I'm 48 now and having been shaving on & off since I was 18. It takes me about 2 months to grow back, but I think thats because I'm older now. I use a beard trimmer to keep the bush and balls neat. When I would go swimming I'd be almost the only trimmed man, but now I notice a lot of men trim. It makes the cock look bigger, cleaner and manly. Its not that men with big bushed look ugly at all, its just that I think trimmed looks great for a man [and I'm not really hairy anyway, I'm about 4 inches soft, but 8 hard, shaving it makes it look a bit bigger soft] I've shaved my balls bald before, but only in summer when it feels great to let them hang under shorts, and its still very comfortable wearing jockstraps. [why aren't men wearing straps now, especially the AFL & rugby boys? I can't stand cycle shorts UNDER the footy shorts] but as I'm not a low hanger, I let it grow in Melbourne's winter. When did some of you lads start shaving and have you kept up the practice? I find a good way to shave the balls off completely is to soak in a hot bath and very carefully shave your balls with a twin blade and use sorbolene instead of shave foam. I'd be interested to know how you feel.
