Please explain this shaving method to me. . .

I was supporting John at a tri on Sunday. There was a guy there with the strangest shave job. I totally don't understand this. His chest and back were shaved. So were his arms to just above his elbows. So his elbows, lower arms and legs were all super fuzzy. I have no idea if he shaved his legs to where his tri shorts stopped (and don't want to know). Most guys I know shave where the clothes don't go. This guy shave where the clothes DO go.  Any explinations?

    Actually, the clothes rubbing and being tight can decrease hair growth. So it may not be that he had shaved those areas, but that the hair was not growing in those areas as they are covered and rubbed clean.

    There was stubble. . . .

    Maybe he is trying to live up to his idealized male image. His shave job describes what some guys have for hair - that is they have none (or very very little) on chest, back, upper arms and things.

    Things = thighs when the proper keys are hit.

    Doh! Can't explain that!

    i have nothing to add to this, but I'm quite entertained...

    There used to be a really funny video from one of the shaver companies about shaving the bits. I always laughed because he was so concerned with the bits but had horribly hairy legs.

    Maybe he picked the wrong mushrooms on the side of the road when he was really hungry during a long ride/run? Licked the belly of too many frogs? (certain species have hallucinogenic properties)

     Al- I was also wondering about "things"

     If i were there, I would have been locked on, staring and not being able to turn away out of curiosity

    Penny, I have to think the dooode didn't want people to know he was shaving when he was dressed normally. Kinda like the guys with tons of tats up to the point where a shirt covers them... I just can't think of any other reason, and no, it doesn't make a lot of sense. My only caveat to that is that I once had some tights that leg hair would stick through somehow, and it struck me as kinda gross. That was one of the several reasons I started shaving legs. But still, have the courage of your razor, dude! :-)

    They don't mention legs. . .

    I wonder if they have the templates like they do now for the women's shavers. Allows you to shave that special place into different shapes. Not that I know personally, just seen the ads and templates in Cosmo at the hairdresser.

    As far as shaving so people won't notice when you're in normal clothes - I have one word. . . WIMP!

    Personally, I like it when guys shave their legs. I like seeing the definition and shape of them.
