I've considered shaving my legs as I'm about half as hairy as Chewbacca and I would like to get the ladies point of view.

If you're going to go hairless, wax - don't shave. Nothing 'unsexier' than body stubble on a man.

One word: Ouch!
I still can't figure out how the ladies can stand to pour hot wax, let it cool with a cloth strap, and then yank the strap off (w/ the hair). And yet, some of those same ladies can stand the sight of a furry rodent. ![]() Nonetheless, I shutter at the thought of it. Granted, I might have to face that in the future if my future spouse has serious objections to a hair back. After all love can make people do some rather incredible things that normally they wouldn't do. However, on a more informative point. If one has already done the waxing, information about cost and duration before returning would be good for other readers. -Chi |

Why not just shave your name and emergency contact numbers in. Then you always have ID on you.

Dear Chispa60 I'm a licensed Aesthetician/Electrolysis. The cost depends which part of the body being waxed. Back $35.00 to $40.00 Legs $55.00 to $65.00 Any hair plucked or waxed off the body will grow back between 4 to 6 weeks. Laser hair removal is semi-permanent while Electrolysis is Permanent. In my business I do treat a number of men mostly for back hair some for leg hair. I hope his helps. |

I would not recommend staying hairy. I have seen some nastey falls and a lot of skin removed due to having body hair.
Waxing is the go. Yes it does make you a bit, but hey its over and done with quickly. Plus after you have waxed you will have a smooth body for at least a month. Often the roots of the hair follicles are pulled out too, and this reduces the amount of hair re-growth. If you shave your hair will grow back quickly and you'll probably have to shave it more frequently than your face. |

It not totally true even by pulling the hair root out of the follicle it will regrow.The follicle has to be killed by electrolysis to prevent regrowth. Over time waxing and plucking will cause the the hair to grow larger. By plucking/waxed hair cause a small micro wound to the follicle both blood and the angine hormone flow to the wound. Its like fertilizing and watering your lawn. Shaving does not increase hair growth but when you cut the hair shaft close to base the daimeter is larger. As the hair grows it appears courser. In waxing as the hair reachers the skin surface the point of the hair is finer but the longer the hair the larger the diameter. Another point is that only appox 50% of your hair is on the skin surface at any time. |
