Question About Removing "Body Hair" (legs, guys, wax)

[pucked]

1) Are there any places which get rid of, for men
-Chest/Back/Neck hair
besides the expensive methods of laser and the painful waxing?

2) Are there any places that would shave/cut body hair?
-If so where?
-If not, why?

3) How long, in general, would waxing last?
-When I use nair, it's 2 weeks before it begins to bud back.

(3) Waxing lasts longer than two weeks, and isn't anywhere near as painful as it appears in stupid movies.

(2) I've never heard of a place that'll shave body hair -- my guess is there wouldn't be much of demand for it. Sounds like a diy job to me.

(1) I'll bet if you played your cards right, you could find someone on Craigslist who would be willing to shave it for you. Or even pluck it. With their teeth even.

I do the full body hair removal myself...I am married and I ask my wife to help me with my back.

What I do is use an epilator. I use this method on my arms and legs. For the torso I use and electric body groomer. Currently I'm content with the results that I get doing this all myself.

There are some devices in Amazon, for the back.

I wouldn't shave anywhere that rubs on your clothing. You can see the spots because the hair there is usually rubbed shorter. Take two advil 20 minutes before a wax appointment. Get referred to a waxer or someone that waxes guys and is used to the hair. Its not really a big deal at all. The first time is the worst one too. So after that its smooth sailing...Pun intended!

I use an electric shaver to knock down my chest hair. Anything that is left, I use my regular razor to remove. I just use a quality after shave/skin conditioner after to prevent any irritation.

Many salons that have esthetician remove body hair for males. Call around. They probably have many more male clients than you think.

Ouch!..the epilator! Now I think THAT would be worse than waxing!

I myself had some questions about body hair removal.

What I usually do is
1) Nair
2) Remove the rest by shaving

However, I really am unsatisified.
1) It really is a two person job, I miss too many spots.
2) Also, the nair makes mess of my bathroom and smells.

Therefore I'd much prefer to outsource this to a place that could do a
1) Affordable
2) Painless
3) Smooth, longer lasting job


Questions
1) Is waxing the way to go?
2) If not, what else?
-What are estheticians and how do they remove body hair for males
3) How long and how painful is waxing?
-If my hair is "budding" right now, but not full grown in...would that make waxing not painful?

[dubthang]

Estheticians are people certified to remove body hair. They also do facials, eyebrows, anything involving the skin. Males generally get waxed. Your hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch long for the wax to work.

Why is "body hair" in quotes? Is it some sort of metaphor? Did someone famous say "body hair" and I forgot about it.
