to shave or not to shave & what to shave

Like the old days, I put on a brief and all hair outside of it gets shaved.

Anything not covered by a suit. This includes the head.

Well, in that you were supposed to shave whats underneath the tech suits, it should be all the same. The last time I shaved myself (2009 HS state tournament), my electric razor broke before I had even started. Let's just say I didn't get a whole lot of sleep that night. I started with some scissors and a razor around 9:00 pm and finished around 1:30 am. I would like to say that my perseverance paid off, I broke one of my PR's and I could rightfully brag to the girls that my legs were smoother than theirs.

O K ! So after shaving - - any oils or speed lotions to go on? They will not compress but might reduce friction a bit. :bolt:

Eyebrows? If you answered "Yes", proceed to next question. Eyelashes? Two yesses and you are certifiably Hardcore.

So shaving is not tapering?:afraid::bump:
