I just shave from my waste up and my arms pits hands and my back as well It only takes me 30 min. to shave. I've been doing this since I was 16 and now I'm 60. I never had any irritation or ingrown hairs. but if you do. The eastly way to treat the is to get a uncoated. Bayer aspirin make a past with water using a cotton ball and treat the problem.
Thanks and hey even if you shaved your legs it would have been all about fine, as these are all just preferences, I saw lots of guys who shaved chest and legs but not their arms, others who did everything others who just left their underarms.
I only asked to factor that on the total time it takes to you.
Would you answer the other questions from the message above yours? Those about if it did hurt to remove that much hair each time etc, how often, how thick your hair was, against the grain etc.
I'm lucky I don't need to shave my back, so if I will shave my legs I might consider how long it takes you as an indication. Thanks again.

Ops, sorry, nevermind most of my reply before, you actually answered most of it actually, thank you a lot! :)
30 mins seems like a very reasonable time, though I saw a video of a woman shaving her entire legs ankle to buttocks and her underarms in about 5-6 minutes! And she seemed comfy and didn't seem any painful at all or rushed. It's possible shaving your back takes a bit more than other areas as it's more extended and trickier to reach?
By hands you mean actual arms as well included all the way from your wrist to shoulders?
Do you use classic manual multiblade razors? It's great you didn't have irritations and shave so comfortably.
How's your routine in terms of moisturizing and hot water?
Thanks for this aspirin tip, never heard of it, so making it react and dissolve in seltz in water then wetting a cotton ball to treat the area?

It only takes me 30min to shave my upper body. that's cause i really tank my time with my body. I shave with a lady razer except for my face. I don't use the same razer to shave my face as I do my body. I include ,u arms, arm pits, hands. I use a back razer on my back. I use a moisturizer after I shave. one from the droller store does just fine. I hope this helps.
Ur welcome Just be to know I don't use hot or cold water to rinse use warm water. a moisturizing from the dollar store will do just fine use lest amount as possible.
Yes by hands I mean from my shoulders all the way down to wrist and hands. every thing from waste up.
Thanks, I read this one and your other answers, you've been very kind to take your time to help.
Oh, I tend to use the same razor instead when I shave my chest, shoulders, underarms and feet. Though I don't shave much on my face, except the fine but dark and visible hair on neck between my collarbone and above the adam apple, sometime up to the jaw sometimes up to the underchin zone, the rest I mainly trim.
One thing do you shave against the grain?
"Just be to know I don't use hot or cold water to rinse use warm water" I agree on that, but you mean rinsing pre shave to open the pores or after shaving?
And how often do you feel you need to shave?
Considering I don't shave my arms and I don't need to for my back, yeah, if I take my time and relax I might have needed 20 mins sometimes, others more than 30, not sure, but when I start again I plan doing a "speedrun" to work on shorter time, but relaxing at the same times of course and being careful.
When I'm eventually gonna start on my legs and stomach, I think I won't touch my arms though as being hair still soft there, not sure I'd wanna have to keep shaving them. While it's alraedy thick or dark enough on legs.
I know hair shouldn't really grow back really thicker, but some people say it might eventually grow a bit different than before, though it shouldn't by shaving once or a few times, so I'll consider that :).
To men who have uncertainty, I'm straight, nothing wrong with being gay, I mean with that, but only that shaving or not shaving has nothing to do with that and sharing my experience ^_^.

I shave every evening or day when you have the most time to shave where u want to shave.
I use a razer and shaving cream . I use a lady's razer to shave my body, I never use the same razer to shave my face as I do to shave my body. I use a men razer to shave my face.
Oh, that can be tough, it's encouraging it can get to be this comfortable anyway, which is gonna be even easier for me, as I feel I only need to shave every 3-4 days, when I do :).
Do you shave against the grain? Or with it, both? I sometimes go sideways or diagonally against, mainly against.
If I notice irritations or bumps more often, I might try a lady razor like you do for my body, even more so as it's likely I have less hair than you.
How often do you have to change the blade?
For me it's often over a month, generally going on as long as my skin doesn't start feeling less smooth and more irritated, then I know it's definitely the time to change it as soon as I notice that, to prevent any further hassle :).
I'd definitely use a separate razor than my face for the inner pubes, but I prefer to keep it. At most I'd shave around and above the underwear if I did my stomach and legs.

"that's cause i really *tank* my time with my body"
beware as time can really "tank" and sink if we relax too much :D.
Just kidding, nevermind

I shave side ways on my body and downward on my face. I change my blade when the blade stress the skin or pull the hair..
NOT true I very chubby and I have man boobs I shave my body from the waste up and my arms and armpits hands and my back. I've been doing this scene I was 16 and now I'm 60 still shaving my body. So never be a shame of who you are or your body shave if it makes you fell good.
Thanks. How often that makes it necessary to change?
