Help - Shaved chest 3mm.....

[Dr Murdoch]

Now its a nightmare wearing a t-shirt! So uncomfortable.

Should I have gone longer/shorter? Any tips to reduce the uncomfortable-ness?

9mm is the answer.

And Nivea moisturiser.

1. Why ?
2. Why would you not have just gone smooth chested rather than leave a 5 oclock shadow?

I never use the trimming end as its useless, I have hair clippers for that. The shaving end is ace though.

It doesn’t last long but go either or in the future. Embrace the hair or shave it.

Another Philips trimmer user here - chest all the way down to 1mm...

1. Good question. Yesterday I took delivery of the very same shaver/trimmer that Digger recommends. I started 'low', and decided to go up (as I was also getting bored of looking like a Gorilla).
2. I'm 43 and feel that the bared chested look is for young twenty somethings, and I don't want to be 43 trying to be a young twenty something.

It is very good, although I'm not too keen on the bare look (see above)

As a matter of interest, given you don't want to look like a child, why are you shaving your chest at all?

Is it just to have a fashionable look (and then, surely, you need a totally bare chest) or is there some perceived benefit in other respects?

Neatness.

Get that man veet cream. Itll burn it off and won't have sharp ends when it regrows causing irritation. Same idea as waxing.

Surely that’s chest stubble?

[gregs656]

If you only did it yesterday for the first time, you might just have some irritation. I would moisturise it and leave it for now. It is unlikely that you will suffer from the irritation again.

I've yet to meet a woman who doesn't like a hairy chest.....hairy backs a different ball game.....but then again I'm an old fker

Perhaps it's not for the benefit of a woman?

Many Gay men shave all over because Jizz gets everywhere and is a nightmare to clean ofespecially if it dries out……


So I’m told. Just saying.

Chest stubble certainly won’t be for her benefit.

I've only just started this and I'm 59. I start to look unkempt and indistinguishable from a Wookie.

I use a No4 on a trimmer as I would look weird hairless but the trim makes me look less flabby for some reason.

I then have a knackered man groomer which I use one in a while on my back as that looks awful thus I go down to just less than stubble.

T shirts and shirts feel weird for a couple of days.
