Shaving body hair?

i am an adult male with a pretty hairy body (chest, arms, legs, etc) i want to shave my chest hair and some of my arm hair. What is the most effective, cheapest way to do so? I've tried using my disposable razor and shaving cream and well, that didn't work (nor did i expect it to). Do i buy clippers or something?

Also is it true that shaving chest hair makes it grow back thicker?

thanks for you help.

You should buy clippers if you have a lot of really thick hair. I'm not sure what the cost of that would be. I use a trimmer set that has 4 different heads. You can get a good set from $20 to $30. It works pretty well, but takes a long time if I trim all my chest hair.

My chest hair did not grow back any thicker after I trimmed it. Yours probably won't either.

I would never trim my arm hair below my elbow.

I've been thinking about trimming my leg hair, but it goes all the way from my ankles to my butt. It's not very long, but it's pretty thick.

Do you trim your pubic hair? I trim that more often. Don't try shaving there.

clippers work best when shaving body hair.

My chest hair was already thick, so I don't know about thicker.

I use a smaller electric trimmer, and then a disposable. I like the triple blades.

The problem with shaving your chest is where to stop. I started and by the time I was done, I had shaved to my knees....

ill be honest, keep it unless a lady tells ya to shave for sexual play or pleasure, it itches and its a life sentence, i shaved the "family jewls" and to avoid the embarrasing itch, continue to shave, its up to u, tho

i would just use clippers like you said because you dont want all of your arm or leg hair gone because people will assume your gay or preppy or something so just trim it as i call it so it isnt too long and scarry but still average

Hi PrideBoi, Jeff here...I am hairy, and boi do i have experience to share with u!!! Waxing is the best, pulls the hair out at the root, much longer time before u have stubble and/or need to shave/wax again. Downside: HURTS LIKE HELL...I think shaving makes it seem to grow back thicker, but i dont think that's possible, i think it just SEEMS that way.

If you want to shave your arms and chest, my suggestion is just buy a big set o'clippers, like Wahl or Oster/whatever, the kind you plug in to an outlet,and shave yr hair off with the clippers, shaving with the growth of the hair so that youre not YANKING hair outta yr arm/chest and causing those tears to well up(save those for dating!!!LOL)Once the hair is about 1/2 inch long, run the clippers the other way without any attachments. That should get most of the hair off til u have about 1/4 inch left...Make sure u throw this hair in the trash, not down the drain, otherwise youll get a clog. I always shave outta town in a motel so i dont have to worry...fyi. Then rinse off in the shower, using soap to remove excess hair, and apply foam to areas if u wanna shave bald. Use yr razor, rinse often to see if u got it all. That's it, not too hard, you should be able to do it all in 30 min. or less. Personal note: this is just my opinion...I like my men to look like men, not like they are 15 yrs. old. If you are in your 20's or 30's and are hairy, I THINK THAT IS TOTALLY HOT. I know plenty of guys that feel the same way. Most men nowadays are starting to look like plucked chickens, and I think it's sad. I'll bet you're pretty sexy...would love to see some pix of that fur...yum!
