Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Shaving is for wimps - wax your arms (not forgetting your pits).

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Why stop at your arms - I'd say remove all body hair.

..and then coat yourself in vaseline.


..but enough about my passtimes

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I can now understand why your day-rate is so high - all that "hands-on" experience in the Comms Room..........;)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

It's a great game, you get one guy to do that, and then everyone else has to catch him - it's like there's 15 of you in the bath together all trying to get the soap.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

As one nun said to the other in the communal bath -
Where's the soap?

Yes, it does, doesn't it....... :monkey:

anyway, why would you want to shave your arms????

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

If you shave your arms be prepared to sit there are pick out the ingrowing hairs afterwards- arms are (for some reason) very prone to ingrowing hairs.

Also, remember that when the hair grows back you'll have stubbly arms.

If you really want to get rid of your arm hair then epilating or waxing is probably the way forward.

Personally, I can't understand why you would want to do it though.... looks really strange if you ask me- particularly on a bloke.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I like a man who looks masculine except for hairy backs (yuk!)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

do they need to be sweaty too?

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Depends what he's been doing, but sometimes yes :p:

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

OK, I've deleted that thread.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Oh but what fun I'd have trying :)

actually, you're probably right - I'm really a very shy and retiring person

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Yeh ok! :dozey:

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Well, wwe, why not go the whole hog, and have the "Back, Sack and Crack" like Russ did in 2004... http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/23...eels-pain.html

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

why does no one ever believe that?

I've often thought about doing that.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

erm, why ?

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

just curious as to what it would be like

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

for a furry monkey like you, rather painful would be my guess ? :D

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

It's a shame that audio file is no longer available. It spoke volumes :Yikes:

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

sweet, sweet exquisite pain..

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Any man who's brave enough to have a sack, back and crack done gets my respect :D

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

It's no wonder Mrs L_M isn't speaking to you and her in the fambly way too.


Hey Mrs L_M...Yahoooooo!

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

haha, shaving underarms no go, would make me feel weird!!

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I had to do that once. I had some sort of cyst in my armpit, & I needed to apply antibiotic cream to it [this was before I'd heard of Tea Tree oil]. trying to put cream on somewhere hairy is just not practical, so I had to shave it. It really itched when it grew back!

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I shave my pits in summer, if you moisturise then it doesn't itch. Grow em for winter though... need the warmth ;)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

ouch!!! I know swimmers have to shave makes them more aerodynamic, they are better than me as I wouldn't do it!

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

<nitpick>
I think you mean hydrodynamic. ;)
</nitpick>

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

As do many cyclists.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I wouldn't shave my arms as the hair is often quite fine and not that noticeable so I wouldn't bother.
If you are considering it though, don't use a razor. Veet cream is probably the easiest way. You apply the cream, leave it 4 minutes, and then wash it off and the hair just comes off.
Do remember to do a test patch first to make sure you don't get a reaction to it.

I think guys should have hair as it makes them masculine and different from girls.
It's just if you don't want it in a certain place or have too much that I think it is a good idea to control it.

Everyones different though and remember that what one person likes another person doesnt. Do whatever makes you happy, you don't have to follow the crowds.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

i have m8 who wnts 2 shave his arms but i he heard if he shavesthem they vome back thick but i heard if u wax them they don't come back thick and whats the best stuff he should use

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

....let me translate:

I have a mate who wants to shave his arms but he heard (that) if he shaves them they come back thick(er) but I heard (that) if you wax them they won't come back as thick. What's the best stuff he should use?


Think you should try writing comprehensible posts first.


The GF swears by hot wax...:D

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Don't you mean "at"?

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Well I suppose it could be "at" as well... :p:

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Isnt this were this thread started, a month ago.

Are you sure you dont have a monthly biological cycle with a compulsion to ask the same thing once a month:D

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Dead funny thread - Clippers to thin out maybe, full on shaving NO way.. It would feel dreadful to the touch even if the har is quite fine

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

What a strange thread, of all the parts that I shave, my pits aren't one ( or 2 ) the only thing with shaving / waxing etc etc is that the hair will grow back, normally, over time, a lot thicker, and that can be a right pain in the **** .................... believe me :D

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I only shave my face, the nether regions get scissored, now & then, ears & nose kept clear with a buzzy thing, but not arms, still 'natural' ;)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

has anyone used Veet For Men Gel Cream

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Yes. And it worked.

Do not put it anywhere near your face or your arms. These areas are more sensitive. If you are going to do your under arms use a razor otherwise I think it will probably sting.

The Veet cream / gel you apply for 4 minutes. Make sure you don't have any cuts or open wounds.
After 4 minutes wash it off.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

how long do the hair on your arms go for is it ok to use on your hands

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

The gel/cream comes with an applicator. :D Waxing is about 6 weeks between treatments but that is because the hair needs to be long enough to remove with wax between tortures. The depilatory stuff can be used as and when required.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

What a about a nice trim?;)

Hair on men is mascaline, unless its in horrible areas, then I would say get the wax out, and prepare to scream! :)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I believe Russ can give advise on waxing. :D

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

If you do wax, exfoliating the area daily between waxes should help to minimise ingrowing hairs.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Just seen this thread has been dragged up from 2007!!
Someone else who couldn't sleep last noight I see, trawling the back pages!

Just off to shave my hairy chin and upper lip now:););)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

It is fine to use on your hands. Just make sure you read the label and follow the instructions.
It is worth doing a small area first just to make sure you don't have any reactions to it.

It is the quickest way of getting rid of hair that's for sure.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

your nuts !! in a couple of years you will have a stubble like a yard brush.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

ive done it but ive got two red marks how long does it take for them to go down

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

About 6 weeks, I would say!;)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I got drunk and had my ankle waxed... Took around 24 hours for the red patch to go!

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

The red marks will go away. Just make sure you washed off all the cream off and maybe apply a soothing aloe vera balm. eg. the type you'd use for shaving your face to smooth the area down.
The first time you've done it will always be red but as you do it more your skin will get used to it.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

its just like red dots today where the hair was

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Yeah it should eventually go.
It's probably becuase your skin is quite sensitive and it is the first time you have used this on it.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

yer it is the 1st time thanks for all your help

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Halcyon.........................................do you have a problem you wish to share with the forum????;):)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

We was all avoiding that one, and you come along and ask it anyway :D

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Nope, I personally don't shave my arms, though I have done my legs before as the girl I used to go out with liked it like that. eg. smooth. The things us guys do for women lol.

Thankgoodness I've moved on.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I choked on my beer!

I can't tell you what one liked me to do :)

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I once stuck a wax strip to hubby's leg. Well he was unlikely to agree to it, so I just stuck it on there quick - I thought he should feel what I have to go through (sometimes). oops:

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Yes...seeing that men's bodily hair tends to be thicker and stronger than women's then I think that's a bit disproportionate.

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

Is that your excuse for screaming and sobbing like a girl that time, it's not bad as excuses go tbh

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

:p: No fair though, cos he still has a bit of a patch where it was!

Re: Thinking about shaving arms?
 

I don't recall sobbing ;)

In any case that was my "bikini line" which is more sensitive and anyway, it's not unheard of for things to be 'exaggerated' for radio... :angel:
