OK so I just finished shaving down for the first and possibly last time. It took an hour and a half and 8 razors. I feel disgusting and strange. My wife is pissed.
However, I figure for the 1650 it might be worth it.

I am doing the 1650 for the first time in two weeks. I am also supposed to be shaving for the first time.
Eight razors? Are you serious? How hairy are you?
I don't shave areas covered by the suit.My 3 razor shave referred to the once and future non-tech suit era.Shaving the second time is easier and faster.I am probably at the more obsessive end of the shaving as I shave the night before the the meet,then I go over the areas in the morning with my electric razor,then if I am swimming the next day I shave again that evening and again with the electric shaver in the morning etc.
It's truly amazing as you get older where the only dark hairs (or hair in general) will contintue to grow from...
Yours are dark? Mine are gray.
OK, reading this thread was scary. Shaving takes me 5 minutes max.
Good to know that Kirk is using pink razors though.
No, only exposed areas.
I've shaved plenty of times when I was age group and in college, but that was back in the "bikini paper suit" era when it was easy.....everything outside the suit gets shaved.
I'm not a hairy person, luckily. I prefer to shave like I did in my younger years, but the thought of stubble when trying to put those fullbodys on make my cringe. If I do a full shave I have a feeling I'll have to reshave again after day 2.
