What sucks the most about the shave is that once you did it, letting the hair grow back is a pain. Kept getting stuck in shirt fabric as it came back.

It's a habit; shave 1X/week entire body not including back. Back is 1X/month.

another thing is that i tried the nair for men speed hair remover and in 5 min jumped in the shower and boom almost all the hair is gone. touch up with a razor. i shave legs once a week, upper body every other day or so. i might try that venus razor as reccommended above(not gay) my wife swears by it.
im going from fat to not in a flash so don't blink

I personally like the shaved look year round. I just feel better that way....for some reason, it makes me feel like I'm in better shape, feels like my muscles are bigger and feels like I'm leaner.
I'm also just not a fan of body hair.
So, year round shaving for me....aside from legs at time because it is so much work.

So, when I started bodybuilding, I shaved everything off since that was what I was seeing at my local gym (pretty serious bodybuilders there). Now that I'm out of that scene (but still lifting at home) I'm starting to find that shaving everything looks a bit much.
So, I stoped bodyshaving altogether (except for my bits).
But now, I've got these big bushy arm pits that look ugly when I pose. Should I trim my arm pits down?
Do any of you guys here just trim down your arm pits instead of shaving them clean?

I was chatting about this to by lifting buddy who ended-up telling me that he's been shaving his chest and abs for years now. I had no idea. My next step is to start triming my arm pit hair. I personally think that men have body hair, even though I undersand why bodybuilders shave all over for competitions. But right now, evertime I flex in the mirror, all the I see is my big bushy arm pits. So, I'm going to trim them down with clippers just to make them less obvious and bushy.

Definitely during contest prep, I shave everything. As it gets closer to contest time, having hair over your abs, legs, arms, etc. makes it very hard to judge your physique and make sure you're on track. Also, like you said, it is a nice motivator to see those veins, striations, etc. show up a bit more.
During the off season, I'm undecided. I think I may leave my face alone and continue shaving the arms, arm pits, abs, legs, lower back, etc etc.... I feel like growing facial hair in the off season is extremely B.A. haha!My website:
