First let me say, I started shaving when I was married to my wife for 15 yrs. 2 kids out of it. Also been shaving for about 25yrs now. Now divorced and over it and single forever. But we were watching a porno one night and the actors, were all smooth. I told her that she needs to shave. She said if I wont, she wont. So we both did it and both loved it. After the first time it was itchy and red bumps everywhere. After time went by, the hair grew back, but I felt I wanted to do it again. This time I invested in a 5blade razor by Gillette. Ohhh, that was the best ever. When I shaved it all smooth, I couldn't keep my hands off of myself. Now I get razors from Dollar Shave in the mail. Much cheaper and after time goes by, the itching and bumps stop. At least for me. I shave about once a week. I shave all but legs arms and my head. But I have done it. Just a bit more work. But will do on occasion.
