that's funny since i did that exact same thing one day. i don't have really dense chest hair but when it gets long it looks a bit ridiculous so i usually use a beard trimmer that i bought for my side burns. i was sitting on the couch stropping my razor as i knew i was sahving in the morning and i thought " hmm i think i will test out how sharp this thing is on my chest hair". it was sharp, and the bald patch on my pec looked ridiculous, so i shaved the whole thing. it was real easy, maybe cuz my hair isn't really coarse. i even managed my rippling abs

.
BTW my girlfriend really liked it for some reason, that in itself is enough incentive to do it every so often.
