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 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.

I shave my legs and crotch about once a week, my legs sometimes every other day if I'm wearing skirts or shorts a lot. My armpits get done nearly every day.

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.

I shave my legs every 2-3 days, although this varies depending on my relationship status.
Pits and intimate area daily.

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 tend to go au natural. I shave my legs/arm pits one a month or so. Husband doesn't mind so that's good.

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 face one.. MAYBE twice a week. I simply can't grow it fast enough to shave more often than that. If I were to shave two days in a row, my face would be a giant scab.

In the summer, about every other day (legs, underarms, bikini line.) Winter...is pretty much whenever I feel like it, except underarms are still every other day. Luckily, the boyfriend doesn't mind

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!

Good on you! And CinnamonGirl, and Noodle, and Snowy...and every other woman that keeps the grass on the field. Even if it is just in the winter. Some of us men actually do prefer it that way.
Oh, and I shave almost every weekday, and usually at least once on the weekends. If I wanna "get some", that is. Mrs. O'Rights hates the scratcy facial stubble. .

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.

I prefer to shave every three days. I could shave every day, but I'm lazy and my skin is sensitive. My husband doesn't mind a bit of stubble. He shaves just as infrequently.

Not sure if I'm strange. I kinda like the scratchy stubble. The next morning I have a glow and red cheeks.

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.

i never shave my legs. don't need to. I don't shave my armpits in the winter either. and maybe once a week or every other week in the summer. i don't get majorly bushy at all... I don't have a lot of hair. I've gotten into the habit of shaving down there though.. Since I started I prefer it.. Maybe once a week.

I shave my underarms every day, and my pubic area every three days. I shave my legs about once a week, but I don't really need to. My leg hair is blond and very fine, like peach fuzz, you can hardly see it. My SO never notices when I don't shave.

I shave my face everyday. Whether I do it with a safety razor or an electric razor depends upon how dressed-up I plan on being.

I shave everything every day - I'm verging on COD about it (compulsive obsessive disorder - alphabetical!)
Considering getting electrolysis and never having to shave again though - have tried that laser hair removal thing but didn't work for me The SO shaves his face about every 3 days and his head every week or so otherwise it gets entirely too fuzzy.
