29 years it took me to get that shag pile the way I liked it.

Along comes someone with different ideas and presto chango ..its gone.

I am the proud possessor of a recently dehaired chest.

Top Tip: Its lots more fun with help

Equipment Used:

• Mach 3 Turbo Blade
• Gilette Gel (sensitive skin kind)
• Bath / Shower
• Scissors
• Warm Water
• Baby Oil Gel from Johnson and Johnson
• 22 Year Old Austrian

Get clean and start trimming.

You can’t trim too much and believe me this process can take a while.
Time spent trimming with the scissors is time well spent.

Take off as much off as you can with the scissors (do try to stay fairly wet while you do that)...slather on some gel/foam ...don’t go nuts , you don't need that much.

Now commit to it....a couple of nice long strokes will get you feeling confident.
Try right up the middle first, just go for it.
The detailed work can come later.

Once you start making inroads you are well on your way.

Rinse and Rinse again.

(Cant overemphasise this , that hair will get in there (the blade), you really do need to rinse it properly) . Also do not let your chest get dry , more water or gel to keep you moist is a must.

When you have done most of the big work you move to detail.
Rub your hand across your chest a few times , different directions , up and down , side to side , you'll soon find the areas that need more attention by the tell tale stubble feel.

Leave your nipples till last.

Use a finger to cover your nipple and use outward or upward stokes to get rid of the pesky blighters.

You'll be surprised by how rubbery nipples are , not as likely to get cut as anything else. I was having this done for the first time by someone else and she was simply going for it , terrified me but it worked out fine.

Marvel at yourself in the mirror (and if you were anything like me ...you will marvel...it was a HUGE change)

Now get ready for the bad stuff.

After the first night its still great but slowly you will start getting stubble which will be oily and smelly and will itch like a sailors crotch . You’ll shower and change clothes three times a day and you will still get little spots and itchy patches.

Nothing you can do .......

...apart from shave again.

This is the trick, and that’s where people will commonly fail, don’t get disheartened, stick with it and continue shaving it , soon your skin will get used to it .

It worked for me


Oh yeah the baby oil was applied after the shaving , supposedly to keep the moisture in or something , I’m not convinced it was necessary but I am telling you this , if you can ever include “rub oil into body” in anything that you do ….DO .
