Should men shave their back (and body) hair?


There are a few reasons why you might choose to shave your back and body hair. Some people do it for personal hygiene, while others do it for aesthetic reasons. Whatever your reason, shaving your back and body hair can have a number of benefits, both physical and psychological.

Physical Benefits of Shaving Back and Body Hair

  • Reduces sweating: Body hair can trap sweat and moisture, which can lead to body odor and acne. Shaving your back and body hair can help to keep your skin dry and free of bacteria, which can lead to a healthier and more comfortable body.

  • Improves hygiene: Body hair can be difficult to clean, which can lead to the build-up of dirt, sweat, and bacteria. Shaving your back and body hair can help to improve your personal hygiene and reduce your risk of infection.

  • Prevents ingrown hairs: When hair grows back in, it can sometimes become ingrown, which can be painful and unsightly. Shaving your back and body hair can help to prevent ingrown hairs by removing the hair from the root.

  • Makes it easier to apply sunscreen: Body hair can make it difficult to apply sunscreen evenly, which can leave your skin vulnerable to sunburn. Shaving your back and body hair can make it easier to apply sunscreen and protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.

  • Feels good: Shaving your back and body hair can simply feel good. The smooth, hairless skin can be a pleasant change from the prickly, hairy skin you're used to.

Psychological Benefits of Shaving Back and Body Hair

  • Increases confidence: Shaving your back and body hair can help you to feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin. If you're self-conscious about your body hair, shaving it can help you to feel more confident and comfortable in social situations.

  • Improves self-image: Shaving your back and body hair can help you to improve your self-image and feel more comfortable with your body. If you're unhappy with your body hair, shaving it can help you to feel more positive about your appearance.

How to Shave Your Back and Body Hair

If you've decided to shave your back and body hair, there are a few things you'll need to do to get the job done right.

  1. Shave Solo - or with a Partner:  It's great to have a friend on standby to lend you a hand.  Otherwise, you'll need to have a razor designed specifically for shaving hard to reach places.  There are a number of long-handle razors designed specifically to make it easy to reach your back. 

  2. Use a sharp razor: A dull razor will make it more difficult to shave and can increase your risk of nicks and cuts.

  3. Shave in the direction of hair growth: Shaving against the grain can irritate your skin and lead to ingrown hairs.

  4. Clean the razor frequently: Clean accumulated hair from your razor either with a gentle brush, by blowing, or with warm water  This will help to prevent the razor from clogging and will also help to prevent razor burn.

  5. Apply a moisturizer after shaving: A moisturizer will help to soothe your skin and prevent irritation.

If you follow these tips, you can shave your back and body hair safely and easily. Shaving your back and body hair can be a great way to improve your personal hygiene and to reduce sweating - and it can also help you to feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.
