Thread: Body shaving

When I was spear fishing, regularly, I used to shave arms, legs, and chest. Okay, I guess that's just about everything. Made it easier (and less painful) to get in and out of my wetsuit. I used a de after my shower. I would just wet the extremity, lather it up, and shave it. It's easy once you get all the long hair off to maintain. You've got to be careful around your knees and elbows.

Now, as far as your area below the belt, I would not recommend a de. You really need a flat surface. I would personally get a disposable with a pivoting head. Ymmv.

Personally when I was powerlifting I would shave cause the wraps just tore the crap out of my hair. I used a DE or schick hydro. I would actually just use warm water and stand on a towel in front of the mirror, wet the snot out of the body part, lather, shave, then shower afterward. Never had a problem there, I would just rinse off and hit the NO NO bits w/ soap, b/c shaving soap and cream, are well...soap, so you would kinda be doing a traditional japanese bath of sorts I guess.

Yea do be careful shaving the knee area I have a nice big scare behind my left knee from shaving my legs with a straight.
May seem weird for me to shave their but the nice soft brush feels so nice on the skin.
