Who shaves?

[irishskinnydipper]

i started to shave to make my penis look bigger! now it depends on whether i'll be going to a beach or not - i normally shave most of it off before going to the beach - although with irish weather i probably need protection from the cold more than most so maybe i should stop!

I would have to call this lack of wisdom or simple ignorance.

[Joe M.]

I personally prefer the shaved look, simply because I had way too much to begin with. Before I shaved my chest and pubic hair, I kind of looked like a wookie. However the upkeep is a bit of a pain, since it grows back very quickly.

[NakedGary]

In reference to "MJ_KC's" Post and quote by "al1inaz" [Two previous]:

I agree with MJ_KC's comment about the Bare to Breakers Organization/organizers: "I would have to call this lack of wisdom or simple ignorance"

Bare2Breakers is a [Non Naturist or Nudist] group of "Demonstrators" who "Streak" in various forums of costume and nudity without much organization or authority within and among another Groups annual foot race across San Francisco from the bay to the breakers where the Organization "Bay to Breakers" state the following are PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES:

The following activities are not permitted. The SFPD may arrest or cite violators.

Public consumption of alcohol (including kegs, bottles, and cans).
Participating naked.
Roller blades, skateboards and bicycles are not allowed on the course.
Animals are not allowed on the course.
Plastic bags for warm-ups.

Being a Public demonstration by a group, police are notified and tolerate nudity on the race course only, organized by another group "Bay to Breakers" who are the organizers, host, and manage registration, promotion, media, and the event operation, pre and post events.

San Francisco and SFPD San Francisco Police Department is one of the most Nudist friendly and tolerant Cities in the United States, but only at pre arranged organized events, gatherings, and public demonstrations in certain pre arranged areas, such as Gay pride, Bicycle, Foot, Walks, Folsom Street event, Art, Environment, Energy, Medical, and others.

As you can tell from the excellent INA Clothesfree.com excellent multi-media coverage, reporting, and posting of video and images on http://www.clothesfree.com site and domains, Bare2Breakers does not have much authority, influence, or say in their negative comments on un-adornment, being un-painted, natural, being shaved, smooth, or hairless while nude at someone else’s event and media coverage.

Only recently since the "Bay to Breakers" event has Bare2Breaker group ever mentioned or related to the words Naturist or Nudist on their website in scorn, and envy of excellent and expedient multi-media coverage of "Nudes in the News" at another’s event before they could find media on their demonstration and disorganized but tolerated "Streaking" merged into and among another’s annual event called "Bay to Breakers"

This Bay to Breakers Participant hasn't been persuaded by Bare2breakers to be un-adorned, un-painted, or un-smooth! [INA Photo]:

[MJ_KC]

The Bare to Breakers people are crashing someone elses event and then they have the audacity to demand that people do things their way.

Sounds like they have too high of an opinion of their authority. It would be different if they sponsored their own event, but this is not their event. Other people might decide to crash the event themselves and have their own opinion as to how to dress or not dress.

I'm also a marathon runner and a cyclist and I feel that shaving my legs help, especially when running in shorts in the rain, the water does not cling to my legs as much so my legs don't feel as heavy (although this could be psychological).

Anyway, my wife likes me shaved and I do think I look better, although some people mmight think it's weird (or I'm weird for shaving all over), but no one has said yet. Then again, who cares what they think, it's my body and I should be able to do whatever I want with it.

I understand that swimmers in high school are told to shave. I read that somewhere. I have to agree, as there's nothing more disgusting than to watch a swimmer (even in the Olympics) who has body hair. I can see armpit and pubic hair, but the rest should be gone.

I am lucky not to do a hack job on my face each morning trying to shave in 3 minutes or less. I need to stay away from other parts of my body with a razor for my own safety.

[MJ_KC]

I shave because I prefer the way it looks and feels. It is as simple as that.

[Nude Tom 2k5]

I've just shaved my pubic hair off for the first time and I love it!

I love the way it looks and feels.

[T.L. L.A.]

I Shave, beacuse I like the look, not everywhere like some people, just where it counts, that really helps with the heat in the summer the less hair you've got the better!

[al1inaz]

I shave my face and trim my body. I am a hiker and I often suffer cuts and scraps. I hate how removing bandages and tapes pull the hair and how the hair can get into a cut and cause infection.

But I don't "shave". I don't want to look "endocrinologically challenged" if I have to go to an emergency room.

As a Jew I am commanded "not to harvest the corners of the fields" (which is why Orthodox Jews have those funny sideburns) so I guess once I got over not having paiyous (sp?) trimming became easier. grin>

[Tophatfrog]

What about other options? Nare, Wax, Tweezing? Anyone take part in those methods?

[BroNudist]

I just like to keep mine tidy & trimmed short everywhere. Ive tried shaving everything off in the past...it felt great, but I soon got tired of having to shave, cos once I shave a certain area, the next area would look funny if left unshaven...soon I'd have to shave every inch of my body that has hair...my back & legs included. It eventually became kinda hard to maintain & especially when its at the stubble stage, it kinda left me with itches & rashes. So with by trimming, all Ive gotta do is set the trimmer/clipper to a certain level & just 'mow' away!

[curmudgeon]

After years of itching, picking, scratching, etc., I've been shaving my pubic area for a couple of years. Feels SOOOOOOOO much better. I use a Seiko Cleancut and get no bumps, rash, or other problems. Once a month or 2 I use a blade to get started over really close. Applying Vitamin E oil for a couple nights after the blade shave takes care of any scrapes, nicks, etc.

just a question, do u guys shave the shaft and "sack area"? If so, how do you do it? (Dont think I'm a sicko, Im just curious)

[Bill D P]

I shave all my pibes and have been doing so for over 10 years. I will never go back to being hairy down there.

[FMII]

I find that shaving the private area definately has an advantage when exercising and especially when running. Prior to shaving, I experienced the hair around by scrotum to become very uncomfortable with the briefs that were a part of the running shorts. What a difference it has made by removing the hair. I am clean and no more uncomfort.

[Nemesis]

I like to be shaved there but I'm too lazy to keep it up so I'll just shave occasionly.

[nakednudists]

Damn, it itches after you shave there!

[Nude in the North]

Hmmm, I think it itches worse when it's not shaved. And I don't mean the stubble growing back. I mean it itched worse before I ever shaved it or when I don't shave for months.

Here's a couple shaving tips.

Take a Bath / Shower first. Shaving is easier when the hair is softened and oil free.

Clean the area well. This is the same for your neck as well as any other area. Shaving is going to remove some skin and possibly even cut the tops off of some tiny bumps on your skin. If your not clean they will become infected. That's one reason why you get the little red bumps all over the shaved area.

Use a NEW High quality razor. Areas that you don't shave often are probably going to have pretty tender skin. An old dull razor is going to cut you far worse than a new one.

Lather up. Keep the skin slippery so the blade slides smoothly over the skin. If your blade is pulling against the skin you need to re moisten the area or add more shaving lotion.

If you still have problems or discomfort then perhaps shaving just isn't going to work for you. But you might find that after several "shaves" your skin will become more accustomed to the blade and some of the discomfort will subside.

Good luck and be carefull.

Steve

[Oz-Man]

I think shaving of gentlemen's bits is frought with various dangers. As for me, a semi-regular (perhaps every 3 months) "trim" with a set of electric clippers with a number 2 comb attachment is about as risky as I get.

If I don't trim then I get to look reasonably unruly "down there" and greying pubes are definitely not a good look!!! I see it as a bit of a social necessity - after all, you wouldn't turn up anywhere important looking facially untidy, would you? On that basis neither should you be "groin-ally untidy"!

Cheers to all!

[NebTanner]

I totally agree with others who have said that after a while your skin toughens up and you get used to it. Really though, since I started trimming/shaving a while back, I don't have crotch itch like I did before, or for that matter the pain of hairs getting caught in clothes.

[Alex22]

I grew very little hair on my body,even in the pubic area,so I decided a long time ago to get rid of it.

[Marco1970]

I have started to shave over the past couple of years, sometimes all of it and sometimes just trim short, it is much better on the beach with all the sand and suncream. It dosent itch after a couple of weeks getting used to it. My Gf got me to do it for a start and she was always smooth. I'd recomend it to anyone!!!

This is an interesting topic I just came across. Definately a trend these days towards less body hair on men. Years ago you would rarely see men who shave, and those who did were considered a bit excentric. Now a days, I see lots of men who are removing ever increasing amounts of hair from their bodies. From a women's perspective, I tend to like the smooth look on a man. Just my personal preference, since if I took a poll amongst my female nudist friends, they would probably be 50/50.

FYI - when I first started to shave off my pubies, I too would get those nasty red bumps. After my skin got used to being shaven I stopped getting them. (Others on here have suggested rubbing alcohol and powder. I never tried the rubbing alcohol since I can only imagine the initial sting http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

A few times I shaved my legs, well technically I used Nair on them. But, now I just shave my pubic area, scotrum, etc.

