Shaving "nether region"

[JTS911]

hi All

Sorry for starting off with a question like this BUT I need advice.

I have been cycling for about 4 months and have a very hairy a$$ ... etc LOL SORRY

Was wondering if shaving it will help with comfort ? OR increase problems ?

I normally are good up to 30km but @ around 40-50Km I cant sit anymore can it only be seat or would a shave help ?

Again sorry for the question ?

Chamois cream or simple Vaseline and padded shorts should help things along. Other Chamois' creams are available, but I like the Assos one myself.

FWIW I've never shaved my @rse, and I've no intention of ever doing so TBH

Surely bum stubble would be hell on the re-growth?

I think re-growth would be preferable to a re-entry under the circumstances

Ok I know this may seem a strange question but exactly how do you intend to shave your bum and make any sort of a decent job of it anyway ? Shaving your legs I can accept but your bum ? I would suggest following the advise above and leaving such things to those who may enjoy them, each to his own.

Don't do it!

Practice make perfect

I'm a fairly hairy fella and to be honest never had any issues and certainly never contemplated taking a blade to my ass

On a more serious note, when I do a longer ride (ie multi-day such as to the south of Spain), I find I can get an ingrowing hair. The barse creams such as Assos or Elite do work well. Scrupulous hygiene is also essential

Dont shave, just have a trim!

But On a lighter note should I ask if no ones done so already "Is this a bum thread"
Though perhaps a more sensisble note I must admit it's not somthing I'd even thought about perhaps I've not cycled far enough yet?

Hi All
Had a GOOD laugh (it made my Friday) to some of the replies Thanks for the advice I'm thinking to maybe trim a little and use the creams suggested.
My big race (103km) is on the 24th and will give feedback
