How often do you shave (any part)?

I shave my face and neck once every couple or three days usually. I shave my back too. My wife doesn't care, but it bugs the hell out of me. I don't do much with my chest hair.

Ladies, you are welcome to chime in as well. This is not a guys only event

I shave my face pretty much once a week, at least I did when I was unemployed.

Armpits, probably every month.
Same with my gnarly hobbit feet.

I've been meaning to shave my pubes, but I'm scared of being itchy down there.

I'll tell you something I do, and I posted this once before but I don't remember where. If you can stand the initial shock, you can grab a few at a time in the shower and yank them out. Do this around any area with thick hair and try to keep it somewhat even across sides, and you end up with a much lighter and shorter bush. Yes, I said bush LOL. Focus on the longest hairs and work your way down. I never get itchy from doing it this way. No mass amounts of hair growing back at once, and you don't have to put your legs in the air for a waxing. Haha.

Another good thing is you can go as short as you want since they are all at different stages of growth, and you don't have to do it all at once.

I keep my head clean when not feeling too lazy about it (insert laugh here), lately that has been every 3-4 weeks - was/has been/could be daily easily enough.
My moustache/goatee I keep trimmed. I shaved my upper lip once in the past 12 years and my chin sees a razor twice a year if that. The sides will vary on the day/mood/season, although I have more motivation now as I cook for a living and finding greyish/white/red hairs in the food is not good.

Funny isn't it? Those of us who need to shave at least every two days wish we didn't,
and you guys wish you did.

I shave when necessary. I'm unemployed at present, so if I have an interview or taking
my daughter to the parent & child centre, I'll shave.

I blondish, so I leave the back of my neck mostly alone.

I'll trim body hair occasionally. Crotch as well. I've never had itching problems when I've shaved my penis/testes area.

One thing I do that I think is weird is that I trim the hair on the back of my hands weekly-ish. Don't know why, I'm not really hairy, but I do.
My palms, now that's another story.....

I shave my pits every day, don't shave my bikini line at all if I don't have to (I'll trim it up if I have to wear a swimsuit), and only occasionally shave my legs. I shaved my legs for Halloween, but I hadn't shaved them in almost a month prior to that. I shave them more in summer, less in winter. I don't shave my bikini line because that just ends in pain.

Mustache goes every day, rest of the face if I have time in the shower. Armpits every week or two if I have time. Pubes usually get buzzed every few days and shaved if I feel like it.

Everyone who trims, or trims then shaves, if you don't have one of these, then go here now.

Beard trimmed daily, regular stubble is a crapshoot - if I shave at 6:30 am, it's already stubble by mid day.

I manscape when it looks like I need to mow the grass. I try not to let it get to the point where deforestation is required, but it really doesn't matter, not like there's every anyone down there besides Palmela Handerson anyways.

Legs about once a week in the winter... keeps the hair softer.
Every few days in the summer when it's hot and sweaty.
I used to trim very short in the public region until my man asked me to grow it out.
Now I just use the edger instead of the weedwhacker.
Armpits every other day or so.

I tried not to shave my face as much as possible, but now I have a job that isn't in the back of a kitchen, so I shave everyday. Armpits get trimmed every other week and my bait and tackle gets the trim when I have a date or if I start pulling hairs out on accident. Chest/back.... I need to get that shit waxed.

I shave my head every other day. I try and shave my face on most work days but I tend to let it go on my days off and I end up looking like Grizzly Adams after a couple days. I like having facial hair, the worst was my old job where they required the clean shave look. I trim my goatee about once a week. I'll shave my back when it needs it-back hair creeps me out. I like my chest hair so I don't do anything with that. I trim the nether regions based on how much "action" I'm getting. Lately, its been a dry spell and it looks like triple canopy jungle down there!

I find that the beard trimmer on ktsp's shaver works wonders in the nether regions. It's short enough to keep things tidy (once every 2 weeks or so), but not short enough to make things itchy or pre-pubescent looking.

Legs and armpits, about once a week since living in Iceland. Once I get to more temperature regions, probably every few days in the summer.

When I can afford it, I wax unwanted hair every three to four weeks.

When I have less money to spare I will shave a couple of times a week. Every day is not necessary for me.

It's not odd at all... it's the same tool with the same function, so I don't have a problem with both my husband and I using his shaver for all parts. I don't even really see the point of "women's" vs. "men's" razors/shavers, except for marketing purposes, but I guess that applies to a lot of things. It's all the same hair to me.