[Cris]

I usually trim but sometimes, like today, i shave.. then let pubic hair grow again and then just trim.. so i go smooth about 3 or 4 times a year and trim the rest of the year.

[FMII]

http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif Ginger, one of the main reasons I believe you see more of the male gender shaving is that there are more of us into exercising. Therefore, shaving makes it much more confortable, especially if you are a runner, or swimmer. I especially, found it to be much more confortable. However, keeping oneself maintained in this fashion, requires additional maintenance(hygene).

I have shaved on and off for a few years, but encouraged by my girlfriend, started doing it steady about 3 years ago. I would like to shave my whole body but don't think its practical.

She likes it, I like it. Thats what its all about. Personal preference.

I have a couple of questions.
If I stop shaving and let it grow back, it takes about 3 or so months to get back to normal but doesn't seem as thick or as full. Is this just my imagination?

Second, it grows back, so why doesn't pubic hair have to be cut regularly like head hair?

[foux003]

Don't do it!!! If you don't like razer burn, you certainly will not like the chemical burn that Nair will provide you

[usmc1]

DPs such as Nair work well for some. Always folow the directions and skin test first. Pay attention ot the time limit.

Generally they do not work well on scrotum, it's too tender and thin and will burn quickly. Women of my acquaintance who use DPs, generally stuff cotton between their labia to avoid burning the inner lips. I guess the rule would be, don't put it where the skin is pink.

I prefer sugaring/waxing, DPs, shaving in that order.

But, again, follow the directions, patch test the skin 24 hours before using and do not exceed time limit and you really should have no problem.

You can't just slather the stuff on like sun tan lotion and leave it for half an hour and not encounter some problems.

[EricNY]

Nair is not made for the genital region and will burn on contact...There maybe some other products on the market that might work, but most tell you to not apply to the genital or anal region.

Go slowly and don;t skimp on the shaving foam

[codylechien]

You might want to consider shaving in the shower with water running. Continually keeping the area wet with the shower helps the razor go smoothly and reduces nicks. And, unless you're a hemophiliac, a nick would not be fatale.[QUOTE]Originally posted by bmolloy:

A question. If you continue plucking hair from one location, will the number of hairs that grow back decrease over time?

[nude_nike_swimmer]

Shave and love the feeling... FEEL MORE NUDE

[nudekid1]

I've shaved for about 2 years now and as i'm onlu 16 i suppose some people can't understand why i would want to remove my pubes. But it just looks so right, in fact, i'm going for a shave now..

[[Nick]]

as you can see

nope :-D

[FigmentFilms]

i dont shave, i trim

[NakedGary]

In a nudist environment:

Adults

Majority of women

Guesstimate 60% of men

Trim, shave or are smoothies.

[chris345]

I actually shaved yesterday it feels great!!!

[JohnE44]

I been shaving for about 7 months now I like the look and it feels coolerfor the summer last year I was not,My wife doesent mind

[hazelton]

I, myself, am a "smoothie". And, PROUD of that !

[tallynudistII]

i've shaved down there twice (for swim meets).. it itches like crazy, but it's inetersting to feel smooth there. i also love the feeling of putting pants on over fresh-shaved legs. however, i just like the look of my body hair.

[unclothed]

I've never shaved there before just my face.

[tallynudistII]

i would say to try it once... just to see what it's like. honestly, like isaid, i prefer the hair-- it just feels good.

[Unclothed Aubrey]

I shave it feels great

Unclothed aubrey

[P.J.]

Other than to shave facial hair, I prefer not to shave.

Some of my nudist friends do shave, but personally, I think that shaved pubic region looks too juvenile.

If anyone tried to convince me of the benefits of shaving, I would have to respond that I have such as bad aim with a safety razor that I just would not want to take any chances! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif

[Lee16]

I've been shaving for a couple of years now. I love the look and feel of it. I've shaved in the showers at the university gym before! Got some interesting looks from some of the dudes walking by. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

Having pubic hair doesn't necessarily mean you're mature! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif

I continue to be amazed of the non acceptance of those that profess acceptance of everyone, regardless of certain body decoration. Maybe I'm reading into your post but calling a fellow nudist "juvenille" just because they shave off their pubic hair doesn't seem to fit the open mindedness we expect from our textile counterparts. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[gymnoboi]

I've been shaving for several years now. Like most I find it more comfortable. I also think it looks better and is more hygenic. Unless its my imagination it seems to be catching on everywhere even with non nudists

[FigmentFilms]

first time yesterday...second time today, 50 years from now ill still be shaving

[barebum]

I trim pubes and shave shaft and balls!

