There are a few options when it comes to removing chest hair but undoubtedly shaving is the easiest and least painful. The infamous chest waxing scene from ’40 Year Old Virgin’ ruled out chest waxing as an option for a lot of men. Of course if you want to tough it out by all means go ahead but if you’d like to master the art of shaving your chest, read on.
Whether your goal is a subtly neater look or full on bare-chested glory, shaving your chest hair is simple enough. Here’s a five step process to take you from hirsute to handsome in roughly 30 minutes.
Before trimming or shaving chest hair, you must prep. That means taking a quick shower, drying off and giving the hair a comb through to loosen knots.
Next, decide how to trim your chest hair. Set boundaries: decide where you want hair, and where you don’t. If you’re not going for some avant-garde chest art, aim for symmetry. Don’t rush over this step. This is the one where you decide what type of chest hair you want and what look you are going for. Of course you can play around and change your look whenever you want but it’s good to have a blueprint of what you’re aiming for before you begin.
Go for an all-over trim for a consistent look. Bring all hair down to a length you’re happy with. Then start closely shaving the out-of-bounds areas, going against the direction of hair growth and working your way in. If you’re keeping some chest hair, make sure you leave a border of mid-length hair between this and the clean-shaven areas for a more gradient, natural look. The settings and attachments on your body groomer tool can help you perfect this.

Cool down. Once you’re finished, rinse your chest with cool water, dry off and apply a lotion that’s designed to soothe skin post-shave. Be kinder to your skin and wear loose fitting clothing made from natural fibres where possible for skin breathability. Even better if you can find reasons to go bare chested – good for your skin and can show off your new look.
