Losing the body hair - help

Synpax

Well-known member
Ok, I have decided it's got to go. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm between a 7 and an 8. It's heavily on my chest and legs, moderatly on my back. Not too much on my arms.

The reason it needs to go is:
1) It takes me forever to towel off after a shower. I shower 2x or more aday, and I can't ever seem to get dry, esp on the back.
2) I'm starting to swim competitively and I know there is a drag coefficient.
3) I already sweat much more than the average person, and I know this hair on my body doesn't help. It keeps my body temps up. Apparently for every degree you are over 60 F, you loose a second on your mile. I don't want to be at a disadvantage.
4) I'd really like to see my mucle development.
5) I'm sure the ladies at the track are tired of looking at my hairy back pass them by.

So how do I do it, relatively inexpensively? Nair? Go to someplace and get it waxed? I don't have a huge amount of cash, and I'm sure that with almost any solution it's going to be coming back pretty quickly. I'm the kind of guy who has a 5 oclock shadow around noon and I need to shave 2-3 times each morning to look clean cut.

Any suggestions?
 
I feel your pain, except for the back hair part. If you are thinking about wax that is going to get really expensive for chest/back legs/arms stomach?

What I do is use trimmers on my legs/arms/and chest. I just put it on the 3 guard. It works pretty well for thinning it out. Looks 10x better. You might wanna try first, it looks a little more natural than smooth legs. Other than that I shave my stomach area, which is a bitch. I hate shaving. Razor bumps, etc. are a huge pain in the ass too.


No experience with nair. You might wanna get some opinions on that. I need to try it.

Yeah, I know you want to drag your nails through it

Seriously though, once a month - legs and back/ass and chest would be really expensive. And I wonder how the Korean woman would react when the one eyed monster gave her a salute.

Can't I use nair or that other thing where you just rub it on and then use the plastic no-blade razor?
 
yeah sure if you want to do it everyday, morning and night. you said it yourself, your regrowth is quick.

not that expensive, quick but painful.
 
I will give you guys pics. They are a little old and I am a little fat, but they are coming. I'll do a before/after. It will also be good for before cycle, since I'm going to pop the cherry in October.
 
Synpax, I feel your pain. I am a gorilla. I am officially the hairiest guy at any party, beach, etc. The other hairy guys stare in horror and count chromosomes. I make Austin Powers look like a native american. It's that heavy on my back, arms, legs, neck, basically neck down I am 3/4 inch matt of fur.

I do contests for bodybuilding. Haven't done serious comps or bodybuilding in years. But re-entered the scene 2 years ago again, and am entering a contest, masters div and several smallers this year. So the hair, which is even worse than 20, has to go.

First of all, don't listen to brunette. Waxing does NOT WORK on a moderately hairy man, let alone heavy. My friend did this and was out the whole season with staph infected ingrowns. Also, nair only works on blond, fairly hairless guys. Nair and hair magic could not even remove my forearm hair, expect in blotchy spots. Nads and waxing are only useful for the back because I can't reach those areas without help.

The only viable solution for a hairy man is shaving. I have to shower in the am. The I shower now after the gym too and shave my body on a 3 day split. chest day 1, shoulder/arms/pits day 2, legs day 3. I have stubble about 2 hours later, but even at 3 days out the stubble is invisible from about 2 feet or further. I was actually pretty pleased with the results. It takes about 1 hour the first time, then 30 min touch up each day once you've tackled the initial mass. It is nice to see my body, and I am not embarassed to take off my shirt. I am 215lb 9%BF and I've been embarassed to take off my shirt or post pics because I looked like a monkey. It's is great to get rewarded visually for your work. Once you've shaved down laser supposedly works well, but that is really expensive. For us guys, shaving in season is the best solution. Off season I will be monkey-man again, because it sure is a lot of work. . .

Good luck fellow ape-man. And take the plunge to develop a body shaving routine, I think you'll be pleased. When you are really hairy like us (if you are white that is) ingrown hairs are actually very rare with shaving. It's easy, hands-on and cost effective. Most of these cosmetic shops are not used to dealing with monkey-men and they will fuck you up quick with tools inappropriate for you sex.
 
