The last time I shaved was almost a year ago, August 16th 2008. the night Usain Bolt burned the 100m at Beijing.

For some odd reason, my genetics prevent me from growing a beard either that, or it just grows slowly.
 
Once a week. I can grow a beard, I reckon, but I have to put up with months of looking like I've glued my pubes to my face. Not a good look.
 
I shaved about a year ago. But I have a thick, manly beard, curly, but otherwise with about the texture of a horse's mane.
 
Every couple days or so. I take care of my scalp at the same time I shave my chin, and my beard grows slowly enough that I can get away with it. It takes me a week to grow a five o'clock shadow, and I don't believe I'm capable of growing a proper moustache or a beard.

It's a shame. I don't think I'd look right with a beard, but I'd love to be able to grow a respectable moustache.
 
I'm thinking handlebars, like Mario, but a Fu Manchu or something similar would be good as well. Definitely something old-fashioned.
 
Once-Twice a week.
The face hair would grow faster if you'd shave more commonly, that's true for any kind of hair and most of the types of shavings.
 
The last time I applied shaving cream to my face was some twenty years ago. I keep the beard trimmed weekly, but that's it.
 
I shave my back once a week, generally.


Any more than that and I cannot afford the expense.
 
I shave once a week, although I should do it daily. By the time I shave I have close to an actual beard. I shave my head at the same time, usually.

I keep my beard into big mutton chops. My objective is to keep my chops and head hair at about the same density (about a 4).

It makes me look like I'm wearing a Spartan helmet (with no fin) made of hair.

That's basically how I look now. I'm simply too lazy to shave; luckily I'm not getting out much, so only my family has to deal with it. Once school starts things will have to change.

If I really wanted to get the fuzz off my face I would have to shave at least weekly, if not more often.
 
Mostly I just shave when it starts to get itchy, which is usually every 3-4 days

It gets itchy 5-10 hours after the shave here.
And I love it when it's itchy.
 
I don't mean razor burn itch - I mean almost a beard instead of stubble itch
 
So no women are going to respond, eh? I saw 1069 was in here.

I don't have to shave my legs because I had laser hair removal and it's GONE!

I am almost done with my underarms. Yippee!
 
I shave my legs once a week during the cold months, every other day or so during the warm months, my armpits rarely (the hair grows really slow), my pubies maybe once a month, and pluck my eyebrows once a week or more.

That's a lot of depilation. It's exhausting, really.

My legs and arms once every few weeks and eyebrows every 2 weeks or when it is needed generally

You shave your arms? :shock:
Or your pits?

I want laser removal for my back, how much did it cost?

It ain't cheap, and it hurts like crazy. They do have a numbing cream you can put on your skin to lessen the pain. I never used that. Anyway, you'd likely have to go multiple times (at least 5). To me, however, it's worth it. If it will make you feel better, I say do it.

I'll be interested to see what she says. I could not believe how many of the laser technicians (all women) had the hair on their arms done. That would never occur to me.

I have to do the same. I should shave every day but I end up doing it once a week and by the time I get to it, it dulls out a new razor. I go through 4 of the quatros a month.
 

how much does it hurt compared to a tattoo?
