I took the
plunge.
Yesterday morning I shaved off almost all of the hair on my body. This procedure lasted for 2 ½ hours.
I'm pretty sure I took much longer than I should have to do this. The thing is, though, I didn't put any forethought into it at all. I just got out of bed,
stretched, relieved myself, and hopped in the shower with a cheap, plastic
Bic disposable facial
razor. I'd say it was a spur of the moment thing, but it wasn't. I'd wanted to do this for a while.
Of course, it wasn't the first time I'd shaved something other than my face. On two separate occasions I've shaved my
torso, and once before I've shaved my
pubic area. This might make some wonder what the big deal is if I've already shaved my
pubes. Here's the deal, while not everyone gets to see your
bathing suit area, they get to see your legs quite often. I didn't really want people to ask questions... I guess I'm just
paranoid that way.
One possible question is, "then why do it?". That one's easy. Although I'm a big fan of
fur, I really don't like stiff, ugly
hair that covered my legs and torso is sparse patches. I also knew that it would feel good to have
hairless legs. I love my legs to feel
sheer.. of course, I'll get into that in a bit more detail below. First, I'll try to hand out as much of my newfound experience as possible.
Ok, by now it should be obvious that I'm
male. Stereotypicaly I didn't stop and ask for directions before picking up the
razor, I just went to work. This probably was my worst mistake. After finishing my right leg, and halfway into my left, I realised that my
razor was too damned
dull to complete the job. I had to stop the
shower, run upstairs (shedding all the way) and get a new
razor so I could complete the job. This is why you shouldn't use
Bic disposable razors. Now, I'm not sure what type of
razor works best for the legs, but I can almost
guarantee that it's one specifically designed for them (d'uh..). (If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it if they would
/msg me with them.) For the chest, ass and underarms the facial
razors work reasonably well.
I said in the beginning that I didn't shave all of my body, but the
unaffected areas all have really good reasons for being left alone. First and most importantly is the
pubic area. Ok
boys, I've got to say that shaving off you
pubic hair fells
REALLY good, at least for the first day. At around the third day after being
shaved the area above the
penis but below the
belly button starts to get
incredibly itchy. At times it can be so itchy that it just plain
hurts. On top of that small red
pimple-like things start appearing all around that area.
Yikes. It's just not fun. So, this time around I conveniently forgot to shave that area.
Another still hairy area are my arms. Again, this is because I'm always
paranoid, and I almost always wear short sleeved shirts. I don't want to walk into
classes tomorrow and have to deal with
dumb questions. And, for reasons of
style, I also left my face and head alone. Other than that, they only excuse I have for not shaving my back was that I couldn't reach it :)
After I had finished
shaving, I stepped out of the
shower, dried myself, and put on some
clothes.
Wow. All the work I did in the shower was worth it for that one
instant. I had put on
silky boxers and fleecy lounge
pants as well as a sweat shirt, and I was in
heaven. The simple act of walking around felt
incredible. This feeling lasted for about 12 hours, then my
legs started to develop a bit of
stubble. It wasn't until this morning though, that the
stubble thing really started to kick in. My legs feel rather
itchy at the moment. Also, whenever I
shiver my whole body feel very
strange. I guess the
experience still isn't over yet. I'll keep you
posted.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the next step for me is going to be
waxing. Hopefully that will deal with the
stubble situation.. I guess I'll have to see.
Small update: Argh!!!! My upper and inner thighs have become covered with the little bumpily things! They're caused by the hair becoming ingrown, and they;re itchy as hell! Next time, I'm probably using
Nair or something similar.
