Does your friend's name begin with S....t....e.... by any chance?...
A friend of mind decided to shave most of his body hair off (chest etc)
He now tells me it itching like hell what should he do ?
Will it grow back worse ?
He tells me he has never done it before but just thought what the hell, if Beckham can do it etc
Should he have waxed ? (he isn’t touching his legs)
What do ladies and or men do with unwanted body hair or when they just feel like they should experiment ??
Im sure if its not you there must be ‘stories’ of your ‘friends’, doing stuff that has or hasn’t worked ??

Lots of options....
Shaving is perhaps the easiest option, but can itch
Hair removal cream (great stuff, but messy and can smell horrid, not always wonderfully effective)
Waxing - very effective, be careful of ingrown hairs & burns if you are doing it yourself. Pain can be an issue.
Sugaring - similar to waxing - usually done by professional
Depilation machine - similar to waxing since it's pulling out the hairs by the roots, but the pain lasts longer Can be cost effective.
Electrolysis - effective, but can take six months
Laser - quick, less painful than waxing, but expensive
CJ will surely have something to suggest about full body waxing...
On glancing through the new posts list, I misread this one as:
"Do you wax it??"
Suddenly feeling traumatised for some reason
[ Well Stewart, the best thing you can do is, exfoliate and moisturise. When using a razor, it can take off the very top layer of skin, then it heals over the hair follicle, which can sometimes cause in-growing hairs (and you don't want these )
The most effective and cheapest exfoliator (dead skin remover, to you) is ordinary granulated sugar, mixed with some form of oil, Olive oil will do but a scented massage oil with smell better. Do this in the shower!
Shaved hair always 'feels' courser! The reason for this is, when new hair starts to emerge from the follicle, it's soft and pointed and gets gradually thicker as it grows, but if you slice through a hair that's already up, you'll be cutting through it at its thickest part, hence the spiky, prickly feeling!Will it grow back worse ?
Waxing is good but i'd highly recommend you have this done professionally, as I've seen far too many mishaps in my time!Should he have waxed ? (he isn’t touching his legs)
The good things about waxing are, the hairs are ripped out, so you get a few weeks hair free. And when the hair grows back, they are 'new' hairs, which as explained before, are soft and fine, so hardly any bristles. The more you have it done, the less the hair grows back! Ladies who've waxed for years, have mush less re-growth!
The downside, it's painful and as FP said, you can get in-growing hairs, so, regular exfoliating is a must!
Laser treatment is very good but not suitable all skin types, the laser works by heating up the melanin (colour pigment) in the root of the hair, therefore destroying the follicle.What do ladies and or men do with unwanted body hair or when they just feel like they should experiment ?
So, the ideal combination is very pale skin and very dark hair!
It will have no effect at all on white hair and can cause severe skin damage to darks skins!
If you going down the laser route, you need to stay out of the sun for the duration of the treatment.
Anyway Stewart, for a novice like you, i'd start off with a depilatory cream, they seem to be the easiest and most foolproof, just don't leave it on too long! And don't itch you head, during the application!

Well I've been under the spatula and cloth strip before and had back and chest done - and I'm not half man half chimp, but by god is it nice.
No side effects just very smooth - feels great with someone elses hands on!
Am I the only one who thinks a hairy chest (on a man) can be rather nice?