[Denis Swiss]

pubes shaved several times, but after a deep cut and skin infection,last year, never try again....prefer keep my hairs now lol

[Ski Dude]

Shave my nuts keep pubes trimmed.

[Naked Kevin]

I've done every kind of shaving/trimming to my head, but I have very sensitive skin. Half the time I shave my face, I break out. I don't think risk nicking even more sensitive areas, and I'd hate to have that area break out. :/ So I just let it grow naturally. It never gets in the way of anything.

With my skin breaking out all the time, alot of people think I'm younger than I am, I don't need anthing else making me look any younger.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

At 68 just started shaving ball sack and penis Like the look and the airiness but a little itchy the next day.

[Zach]

Well guys and girls i have started to shave again and all i can say is i love the look and i can get use to the feel lol just wish i could get a closer shave but oh well lol.

[something]

I've been shaving since I was [age deleted by moderator], and I'd never stop.

[EVAN .C]

i only trim my pubic hair

[sportkid]

i dont have that much hair so i just trim up and keep it neat

[martini11]

I'm like sportkid. Don't have much. I only trim, it could be cool to shave though.

[webbguy]

I started shaving all pubic hair and I love it! It's a little harder to get behind my balls, but I just lay back and go slow.

[nudekid1]

Hey i'm [public display of age deleted by Moderator "NG" as per TOS] and i've been shaving those pubes since when they first turned up. God it feels great without them doesn't it? The naked, smooth feeling.
The frustrating thing is, its difficult to explain to freinds and other teenage guys seem to think its weird. They don't know what their missing do they?

Regards

Zac

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Something - Not sure I even had any pubic hair at 13 - but I do remember being really proud of the pubes when they grew in and certainly wouldn't have dreamed of shaving them.

I had to wait til I was an old fart to shave.

[nakedjohn]

Hairyballs,
same with me. Funny how you can change with time.

I try to shave but I don't do that good of a job.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Have shaved balls and shaft since mid-summer and decided to remove mat above equipment. I like the feel of it but am startled everytime I see myself in mirror. - Somehow I feel that puberty by-passed me. Haven't decided whether to continue with the naked look or not.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

As for time it really takes maybe one more minute to add on to my regular shaving tine. Use a vibrating Gillete razor in shower. Have only nicked myself once so far.

Shaving just has such a great feeling when you're done. It gives you a clean look, I shave now about once a week with a dry razor. Works well for me.

[Zorro]

I recently had gallbladder surgery, and it didn't occur to me until I checked the scars afterwards, but they had to shave my abs prior to surgery! It looks weird having black hair everywhere else except my abs, which is why I don't shave (other than my face, which I won't be getting to for another few months... it's that time of the year to grow a beard!). I've mentioned it before, but it would look equally bizarre to shave my pubic hair and nothing else, so it's gonna stay...

[emsdude]

I shave I like the way I look, like a new baby it makes me feel like a kid no hair and you don't feel old. I work out too and tan so I it makes me feel good, happy about me I think that were it at.

[nude guy101]

i hate shaving, i trim http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[bergler]

I have a lot of body hair and tryed to shave it because it caused me irritations in hot summer days - but I cut myself to often... Then someone told me to use a shaving cream - but it caused me even more irritations...
Well, I fear I'm a little clumsy...
Now I just trim my body hair - and I must say, I like it even more than shaved! It's in a way similar to any other body trim (workouts), it gives me the feeling to shape my body and to look the way I want, I like it!

[ClaireNaturelle]

Yes, I am shaving. I think that shaved bodies look neater and actually, I don't like to see a woman with hairy sex or armpits. But I understand that some women may like to keep their hair. It a personal business and everybody is free to shave or not.
I think that I will always keep shaving. I am fully shaved but may consider, later, to let a small amount of hair in the middle, as I think that it is nice looking too.

[bnudes]

This question overlaps the same question I just answered in "are u a smoothie" my answer is, I don't shave yet but I plan on it as soon as I think of way to explain it to non nudist friends. I think smooth is way better to look at,, seems cleaner too.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Have shaved everything below belly button for trip to Maui. I am not sure I like complete naked look but will keep it up for a couple of more months and make big decision then. I know I will always now shave balls and shaft.

[orange]

i usually trim but do occasionally shave when i feel like it/have the time.. but i use an electric razor and it sucks i need a new method

[nakedjohn]

Still shaves, and love the feeling. Easy and quick to do and much cleaner look.

