| I have a friend who is a very manly man - body builder type - and he shaves off his body hair. He says he just doesn't really care for it.
On the subject of face shaving, I've tried a lot of things to include the high end Schick and Gillette blades, but I find that for me, the most consistent shave I get is with the Gillette Good News razors (with the Lubri-strip, and a non-pivoting head) and Barbasol shaving cream. I like to be able to control the angle of the blades on my face, and the expensive gels either irritate my face, or make my face so sensitive that shaving becomes a painful chore. I have also found (based on a tip my father gave me a long time ago) that if your face gets irritated from shaving, that if you shave using cool or cold water, it will alleviate a lot of that. The caveat to that is that you won't get quite as close of a shave.
I'll use one of my disposable razors about 5-7 times before I chuck it, and I usually shave on weekends too.
