Hairlessness

Triathlon Forum

To all you hairless ones out there. a few questions:

  1. How do you achieve such hairlessness? Razor? Cream of some kind?

  2. How hairless are you? Everywhere?

I haved my legs not long ago. Only for the second time. I feel a bit goofy so am letting it grow back.

3

I use a razor, I have tried other methods (Nair etc.) but can’t stand the smell and hassle factor. Also, most of that stuff requires you let the hair grow out first and I can’t stand stubble so I shave every day. For me, it is chest, legs, and back. I don’t have a lot of hair on my back, thank God, but what is there I shave or at least get my girl to shave for me.

Oh if someone has found a way to keep the clean shaved feel / look with something besides the razor, or some expensive laser therapy I would love to hear it.

wax job? Never tried it, but I’m thinking about it. As I get older I find I’m tending towards gorilla.

wax job? I didn’t try wax exactly but it was one of those products that tears out the hear so basically the same. Holy! you should try it once just to experience the eye watering pain. I always considered myslef fairly tough with decent pain tolorence but nah, that stuff is insane. I have been told by girls that if done by a pro who know how to do it that it is tolerable. BS.

I tried a couple spots including my leg, back and part of an arm just to test if any part was better and it was all horrible and left my skin red for an hour.

Razor - hell I shave my legs three times more than my face. If I thought that I would not get made fun of I would even shave my arm pits.

This is all so very interesting, keep 'em coming

If you do shave and find that you don’t like it, how long does it take to look “normal” again?

who said any of us could ever look ‘normal’

I use an electric razer, maybe not as close a shave as a blade but it’s fast. Only takes me about 10 minutes.

11

Cream: Aveeno natural oat-stuff, pretty good.

Razor: Gilette Mach 3 (tha bizzle)

I hit my legs, stomach, chest all the time, almost daily. I ain’t trying to end up an old, fat, hairy Italian guy. I’m gonna be old, skinny, and religiously shorn, my man. And tan, too. I do it for no other reason than it makes me feel faster, and I’m a vain primadonna.

I use regular razors and electric depending on the mood I’m in. Electric is nice 'cause you can watch TV at the same time. I shave legs only.

13

Razor suck. One word: Veet

I shave everything except under speedo line in the shower daily. Cream rinse works great for lube to shave with. The best razors I’ve tried are the Intuition: wierd looking but really close shave and doesn’t even feel like you are shaving. It feels like you are using a bar of soap) or the Venus and the Mach 3 for my face. Crop shave underarms periodically to about 1/2" with the beard trimmer on my electric razor. Got a small shaving mirror in the shower for my face. If you work this hard to have a nice physique why cover it up with a bunch of hair?

I’ve been shaving my legs longer than my face. Tried Nair once and didn’t like it. Had a buddy who swore by his Epilady, but I’m scared of that thing.

I use a Mach 3 razor and hair conditioner (as opposed to soap or shave cream) in the shower. Just the legs and enough so I don’t have anything sticking out of my Speedo.

16

Just had my back waxed yesterday for the first time (beach season, figured it was time). Um. Ouch! It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be but it wasn’t eating ice cream either!

I will say, though, that the woman knew what she was doing and was very fast when peeling off the wax. I can’t imagine the pain of having that done slowly!

FWIW,

that’s right, a womans razor is best. my wife’s venus is great. they are made for shaving legs.

18

Electric clippers like the barber uses. I hate the feeling of bare legs only slightly more than I hate the look/heat/feel of hairy ones. So I opt for a nearly shaved feel that keeps me streamlined but doesn’t give me the willies every time the wind blows.

  1. Razor - Gillette Mach III Turbo

I was using Nivea shaving cream, but had some leftover Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel from an ex- and tried it out. All I can say is wow. It works much much better than any male product - not sure why (I think it just smells different).

  1. Legs up to the speedo area and inside the thighs. Helps with chafing from shorts/saddles.

Best things about shaved legs. Feeling a womens shaved legs against them The feeling against fresh sheets after your legs have been moisturized The feeling of a massage on freshly shaven legs - oooooh - time to call the masseuse

I purchaced an electric clipper for my Golden Retrievers. I can Zapp off all the hair on my back and legs in only moments with the thing. My wife says it looks like 2 bears had a big fight in our bathroom and now I have fleas. How come none of the models in Triathlete Mag look like me? Thats probably a good thing.