[lockedandunloaded11]

I just started shaving and as a matter-o-fact, I shaved Just before I wrote this. It just feels alot better and lets you geet more in touch with your surroundings.

[shaneone]

I have been shaving my scrotum and perinium for about 8 years. I love how it feels. I also have been totally smooth on several occasions, but just trim really short mostly. Nothing more than it saves time. But I do like the smooth look and feel a lot.

[emsdude]

Like the way I look, so I shave have been number of years. You have too feel good about. keep it nude I have to go work hate clothes.

[chris345]

i do i love it, usually i trim but i shave about once a month its fantastic

[NakedJeeper]

I usually shave, but a cold handful of cream isnt to friendly. I do like the extra feeling of freedom it gives your.

[DMB]

I shave ! It feels much better without all that hair down there so I shave the whole pubic area. I also like the smooth look. I never like have hair down there!!

[Shavedinohio]

I shave from the neck down, my legs needed shaving when the avatar photo was taken. I love the look of a smooth body!

[Terry nude]

I have gone smooth for 3 years and really enjoy the look and feel.

[markusht]

I have been shaving for many years now and would not have it any other way. I sometimes just trim my pubs but I like to keep my dick and ball smooth

[Zara]

I did that once and didn't care for the look. I opt for keeping it neat and trimmed now. I do shave my chest and armpits though, I feel cleaner that way for some reason. Shaved my legs once, but didn't like that; I felt way too naked, and it was too much area to maintain regularly.

[nude_plumber]

Been shaving for 4 years now love the way it feels Was worried when we went to St Martin Oriant beach but after getting there found 90% shaved or at least trimmed.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

I did shave everything in pubic area and like the feel of it. However I have started letting the mat of hair below belly button grow and will keep it trimmed to a reasonable length. (With everything shaved I sort of felt like a plucked chicken!) The jewels and willy will continue to be shaved.

[BackpackerBrian]

Ugggh . . . just wondering . . . do any of you have something better to talk about than your dicks and/or pubes??? WTF???

Yes the subject gets boring when it carries on and on.

Since the "FAQ" category was suggested and implemented, it has not been utilized at all.

If I had the time I would like to try and list hyperlinks to the most talked about subjects as this one, then members would know or could be pointed to FAQ to find posts already on the subject. As it is now there is a lot of duplicate posting and waste of bandwidth as newer posters are unaware of the many threads on shaving, smoothies, etc.

My personal observation visiting resorts and beaches is that women have the highest rate of being smooth, shaving or serious trimming, with men probably around 50 - 60%.

Yesterdays Picture of the Day shows the volunteer Nudes in the nudes anchors are mostly smooth or trimmed, and Greg sporting a new freshly done smooth genital and pubes area. Completely a personal preference, but has some trendy following. The newest Nudes in the News from the falls and corky's new location will be published as Nudes in the News Video Edition number 169 in the next few days.

My girlfriend and I both shave together in the shower. She likes a landing strip and I trim my scrotum, around the base and my pubes into a medium sized rectangle.

I liked that alraeady a long time like lining the hair on my legs and chest with the shower- well that didn"t last long but looked nice to me but fel nasty this way -when trimmed- it still looks good and feels good aswel

[timothyc]

unfortuantely for the last almost 2 months i have been unable to shave anything other than my face. i badly broke my wrist and temporarily lost the use of my left hand. it is now improving but i still do not have enough use of it to try and use it for shaving and unfortunately i don't know of any way of shavong my pubic hair one handed. i will be glad when i can use my hand again and be able to get rid of all that hair. for the last 3 years i have been shaving regularly and now i have been forced to stop. i am not sure yet how long it will be before i get normal use of my hand back.

[chrisconn]

I started shaveing a few months ago. the scrotum, pubic area and rear. I shave in the shower ans so fare have only got a few bumps...so works pretty good. I tried an electric but it turned my skin into hamburger. I perfer a sharp 3 blade razor.

[Antal]

I been shaving for many years now it feels great I like how it looks on me. I don't know why ppl make a big deal about shaved or not look around you, you see all kinds of hair cuts on ppls head some have long hair some short some with color its what You think looks good on you.

[NudistMetalHead]

I shave my face weekly. Though I do sport some sideburns. As for down there, I just trim.

[The Ledgend Killer]

i have been shaving ever since i was about 15 or 16. i just love the feeling of it and i think it is a much better look overall.

[bikerboy]

You know you may be right for some of the places that you go. I on the other hand have and will shave for a very long while and do also go to clubs and resorts as well. I am not just sitting behind the computer as you say. As for this topic here, some that are interested in possibly shaving for the first time may actually get ideas and ways to do so without the irritating bumps or cutting oneself needlessly. If you don't like the topic, then why are you here? Let it be and as I say over and over when people start to argue and get angry "Can't we all just get along"!

