Beanie, just leave the hair THERE.... it is much less painful than the regrowth, to yourself AND your wife....LOL
Back Hair
Back hair. You shuddered, didn't you? Few prejudices in American society are as widely held ? and universally condoned ? as that against the hirsute. While other traits of masculinity are esteemed, even idolized ? muscular chest and arms, broad shoulders, deep voice, well-stocked Jockeys ? the popular mind draws the line at dorsal foliation.
Hairshirt. Sacred undergarments. Italian sweater. (What did the Italians do to deserve this?) People who would never dream of uttering a racial slur, :scared who leave the room when the conversation departs political correctness, feel no compunction about persecuting those whose neckline can be located in the ankle region.
Need a cheap laugh? Want to portray someone as a buffoon, a barbarian , a worst-case scenario date? :mj07: There's no handier shorthand than hairy shoulders.
An argument in favor of a healthy coat of fur could be made on any number of grounds ? for example, as inexpensive insulation in cold weather. :142lmao:
Through enlightened eyes, a hairy back can be seen as something poetic, even beautiful. :nono: But good sense has no purchase on visceral revulsion.
In earlier times, every member of the proto-human family was in the same thatched boat. Perhaps the hairless of today feel they are on the right side of the evolutionary trend, sharing some vestige of the scorn of the Cro-Magnon for the poor Neanderthal. Around the same time that Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan swung his oil-slicked frame through theaters from coast to coast ;142loser:, Streamline Moderne skyscrapers came to epitomize the shining future of mankind. Body hair was atavistic, behind the times ? not to mention a typical trait of the non-Anglo Saxon immigrants then darkening our shores.
In essence, predictably, it comes down to sexual attraction. :idea: It's to be taken for granted that women prefer sleeker, more civilized mates; and any man scorned by womankind is fair game for abuse by his co-genderists, solidarity be damned. Hors de combat, many members of the gay male community show more tolerant attitudes, even celebrating the trait in clubs devoted to Bears and their Cubs.
But appearances aside, these men are not animals; nor is their stigma the result of some crime against humanity. Unlike a mullet, a hairy back is a matter not of choice, but of cruel genetics (and yes, maybe a trace of bad karma for mocking their fathers). At one time, in the innocent blush of childhood, they were indistinguishable from their peers; then came that fateful day when adolescent pride in manly chest hair turned to horror at the eruption of whiskered epaulets, the first harbinger of a lifetime of shame.
Good luck with this one, Jimbo! :mj122:

The Razorba Back Shaver - Wild!
Ever wonder how to remove all of the hair from your back? Wonder no more my friend. You have come to the right place. Here at ShopInPrivate.com we have the Razorba. The Razorba is a razor holder that was designed to help men shave their back. If you have a hairy back and you don't want to enlist the help of a friend to remove it, you can use the razorba to remove your back hair yourself.
The Razorba is an angled razor holder that holds many types of razors securely and allows you to shave your back easily. We tried the razorba with a bic disposable razor as well as a gillette mach3 razor and it worked equally well with both. It didn't work with the Schick Protector razor because the protector's handle had a big bulb at the bottom of it. We suspect it will work best with most disposable razors.
The makers of the razorba suggest that you use it in the shower with a soapy lather or some shaving cream. Using it in the shower will allow you to rinse well, keep the skin moist and to keep the razor clean. Be careful that you don't clog the drain if you are shaving a large amount of hair.
It seems unusual to buy a special tool to shave your back, but honestly there are very few other choices. The Razorba is a unique product that tackles a unique problem.

An Essay on Hair by beantownjim
I am hairy. I am much hairier than any of my relatives or anyone I know. I am hairier than most people I have seen and I want to know, ?Why?? Of course, there is the basic explanation that the genes from my parents combined, and possibly mutated, in such a way as to give me a genetic predisposition to being hairy. However, my interest extends far beyond such a basic explanation. I would like to know, what the genes are, how many gene sites there are, how many possible alleles exist and what are the phenotypes expressed with each genotype, and on which chromosomes the relevant genes occur. I am aware that the answers to most of these questions are probably unknown but I would like to know the answers that are known.
Is anyone doing research into human hairiness? Would anyone like someone to assist in such research? Would anyone like a hairy human specimen?
Being hairy is not just a curiousity. It has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages are:
You wouldn't believe the size of my shampoo bill!
You wouldn't like my barber's bill either!
I get confused: should I wash my body with soap or shampoo?
The advantages are:
It keeps me warm in the winter;
and cool in the summer!
It definitely protects me from sunburn - and I get burnt very easily.
Perhaps being hairy enables me to spend less on clothes, though that could simply be that I dislike clothes shopping.
The interesting thing is, several years before hair began growing on my body, I had a kind of awareness that I was going to be hairy as an adult. Has anyone else had a similar correct or incorrect feeling about their body? If it is a common experience, why do people have it? Is it a way in which adolescents get used to the changes occurring in their bodies?
Another odd thing is that I am now 35 (written September 1995) and yet I still seem to be growing new quantities of hair. (...And it still grows now in July 2005.) There are few hairless places left for new hair growth, but my hair is definitely still getting thicker and more luxuriant in many places.

I know you were not looking forward to getting ripped on but you asked for it. Hahahahaha. Think twice next time pal.
