I prefer the "shaved" male also!! Us chicks have so much to maintain to keep ourselves up so a small price for a guy to pay to keep his kitty happy !!
I shaved my chest for the first time a few weeks ago and DO NOT recommend it. When it grows back it itches like crazy. Sure the first few days are pretty horrible, but then a month later when it's still itching it will drive you insane! I'm going to assume if you constantly shave it then it will be fine, but that's a lot of work for some of us. I will probably give the clippers a chance next time. Sounds like a much better idea.
I've manscaped my netherregions for some time and have nooo trouble there, but this new chest thing is a deal. think I'm gonna just let it grow back... Laurie wants me to for sure...
It is amazing some of the "hair" brained ideas Terry comes up with. He asked me before he did it and I said no. He had nice, soft chest hair. Now he looks like a kid with boobs and a belly. It is better than when he shaved his head though.
If manscaping was more popular, then Gillette and Schick would have come up with the proper utensils by now... can only imagine the late night commercials....
