Btw, a tip for the neck, not to you of course but in general.
When shaving below your Adam's apple, you want to be careful of you sternocleidomastoid tendons and muscles which tendons start from where the top of your ribcage and clavicle, the collarbone meet in the middle up to behind the ears. They are especially evident when we turn the face, the opposite side we're turning.
This can make it harder to shave the very bottom of the neck, a bit more if you grow thick hair there, but still if you have thin and sparse hair like me but dark and visible so you prefer to shave it nevertheless as it's a zone of the body where men typically grow hair.
If you feel the side toward which your neck and face is turned, that's smoothed up and ready to be shaven, as the muscle in that side relaxed, at this point you could gently tend your skin up and shave down against the grain, still very gently. If your hair is very thick there though, you might want to go upward against the grain first.

Oh, thanks, so shaving more often can minimize the irritations? I thought that waiting between shaves give more time to skin to recover and be ready for the next shave as skin is usually at least a bit more sensitive when hair has just been taken off (:.

ok cool, so you moisturize right after shaving that way skin is even less sensitive and is ready for shaving the next day? What do you use to moisturize and how does shaving more help minimizing irratiations?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

When you shave every the hair stays evenly below the skin. The hair gets use to that. A moisturizer from the dollar store work just fine I get mine from the dollar tree.

Thanks for the awesome tips, I didn't know that, though I wondered about that I should give this a try to see how it goes.
I hope my razor is gonna last as much, though it has much less resistance in theory, being done more often but on minimal growth if any.
I'll consider that you using a lady razor might incide as those blades might be lighter on the skin and better on very short hair like that. Like you I'll go on until I start to feel the blade any less comfortable on my skin.
If i find it more painful I'll see if I'm doing something wrong and if don't it's possible different skin might react slightly different and might be back to shaving every 3-4 days, though lots of women shave their legs everyday, so I'm inclined to say it might work and you're generally right :).

Oh ok then, I'm the opposite, I generally only start to wear shorts and going without socks at about June. Also depends on the present weather.

I seldom see posts of the opposite side of the coin, so I’m the oddball once again. I have the opposite issue. No chest hair at all, unless you count peach fuzz. Growing up I watched all the guys around me sprout chest hair in their teens and twenties. Everyone kept telling me it would happen to me. It never did. I have pubes and underarm hair, but none on my torso. I’m blonde, so the hair on my arms and legs is blonde, but also very sparse. Everyone asks me if I shave my body and I have to point out my blonde fuzz to prove I don’t! Even my happy trail (under my navel) is blonde peach fuzz. I used to get very depressed about this as I’m Italian and just about every guy in my family is pretty hairy. I took a lot of ribbing over it. When I reached my 30’s and realized it was never going to happen I embraced my hairlessness and also began working out. I actually began working out thinking it would increase my testosterone and stimulate body hair. I never got body hair, but I got in really good shape. Guys at the gym would be waxing and shaving like crazy to show their muscle gains and I just shower and go! I do have a beard, which is blonde and kind of sparse, but it’s enough to make me feel manly. A lot of the guys I work out with have expressed how “lucky” I am to not have to shave my body hair to show my gains from the gym. I now embrace my body and enjoy showing off the fruits of my labors. It’s also a lot less work than those other guys go through!

Hi, I shave but I really don't hate hair. I don't even have lots of it on chest when I don't shave, which I sometimes don't. Though it's dark.
I'd say you're lucky. (: No, I understand you really, though hair or no hair, beard or little to no beard it's all fine, there's much more to a man, we agree.
If you really want you might try minoxidil. Of course not finasteride, as it would have the opposite or just no effect at all as despite both grow hair, one only grow it on head, as we know it blocks the same hormones which mockingly and spitefully make body hair grow but head hair fall!
Yeah the legend say shave to make hair grow thicker, but for the good or for the bad it's a myth, some people at the start of this old thread believe it, but fortunately in parallel to fake news and conspiracies knowledge increased as well in those who look for it.
Basically hair grows back after being cut it seems, so while shaved hair if growing hormones can stimulate the follicle to grow thicker hair over time, but only to the extent we are disposed to depending on how much hair is disposed because of hormones. I only shaved my chest after puberty and hair got only maybe slightly thicker over time, then it stopped and stabilized and it stayed as sparse and the same since then, as my hair is just not as sensitive to hormones, nowhere near Tom Selleck's is haha, even assuming I have his same level of hormones, which would still be reaching, kidding.

Wanna add a small consideration. I think it's best to only start shaving on zones featuring a consistent and visible hair growth as shaving on soft and light peach fuzz might result in stubble over time, so we can avoid touching it as long as possible (:. It's normal to have some hair we don't have to obsess over being metaphysically smooth everywhere except where we feel hair grows too much.

On this topic. If you need to shave your legs all the way up from ankle (or foot) to bikini line, stop at least just below the buttock crease or infragluteal folt https://d45jl3w9libvn.cloudfront.net/jaypee/static/books/9781907816284/Chapters/images/146-1.jpg - just a drawing so it's SFW , that's it unless there's really visible hair which keeps going all over the butt cheek which is less frequent for women but not so rare depending on your type, so nothing to be ashamed of being hairier.
That's because if hair is still soft there, if you develope stubble on your buttocks, you need to be more consistent in shaving otherwise it might feel itchy to sit down.
If hair is already visible and dark, though it can be worth going over it.
