From the man whose WR has been broken four times in the last two months.....
I like his attitude. He could never be a USMS swimmer. Too much whining here about everything.

Some say it is better not to shave under the suit as the hair traps air adding to buoyancy.Others say shave under the suits as hairs can stick out(not a problem I have noticed with a FS Pro.)
This is something I'd really like to understand. The added buoyancy because of trapped air in the suit, that seems counter-intuitive. Wouldn't that ruin the hydrodynamic effect? Bubbles moving all around, etc.
I don't enjoy shaving, but I do enjoy racing fast... Would shaving enable the suit to be "closer" to the skin, making it a better fit, less slipping off the body, etc?
Does anyone have firm data regarding this? What does the suit-maker recommend?
