shaving is like showering or washing your clothes, again what's the point, it's just gonna grow back again, at home i shave everyday, i hate shaving ahhh, on the trail i'll go 2 months without shaving, after my hommes i came home with a full grown beard, shaved it all off, feels different, it's just something that i don't like worrying about, and weekend trips really don't make a difference,
shaving is overrated

OK I have been slapping my hands so I would not write this--methinks that a fellow with a beard--well... it is hard to tell one end from the other--kinda furry with a pucker place in the middle....don't want to kiss it

SHAVE?!!
Ya'll that know me know I'm shaved bald...by choice...then the chemo got the remainder of the hair...ALL of it...the body hair is recovering beautifully, but the head is still as bald as ever...the hair just won't grow back, so i'm back to shaving the scrub brush that does grow in patches.

The best shave I ever saw was a guy at the Montana State vs. Montana Football game with a big MSU shaved into his BACK HAIR!

I like facial hair on a guy.

Funny you mentioned that, Snow Nymph - I registered for a charity bike ride that I do each year and yesterday I got my number - 69. Something just doesn't seem right about pedalling across the state with the number 69 on my ass, so I requested a different number. :)

Shaving on the trail is forbidden by law.

My marriage license # the second time around was 69. We just knew it was fate then.

I volunteer to be the one to shave you. Its a job that not too many men really want to do, but, I'm up for it. I've been in training camp and doing my excercises and, well frankly, rather excited for the prospects and potential outcome of events. Gimmee a shot, I won't dissappoint.

Stikmon, while I appreciate your generous offer of what seems to be some well developed shaving skill, I will have to pass. Generally, I like to stick to shaving myself. There is inherent danger in letting a man (excited man) wield a razor around you. I would prefer to avoid this danger . . . and its potential outcomes at all costs. Again, thanks for the offer.

TO understand the rest of this post, you must accept the premiss that women do a lot more with their razor in the shower than simply shave.

1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . Okay. For those of you who are still with me, have you seen the tv ads for the new women's razor? I forget the name (maybe Venus or something). The music in the background is that song "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire, My desire" (or whatever). An the ad shows a line of women lying in the sun crossing and uncrossing their legs sort of like the ROckettes.

1 . . .2. . . 3 . . .. Okay. For those STILL on board . . .Check out the shape of that razor handle and tell me the designers didn't do a lot of focus group research before hand. Holy Mackerel. Not too subtle.

LOL! LOL! Lyra, that was hilarious. Lee had a good point though, do you men really understand how hard it is to shave all these areas. Men have a face to shave and that is it. It takes some major time to get all that shaving done.

hehe! have you seen the H.E. commercial with the woman's "shampoo," and then the man's "shampoo"? now THAT'S hilarious!!

Not only do we just have our face to shave, but it's also acceptable in most circles for us to not shave and let it grow.

Glad I don't have to shave a bikini line or my knees....ugh...

Let me see if I got this right! When us men shave, it is an accomplishment! When you ladies shave, it is an art form! LOL

I am gald I only shave my face. It would be way to dangerous to shave in other areas.

Bit, think how it would be if it were (across the board, since I realize some people do accept it) acceptable for us to let it grow. Yucka!

venus shaver
so instead of flowers and wine on a first date, I should give the prospective date a new venus razor...cool!! Choice, thats what a man needs, more choices.

I'd prefer the Gillette one w/ flowers and wine.

I dunno newgie, if all women didn't shave, we'd probably be used to it. Might even think it was sexy.

I have known a few guys who liked women to be a little more hairy than the "acceptable norm"

I like 'em smooth and silky. Call me idealizing advertising but hairy legs on women??...bleech!

I agree Rosey. I couldn't stand myself. You should have seen some of the women at lakes in Germany. Skeery!
newgirl

LOL!

I'm sure with proper socialization, braided underarm hair on women could be considered sexy.

Silky smooth is my preference as well, but to be honest, I ain't that picky. Not that it matters; I'm married.

If I haven't mentioned it before, my wife is German.

My personal experience is that if a woman has never shaved her legs or underarms, there isn't really a lot of hair there to mess with. Once you start, though, be ready with the weed-whacker!

I don't have a problem w/ German women not shaving, Phaedrus. I just couldn't believe it, I'd never been around it. It isn't my personal pref. You may be on to something about the more shaving, more hair deal.
newgirl

By the way, not all German women don't shave.