Well i have shaved just little while ago and it was my first time doing it, it was ok but i really have no reson to keep doing it, i guess that i am going to what and see how i feal about it. i have no problem being hairy.

[owengovender]

I shave down their, well it just fells comfortable without hair.

THATS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!!!!

[nude_si]

when i was just starting out as a nudist i used to shave all the time but then i just got lazy and couldnt be bothered so now i just trim really short.

[MrNaturist]

I shave and I love the feeling of no hair. I actually feel more naked, more free with no hair, does anyone else have that same feeling? I also like the feel and the look much better shaved. Been shaving for around 2yrs and man I wish I started a long time ago!

I agree fully with you, more naked, adding the cleaning feeling is amazing! I have been a smoothie since 1982 when I had to do it before a vasectomy. I shave nearly everyday and love it

[new_neil]

I've had it waxed a few times, I kinda like the smooth feeling. Cant find anyone that does it for men at the min.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

I have been shaving "down under" for just over a year using a Gillette Fusion razor. Although it did an excellent job I was bothered with itch. I recently purchased a Phillips Bodygroomer and find that using it I have lost the itch. It doesn't work as well as the Gillette razor but to be without the itch makes it worthwhile.

Now I shave every day withthe bodygroomer and about once a week use the Gillette razor to fine tune it.

The bodygroomer is much slower and much is missed but at least you avoid the itch.

[Joethenudist]

i like to shave in the summer

[wingshot]

No shaving, just trimming here.

[Centauri4]

I used to shave except for the commonly referred to "landing strip" vertical portion, but my wife finds this a source of amusement so I am not currently keeping up.

Fuzzy: Is the Phillips' Bodygroomer one of those ripper-outers? Yikes!

[owl1]

who doesn't?

smooth is nice

[nakedjohn]

Still do and love it, no way back.

[Boz]

I just started shaving my body and I will never go back.

[James06]

Did shave my pubes once or twice in the past...
Well the feeling's good... but you do need the time...
Hence, have gone back to looking and feeling "natural"
Must admit, trimmed is best.

[eaglepeakpete]

I notice of the guests coming to our complex more and more are shaven, about 60% of men and 40% of women.

I'm gathering up my courage to do the same but it seems it will have to be a regular thing every other day or so,which could be a bit of a chore.

How often do you need shave and what are the tips for not getting a rash?

What are the benefits?

Thanks for you advice

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Pete I find that it becomes part of my daily ritual but probably doesnt take more than 2 minutes each morning. I first used a Gillette 3 blade razor which does a great job but I did get a lot of itch. Now I use a Phillips Bodygroomer which is slower and doesnt get all the hair (my hair is blond so easy to miss some). About every few days I polish it up with the safety razor. Very little itch now.

In a situation like yours would be great as you are probably naked most of the time. Great to have the breeze on the balls without it being hindered by the hair. It also does tend to emphasize your equipment and have heard others say that your equipment appears larger. I also find I dont sweat as much in the groin area or if I do it evaporates more quickly.

Give it a try and let us know what you think of it after a few weeks.

[Simon-new]

I tried to shave this last summer. When I wake-up for work at 3am I have a small amount of alone time. one time I tried to shave outside so the hair could just blow away in the wind. But, I wasn't sure how to do my scrotum. What do all of you us when the hair is long in that area? Also do you shave the arm pits also?

[GrayWolf]

Shaving the scrotom with a saftey razor works for me and at least a few others. Albeit, it's a three bladed womens safety razor that I change pretty darn often. Just as with all shaving, streach the skin fairly tight and have at it. I've found that stealing my wife's 'bikini bare' shaving loation and using a product called 'bump stop' after shave loation keeps the red 'bumps' away. After a couple of months you don't even need the after shave unless you've gone over the same spot too often.

[Fitz1980]

I shave down there, but not with a razer blade. I use an electric trimmer for my chest and my pubic area, as my pics on this site can show. I only do it every few days or so, more if I'll be doing something nude and outside, like going to the beach or a resort.

[sweetnudistgirl]

I usually just keep it neatly trimmed, I don't want to look like a 10yo or a wooly bully haha, I like to keep a nice balence of hair.

[miken]

I've been shaving now for over 10 years and really like the look and feel. The way my hair grows I have to do it almost every day because I hate the stubble. I shave in the shower using a 3-bladed razor. I just wish that there was some way that I could shave my own back.

