I leave my hairy man chest the way it is, but I do shave my groinal region, tis nicer for the lady! I go over it with an electrical razor, then comes out the close shaver with the foam. Careful when shaving under the bag mind, nicked myself a few times! Never nice. And it will itch a few times, but that passes. Used to shave my pits but that was just too much of an itch!
