>>1177818I'm male, and I'll be getting everything ears-down lasered within the next couple years.
Razor burn and ingrown hairs are worse than neatly trimmed. This is true. So it's:
Hairless > Neatly trimmed > razorburn/ingrown
as far as I'm concerned.
See, I get why some people think of pubic hair/body hair as something separating adults from children. Puberty, and all that. I ... don't. Adult bodies make us human, not the little annoying protein extrusions that we produce. Aesthetically, I just prefer the look of smooth skin.
I basically can't/don't shave. My facial hair grows too flat to my skin, so if I shave it (or even trim too close) I get massive irritation due to the now-sharp tips growing into my skin. I'ma get rid of it all.