[Natural Lee]

I have been shaving for 6 or 7 years. I really like the way it feels. I shave my scrotum, butt, thighs, and trim the hair above my penis.

[shaved couple jp]

hi, I started to shave with 18 and my wife soon after we got known to each other.
We like it both very much. I feels good and looks good as well. We feel more naked and free without, and it is clean.

[Julie&Andrew]

We both wax now rather than shave. There's a place near where we live that does both male and female waxing. Once you get over the initial embarrassment and pain it's a lot less hassle than shaving everyday. We vary our styles a little bit form bare to strips or triangles etc.
Julie

[smoothdnbelow]

Hey Julie and Andrew-
That sounds like the way to go. I've been a smoothy for a number of years and sometimes I wonder if waxing is the way to go. How often does this need to be done and to what degree of discomfort?

[yorkguy]

Have been shaving for a couple of years now - usually leave a very short patch above my penis and shave everything else - looks and feels so much better.

[shaved couple jp]

we tried both, but our first waxing was really painful. We know, that it does not hurt after you wax more often, but we did not try it again. Now we shave and it's nice. Feels very smooth.

[vanesa1017]

I too am a shaver. Love the look and feel.

[Julie&Andrew]

We get waxed once a month. I have to admit that it is painful, especially the first time. You definitely get used to it though and it's worth it for the results. Hubby found it embarrassing at first, baring all his bits to the beautician, but she's an ex-nurse so has seen it all before!

[smoothdnbelow]

Shave completely below and enjoy the feel. Would never go back !

[owl1]

i gets a little annoying after I while.

It do both I guess

[Richi]

47 pages! Well I been away, but I can read all that in one go...
so people have a lot to say about shaving then. Shows what you are thinking about.

Forgot am in my 20s now, but I do shave now, since most of this year. It was a change, a girl suggests it and you dont go back. Then with lake swimming in Germany, it just feels cleaner, so no animals can hold on or get caught...nice thought.
It also helps because I do modelling and I think for an artists model its easier to stick with form and not annoying detail that hair makes for.

Does anyone use ladies leg hair remover cream? I was going to try it next time.

[sixsigema]

i think unshaved will be better

You may want to read the label VERY carefully and heed the warning there.

Hey: I'm no beauty expert but I find a good, through exfoliation with some kind of gritty stuff, or a loofah makes the shave go best. I shave a lot, but am not a total smoothie. Anyway, a thought...allthetimenude

Thats ok, I wasnt serious, but since I looked and there's nothing so irritating (you have to be allergic) in there, there's no problem. Where do you have hairs growing thats so different to skin of a girls legs?
Maybe american products are more harsh?
Not to shave would be the correct natural way.

I have used nair in the past, and you just have to be careful is all. There is a new nair out there that is formulated for men. I haven't tried this one as of yet, but will I am sure one day. As for now, I am still using the Venus Breeze womans shaver as it is the best I have found thus far. Enjoy, and stay naked.

I think, the People looks better with hair. It is natural and lovely for me. But everyone should do what he pleases.

As a teenager I first tried trimming my pubes very short. That did not last long as I received a lot of comments in the locker room about the lack of hair so I let it grow for a awhile and just trimmed the edges. A year or so later I decided to trim the whole area again but not as short. After not getting any comments just kept trimming shorter and shorter then finally decided to shave completely.I have been completely shaved in the genital area ever since. The look and feel of having no hair is great!!!

[lockedandunloaded11]

i Used to shave but kept getting comments so now i jus trim it from time to time
i dont like it if theirs to much hair.

[Alanladd]

For the most part, I haven't grown very much hair on my body so I haven't felt the need. I suppose if I were a hairy naturist my answer would be different.

Doctor Surfr Dude, They did have a purple/pink beavers team at nudie Super Bowl at White Thorn this year.

I don't have any nudist friends my age, but based on conversations, it sounds like nearly all my non-nudist friends shave. I do too

[stevemathews]

I like to keep myself trimmed. have shaved all but is too hard to maintain it

[NudeTopher]

Wow! You must have way different conversations with your friends then I do. I can't imagine discussing genital/pubic shaving with my non-nudist friends. I was always worried they'd notice and say something those times I've shaved more then my genital/pubic areas - but no comments were made.

[tanmatt]

fully shaved here

I just trimmed almost all the hair off of my arms in addition to the rest of my body hair being shaved. I did this because I have been getting numerous blood tests and every time the tape or band aid is removed, it was ripping out a bunch of hair. Not my idea of fun.