Synpax,
Nair- Too weak, and it doesnt remove the bulb of the hair folicle, basically like shaving.
Waxing- Hurts like hell, can get expensive, unless you buy a do it yourself kit. Can get special lotion to eliminate ingowns. And no Nad's does not work, its too weak of a wax and doesnt grab on.
Shaving- Bumpy, grows back thicker/stronger and the same day.
Laser- Expensive, but you are completely without hair for about a month, then comes back a little thicker. 2nd time you do laser it starts to get thinner. it takes about 6 treatments to get rid of hair, each treatment for example: forearms/shoulders/back/chest- $800

What I am going to try now is waxing, then treating the area with a type of lotion, such as in the link below:

hope that helped, unfortunately we are not left with many more options that the ones listed above. If someone does know another option please let me know.

Nair IS AMAZING. I use it practically everywhere, you just need to figure out how long to leave it on depending on the area you are doing and the thickness of the hair. Go buy a couple bottles of nair for men, lube up, leave it for about 12, scrub with loofa, and you'll be smooth as butta mang!
 
geez this is starting to suck.

So 2400 for lazer (4x800)? That is beginning to look more attractive

but pointless for you if you're planning to cycle at all in the future (and I believe I read a post that said you were)

I think it was tiger88 who called and asked and they told him it would be a waste of money because AAS will cause a regrowth of the body hair.
 
Some updates. I was going to recommend an electric razor called the panasonic groomer. It worked great on my legs, both in minutes. But two days later I was stunned at the thickness of the regrowth, shaving much better in reality. But this product is great for the first swipe, for sure.

Shaving works great, but every day is a serious pain. Waxing did not work for me, or nads. It really looks like laser is ideal, but I just can't fork that out, and my wife wants me to look like a man when I'm not competing. But in general, minus my needs on the issue, laser is definitely the best.

Is there a nair for men? I thought nair was nair . . . Again I am too thick for it, but a little blond guy who competes lightweight can get away with it. I wonder if I could touch up with it to lower my shaving frequency. I am still curious.

Brunette -- you caught me espousing a myth on waxing bump -- my bad. You are right. It's just that waxing doesn't it grab it all well when it's too thick. That would be more accurate.

And shaving of course doesn't change the follicle. Very old myth.
 
lol dude, just got some at the store . . . will try it now on my regrown chest. Let you know in hours. I am seriously debulked on the hair thing, so it might work now. I will see how it hits my chest regrowth.
 
well, cancel the nair for men. . . Left it on full time 10min and the hair just laughed. Nothing wiped. I got a light chemical peel for my trouble and had to shave anyway. Waste of time. Real men simply need to shave. My wife says nair doesn't even work for her . . . It is not likely to work for synpax from his description.
 
Right now im using 'magic shaving powder'. It is like nair except you have to mix the powder yourself. It worked better than Nair, a whole lot better. I didnt even need a loffa like with Nair, just took a shower and hair fell off. My only problem is, using Nair or Magic, is its just like shaving and i get bumpy in a couple of days...

btw the hair removal kit i mentioned previously is in the mail, so i'll let you know.
 
see that's the problem.

I'm one of those blond skinny dudes majutsu is talking about, except I got really fuckin thick hair all over my body, cept for back (which I am thankful for, but I'm only 20 so who knows how that shit will grow in, in the future.)


fuckin shit. I guess we are fucked. If the bumps come from nair then I guess we are done.

Hey, did you exfoliate, soak in hot water, and then use it? Some simple things that may help.....
 
I just went back to shaving. I'm going to shave on a 3-day split. I'm done experimenting. Shaving works. They've been doing it since ancient greece. I guess it's just one more thing I need to do to look my best. The chemical burn faded, which is good as I was really worried. The chest now just has 40 little bumps, but it looks 10x better than yesterday, so I'm sure it'll clear out.
 
shaving is evil... get your GF a wax kit and teach her how to do you... maybe she'll be into hearing you scream...

wax, expensive but worth it!

no ingrowns, regrowth should be around a month.

back hair, eek, that's so primitive.
:rainbow: I agree, waxing may cost more , but in the long run it's well worth the price. Where I live, I can do my whole body ( full legs, butt, back, chest, and crotch) for around $250
It hurts like &*%@....but you will be smooth as silk, if its done correctly :D
 
What I'm going to do is get a trimmer and trim it all way down and then use "Magic Hair Powder." I'll do before and after pics.

Babybodybuilder2.5 - how often do you have to have it done? How much less is it if you want them to leave some of your crotch hair?
 
I tried nair a few more times, with a big zero. Don't like it at all.

