kcswims Posts: 2 Joined: 2006/10/03	2006/10/03, 05:02 PM Well I'm a professional swimmer and by the age of 13 i had THE SMALLEST little hair of chest i'm scared it'll keep growing what should i do to stop it?
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/10/03, 05:07 PM ????....I'm taking it you DON'T want your chest hair to grow...that it's a small amount now and you want to keep it that way???Shaving it..or waxing...whatever you do..will make it grow back faster and fuller...not much you can do as a swimmer.

216chinook Posts: 89 Joined: 2006/02/12	2006/10/04, 12:09 PM LOL, Mutt that was good... shaving and waxing. Yes I knew swimmers were concerned. Am I the only one who asks "do real men REALLY wax?" Whatever happened to using good old duct tape? One pull and its over.... no fuss no muss, nothing to heat and dip. Just apply, pull and toss... ============ Quoting from 7707mutt: I looked stupid with my chest shaved....it made my back hair stand out that much more LOL =============

Not to be an ass but what the hell I will anyway but shouldn't that be like apart of the basics in that sport. To me thats like me asking someone if I need holes drilled in my bowling ball!
	2006/10/04, 11:33 PM Would that make it a wiffle bowl ball? I think drilling holes is right MVP. -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie

But the silver back WAS pretty funny mutt!

jeramiemaza Posts: 167 Joined: 2006/08/02	2006/10/07, 08:53 AM As a swimmer you don't have much of a choice but to shave or wax. Even laser hair removal would work, definitly the best choice for a pro. Otherwise I disagree with everyone that says to shave. The only guys who shave are homosexual's and strippers. Not to be disrespectful It's how I feel partly 'cause I am half gorilla myself. I beleive myself to be the missing link scientist are searching for. -------------- Break bread wit the enemy// But no matter how many cats I break bread wit/ I\'ll break who you sendin me/ (DMX)

sstump1 Posts: 1,227 Joined: 2005/03/20	2006/10/09, 01:40 PM Look at my before and after pics. I've shaved a few times but can't bring myself to wax. Even though I've heard that repeated waxing can thing out the growth.
