I’ve had a similar experience with body grooming over the years. I’m in my mid-50s and have always been pretty hairy, but I’ve noticed a change in how my body hair grows as I get older. My legs aren’t as thick with hair anymore, but my back hair remains stubborn. Like you, my partner doesn’t really like the back hair, so I’ve been using a trimmer to manage it. Honestly, it’s something that became more important to me as I got older—I want to feel good about myself and look presentable, especially when I’m with my wife.
The idea of going completely smooth is one I’ve considered too. I’ve done it a few times—mostly in the pubic area—but I’ve never been able to fully commit to going smooth all over. The maintenance seems like a lot, and I personally don’t enjoy the feeling of being totally hairless. But I do see the appeal, especially if it makes your partner feel more comfortable or if it gives you that fresh, clean feeling. It’s just about deciding whether it’s something you’re willing to do long-term.
For me, trimming and maintaining what I’ve got has worked better. I still feel like I’m taking care of myself, and it’s not as much of a hassle as shaving or waxing. I’ve tried a few different products—razors, trimmers, and even creams—but I’ve found that a good electric trimmer is the best option for me. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t irritate the skin. If you’re looking for something low-maintenance, I’d recommend sticking with trimming and seeing how that feels.
If you’re going to go smooth, just be prepared for the upkeep. The first few times, it might feel liberating, but as the hair grows back, you might find yourself needing to do it more often. Also, some people find that it can cause irritation or ingrown hairs, especially in areas where the skin is sensitive. If you decide to go for it, just take your time, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different methods until you find what works best for you.