My response if someone asked me would be to tell them the specific reason or to just tell them that I did it because I felt like it.

[young_naturist911]

i don't shave...don't really see a point to

[smoothdnbelow]

There's no better feeling than being smooth. Love that clean smooth look!!

[rikkiann]

Ive been completly smooth since my early teens. Just think its cleaner and looks better

[Dail17]

I prefer a trimmed look but it's such a hassle! And if you don't keep up on it then it get's all the worse. I wish there was a long term solution...

There is a long term solution; if you really wanted you could get yourself lasered. Of course, it's expensive and it's permanent. Will the day ever come when any of use would ever want hair again?

[Bobby Hill]

Why Shave ?? Pubic Hair has to be there for a reason.

[piston555]

shaved around the genitalis and pubic hair above is kept VERY short (near shaved). I like the feeling and the look.
just my 2cents

[d_sarnoff]

have shaved for like 20 plus years. You know you are comfortable doing it when you don't even think about your annual physical at the doctor's office. My wife prefers likes things smooth. First time I went skinny dipping with a family member I was a little nervous but nothing was said. The next time the opportunity arose at the family swimming hole, not only was I smooth so was the brother-in-law.

[John-The-Great]

I shaved that area once and I am never doing it again. I didnt like the way it looked plus I got all of these weird red bumps. Personally I dont think guys should do it just because it looks weird however I think for a girl it looks good eithier way.

[brightswimmer]

I do shave just for the comfort reason, like no pubic hair means no ichness.Also it;s kind of the fad modle for nude resorts I guess you could say that.

[nakedjohn]

I did yesterday, it feels great again, was not easy with one hand, it just took a little longer.

[Josh-here]

I have NEVER shaved. I like things the way nature intended. I have trimmed a bit a couple times just to see what that was like.

[countryguync]

I shave just around the base of my penis and my scrotum. I started after having surgery for a cyst on my tailbone back in '76. I figured since I had to keep my backside shaved or risk a recurrance of the cyst I might as well shave my genital area too. In the summer I shave my whole front, chest and belly and pubic.

I love the look of any female with a shaved or closely trimmed pubic area. It just looks more appealling. :D

Ya'll take care. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[SilentJ]

I first shaved when I was around 19. Then only did it about once a year for the next 10 years. For the last 3 or 4 years I have kept my chest and pubic area shaved, except for a few occasions where I thought I'd let it grow back. Last summer I visited a nudist resort when my pubic hair was at the longest it had been in years and I actually felt kind of weird, like I was trying to draw attention to the area. Not because everyone else was shaved (I wasn't keeping track), but I guess because pubic hair doesn't feel natural on me anymore.

[dbandme]

We do it for cleanliness. being nude around the home tends to leave pubs around the home such as chairs, rugs, etc. we have a dog that does don't need a hubby doing too. lol

[Pizzaguy]

I'v been shaving pubic area since 1990 - when a girlfriend first saw me, she said,"OH, Mark - that's not attractive." She gave me a haircut there!

I'd never even thought about it - I shave every 2-3 weeks and let it grow out a bit, don't keep it always bare, but do maintain it.

And with nude hiking, I don't want any areas that could hide an intruder! (But with 40% deet all over, no little visitor wants anything to do with me...)

I also shave my, ummm, backside from time to time - since seeing part of an autopsy where the poor dead guy had a FOREST in his .......... well, you know. Looked AWFUL!

[Triton]

No razor has ever been below my neck line...never will.

[Eric6420]

The trend for men to shave their bodies is quite new in heterosexuals, and I rarely see men without pubic hair in nudist campings in Quebec.

[Georgia_Nude]

I had to shave a little bit when I went to the dermetologist last year...just my luck I get a woman doctor! I had her remove a mole on the upper left portion of my pubic area that was giving me concern. Normally I don't mind but since the rest of what I had was what naturally had come in during puberty... after that I've started thinking about it, especially since my follow-up is in about 4 months. Might trim down just a bit soon then keep it that way to get used to it, look a little better. I'm sure she's seen it all and is used to it but then again who knows!

[jippison]

Hello all. i have been shaving my body for three years now. i love the look on me, during the winter though i do let it grow out alittle, but i find that i shave it off because i dont like it on me.

[Naked In Florida]

I started shaving 10yrs ago, and I am addicted. I can't stop, shave every single day. I personally think it looks better!

[TXNUDE]

I shave off and on. Usually shave in hot summer months. I trim my chest, shave my stomach, pubic hair, penis shaft, scrotum and sometimes backside.
