygienic in my opinion.

But I realize I might be considered going over board compared to most guys, which may be considered weird, but I like having hair and associated bacteria/body odor removed. All girls I've been with like it for the most part, i think lots of women want guys to manscape more.
Plus hair on forearms/calves covers muscle definition. For physique competitions I Nair literally everything lol

My boyfriend is super hairy and he'll trim up his chest, back, armpits and sometimes does his upper arms but has never done his legs or anything like that

I personally don't like a bear as a friend, so I enjoy when men take the time to trim

[Asker]

I decided to give it a go because why not, it's body hair I don't have the same attachment to it like my head hair or my beard...

My legs look way better (I didn't shave them I trimmed), they're still hairy just not over the top like before. I also trimmed my chest and stomach hair... it looks a little better but I went too short because it gets irritated by my shirt... I still have to figure this out a little bit more but it's something I see myself doing like once a month if I decide to continue.

[phillykreta]

Sounds good, you should comfortable! That's most important :)

noticed your comments about unruly body hair. Maybe use a hair trimmmer to keep it a couple milimeters? I mean, it takes only days for the hair to grow out, so you'll shave your skin off. A trimmer, just go over it and you're done XD

Just an idea

[Asker]

That's what I was referring to... I'm not going to shave my legs lol I was just going to use a trimmer but it would be pain in the ass because it will take awhile and could make my hair thicker which would suck.

[Opinion Owner]

nah, it won't. Get a good one meant for head hair, and set it to a couple milimeters. 2 minutes per leg XD

And your hair won't be thicker, that's a myth.

Could try eliptors too to remove the hairs, but that'd probably hurt.

Hey if you want to shave, laser or do whatever to your body hair go right ahead, but my own grooming never goes past, shaving my face, combing my facial hair when it gets longer and regular showers.

[Asker]

I'd never do laser hair removal, I'd only shave select areas but I generally hate using a razor and as for trimming it kind of different than the other 2 because you're not removing the hair just shortening/adjusting it. I don't know what your body hair is like but mine is a little overabundant, I don't have a problem with hair but I do have an issue with it when it's out of control and looks unruly.

[Phoenix98]

I actually have pretty nice body hair, and quite curly leg hair lol and hey if you need shave then shave or you could wax it I suppose but that would be painful, and shaving would at least leave some hair.

[farris2]

I wouldn't shave the legs, it's up to you. I think it's best to have some stuble for your pubic hair. Shave your balls at your own risk. It iches like crazy! I just shave my Pubic region and trim my ball hair.

[Asker]

lol why does everybody think I'm going to shave my legs?

I trimmed my leg hair... I'm going to keep messing around with this.

[farris2]

Haha ok man, Id trim the chest also if it's super long. And back hair maybe. Have fun bro

[GingerGuy]

I trim all over to. I hate my body hair. I think it looks better and it definitely feels better.

[BruceTrails]

I wouldn't shave your legs.
I actually want more leg hair body hair and facial hair but it just doesn't grow...

Whatever you like is A-OK.
