So I was at track practice today and it was extremely hot. Long story short, a bunch of guys said that shaving their chests and stomach areas make sweating less annoying. So, me having a fairly hairy chest and stomach area, decided to give it a try. I did today and it's very smooth..

but what I want to ask:

1. how often will I have to shave to keep it not very noticeable that I shave there?
2. do any of you guys shave your chest and abs area?
(If you said yes to number 2): How long does it take you and how often do you do it and do you do it while showering?

1. The times could vary, every so often to every few weeks, everyone is different.
2A. Yes
2B. I've don't it once and it hasn't really grown in quick, although my chest wasn't that hairy either and yes I do it in the shower

1. your judgement call, if you like it and you notice it getting hairy again just shave it
2. yep....I create a happy trail and get all excess hair off
(If you said yes to number 2): 15 minutes, every week, and just in front of my sink.

Thanks guys :) actually got another question now..

I can kind of see the line of where my shaved skin meets the hair on my sides. any way to make this less noticeable? Can i trim the area down so it looks like more of a smother transition?

It's common practice to shave those areas for sport/training.

1. How often will I have to shave to keep it not very noticeable that I shave there? I'd say a few times a month.
2. Do any of you guys shave your chest and abs area? I do.
(If you said yes to number 2): How long does it take you and how often do you do it and do you do it while showering? It doesn't take me long at all and I shave a couple times a month since my hair grows out slowly.

i shave my chest like once every 2 or 3 week (im only 15 so i dont have that much, but i dont like what i had)

and i also trim my trail, which is abs- i do it in the shower and takes me like 2 or 3 mins

I don't shave my chest, but I have before. It took me a long time because I have a ton of chest hair, plus I shaved my stomach at the time too. It itched like a bitch right away so I would never do it again, though. I also have a lot of hair on my sides and it was quite noticeable, but there's not much you can do but shave that too.

No, I leave my chest hair alone right now. However, my chest is so hairy that it grows up my neck so I do have the bottom of my neck shaved so the Amazon isn't sticking out of my shirt :P

2. do any of you guys shave your chest and abs area? yes
How long does it take you and how often do you do it and do you do it while showering? It takes me a while because im kinda hairy, i usually do it when i have enough time to or i cant stand having the hair, no i dont do it in the shower.

1: Depends on how fast your hair grows.
2: I shave you stomach (happy trail). I do it while showering every 2 weeks-ish.
3: Yes, you can trim a little to make it appear smoother.

Ok now this is going to hurt, but give waxing a try. After months of repeated waxing it will grow back slower and thinner.