For shaving, I settled on a Mach 3 and Skintimate lotion. It works great, especially legs, underarms. I am still not happy with the chest. It shaves well. But the hair is like 1/8" the next morning :( I am going to try Magic Hair Powder on the chest, will buy some today and let you all know. Also, the top of my thighs get some folliculitis, but someone recommended Bikini Zone for this, and it works great! It's just my chest and forearms that grow too quick; I need something a little longer lasting. Or less irritating at least. I'm hoping the magic hair powder works.
 
I use the veet bladeless razor system,it works great,if I exfoliate I get no ingrowns at all,and it keeps things alright for about 2 weeks, and Im a hairy bugger, occasionally I use the veet sensitive skin wax and it works great on my back.

I also agree nair sucks,but veet is a totally better product and I never get chem burn from it like nair
 
Oak I almost bought the veet, as old search posts turned up your rec. Is that the one with the can and the bladeless plastic razor? Looks good. I am going to try the magic powder in 1/2 hour or so.
 
yupp thats the stuff,and once I got one set I kept the plastic razor and use their european formula and in 10 mins it comes off easy as pie just like the canned stuff

for me magic powder made my skin burn within the first few minutes,but my skin is super sensitive
 
Burned and blistered :(

Damnit -- probably be a week, seeping blisters.

I'm going to try veet or just razors with good anti-bump post shave.

Synpax, I get it done about everyother two months. As for as the priceing. That comes with the total body price. I do not get all the crotch hair removed. I'm not totally smooth..lol
 
I tried the lotion on the area of my chest the broke through my neckline - it seemed to work pretty well. One area was a little red for a day but it left.

Seemed to work well, but I can't find the friggin magic powder stuff.

what lotion? nair? how long did you leave it on? nair for men? or just regular nair
 
Whatever you do, don't use nair for men unless you want massive chemical burn and a shitty job at removing the hair. I have no idea why they came up with that stupid shit as it's fucking horrible. I don't know why they needed to change the formula for guys. Stick with the regular nair and you should be fine.
 
i tried those 'wax strips' not really wax more like those sticky fly catchers but you put on ur skin and rip off, lol

they didnt work that well but on the areas it did work on i'm quite impressed. where i shaved it is probaly 1/16" long and nothing showing where the strips worked. left me with some sunburn like skin for about 3 days but i think that might be cause i shaved the rest off and went right over it 10 minutes after using them but thats is cleared up pretty well now

i also used it when hair was like 1/8" of a inch (1 weeks growth, usually when i shave) and the box said at least use on 1/4" so that may also be why it didnt work to well for me

i am definately going to let it go for about 2 weeks or so maybe more then do the REAL wax

btw pain sucked but it was tolerable
 
these were by sally hansen... you rub them in ur hands to warm the wax then peel them apart and u have 2 strips to use

i have no ape back so i just went with the chest/tummy
 
For those that get the wax done at shops ? do they do the whole butt? Scrotum ect? How about the shaft area around the wang?
 
Whats the minimun length hair needs to be for wax to be effective? The worst thing about having body hair is when i get a 5 oclock shadow!

:rainbow: When I get a full body waxing, the place I go to does the entire butt. (Everything...if you know where I mean) Including between the butt, and the crotch area. I get all the pubic hair removed, and the surrounding area, but that's my preference. You can not get the shaft or the scrotum waxed. The skin is way to thin, and it could cause damage.
Well that's how it's done where I go. I'm sure each place will remove as much hair as you would like. I asked alot a questions before I went, I suggest you do the same.
Good Luck to you if you decide to get it done.

guys laser is worth it !!! spend it now and never worry about hair again (after like 5 treatments)

AAS will cause it to grow back. Plus I may wind up with a woman who prefers it.

Man I don't know if I have the guts to walk into a place and ask for that kind of a wax treatment. How much would it run?
 
I got the magic shit, here try this:

Veet Mousse Hair Remover, green can, DOES NOT HAVE ALMONDS ON IT, it is the "with moisturizing vitamin e & aloe vera" . the one with almod extract gave me terrible burns. so spray it on, it has to be done in the shower though, or it will burn, then leave it on for 18 minutes (i know it says 10 but trust me on this one) then loofa the fucking shit off gently in warm but not burning hot water, with the loofa nice and soapy with dial or dove moisturizing body wash...try that shit, it works perfectly for me
