Now, I shave from head to toe every other day. I cannot imagine having body hair--whether en femme or not.

    I wonder how many of us shave our bodies? No one even questions me about it anymore. But I can tell you that my lingerie feels really good against smooth, lotioned skin.
    I shave everything, Lara! Everything except some arm hair, which I trim down.

    My hair stylist even shaves my back, for $5.00!!!

    I will never, ever go back!

    Was it folliculitis, or pseudofolliculitis (red bumps caused by shaving?) If it was folliculitis, was removing the hair recommended to help treat it?

    Yes, Vickie, it was folliculitis and it took forever to correct. Whatever the infections was, it was deep in the follicles. I've since learned that some of us who have very dense body hair and very soft skin always run the risk of the hair shaft itself "cutting" the follicle tube and causing such an infection. So, I shave regularly and I've never had the problem again. Apparently, at least this is what I've discovered in my case, as long as I keep the hair cut down to the skin level, it doesn't "turn" and cause skin injury. That might not make much sense, but I can tell you that if I go very many days without shaving, the symptoms come back.

    I epil all body hair including arms and that usually lasts for a couple of weeks. I will shave once a week in between to maintain smooth skin. I also double shave the beard as I wont epil the beard....

    At least twice a week and sometimes more. Everything, except my head.

    I don't have to shave, arms and face are the only places my hair grows besides the privates.
