When I am in better shape, I am more likely to shave my chest. I trim under my arms sometimes. If there is a big gay event and I am in shape and might be more liberal with the razor. I have shaved my legs and arms, generally only in the summer or if I am getting pictures taken. I do trim pubes on occasion. I am having some serious body issues at the, so shaving, other than my face, is out, as is any type of manscaping.

To keep weeping pimples and the like away, you need to treat your body like your face. One doesn't just take a razor to the face and start hacking away. The skin on the body needs to be treated like the face. Get the skin warm and moist. Use gel with skin relaxers (opens the pores). If it has been awhile since shaving, use an electric razor first, to shape or get hair to a short status. After shaving, rinse the body really well, then close the pores. To avoid cuts, go slowly, especially over tricky curves. When cutting around the meat and potatoes, always be VERY careful and have LOTS of light. The first time you cut a shadow, thinking it is a clump of hair, you will howl like a beast and be reduced to a pathetic blob. It's a mistake, even the stupid, only make ONCE!
