Spinoff: The back hair survey

[bthaunert]

For those of you with back hair, do you let it grow or shave it?

Depending on the season, I can go a few months without caring, or go 2 weeks and need another shave. . My 7 month old starts swim lessons tomorrow, so my wife will be getting rid of my winter back bush tonight...she's thrilled.

I don't have the heart to ask my wife to help with mine. I try to get as much as I can on my own, but it's a losing battle.

Anyone tried Nair-ing it?

I believe Matt Jones is advertising a product for that on KSR. I think it is called Shari's Berries

I dread the next spinoff from the haircut survey.

Wife shaves it for me.

When I was single, I used to go get it waxed. The waxing scene in 40-yr old virgin is accurate. It sucked.

Now I don't have the George "The Animal" Steele going on my back, but I do have enough that I hate it. In the winter time I will have my wife shave my back once, but when spring time rolls around I will get my back waxed.

Oct-May....wife shaves it when necessary. Jun-Sep...wax.

Pretty happy I don't have to deal with back shaving. I have the occasional long hair sprout up on my shoulders and middle of my back that I just pull out. Feels awesome.

Clippers.

holy ish I cannot imagine what my wife would say if I asked her to do this. Props to all you dudes who put yours to work!

I do the best I can with the neck/upper back. been trying to get my testicular fortitude up to get it waxed before pool/beach season every summer, but always chicken out. think last time I looked online in Louisville some salons charge $40-45 to do it? Maybe this year....

My back is like my scalp. Bald.

 

[RoyKent]

wax - lasts longer, much easier. Not so bad on the back unless you have a ton of hair.

Probably only need it every 6 weeks or so for little to moderate back hair.

There is also this thing - my buddy has one and says it works well.

Don't know about back hair but manscaping your junk area will increase your lady's willingness to perform "mouth hugs" (term borrowed from Ron White). Definitely more important.

Fritz's Salon and Spa for Men is good. Plus the scenery (female employees) are nice. They are in Louisville on Hurstbourne Lane (Behind Caraba's)

Yep, after the back shaving it is time for manscaping.

I'm lucky.

I have enough chest hair to survive 3 weeks shirtless in Alaska, but no back hair. I'm also fortunate my wife likes a hairy man. (She thinks smooth dudes look like little boys and therefore are unmanly)

A friend of mine's wife MAKES him shave his pits, arms and chest. Poor guy.

As long as she makes it worth his while.

You back hair apes need to evolve into humans.

 

[KyCatFan_rivals45723]

I just have the few random back hairs (like 4 or 5) and have the wife pull them out. I guess I am lucky and further evolved from apes than I could have been. A guy I knew in the Air Force had to only be about one generation removed from primates. He had a ton of back hair just climbing out of the back top of his shirt. He had to be about like this.

 

[IdaCat]

What type of wife tolerates that, much less shaves it for you? Fat, amirite?

 

[joeyrupption]

One of the funniest golf "catch phrases" I've ever heard is my dad's buddy who yells "Shave your back!" when you hit a big drive, implying you are a gorilla.

 

[throatpoker]

I never really had a lot of back hair, just sparse curly ones, but I would simply run the clippers over my upper back when cutting my hair weekly. I had thicker hair on my shoulders than back, but no shaving maintenance now really after using my girlfriends i light. At this point just a few hairs still come in and I razor shave them in the shower as needed. Granted the i light isn't permanent, but it does work for stunting growth (up to 6 months) and the hairs seem to come back lighter and less visible when they eventually do.

 

[IdaCat]

You guys should have those back hairs transplanted to your head. Solve 2 problems at once.

I shave what I can at the top, which isn't much, the rest of the back runs wild. I have hair all over my back but it's a pretty light amount of back hair. The front torso and chest hair gets shaved somewhat regularly because it's just a train wreck due to it not growing evenly but where it does grow gets long and thick. It's disgusting even to me.

You're welcome you primates.
