Q&A for How to Shave Chest Hair

No - when the hair grows back it is shorter and stubbly at first, which causes it to look thicker.

It would look weird to have a hairy stomach but no hair on your chest - so yes, you should shave the hair on your stomach as well.

If they are really long, trim them to 2 to 3 cm.

Neither trimming or shaving is better. If you want to get rid of leg and chest hair properly you need a wax. That said, if your options were only trimming or shaving than shaving would be better.

Yes. Shaving regularly can give you good results. Apply moisturizing shaving cream, moisturizer or conditioner before shaving to reduce the risk of cuts and leave your skin soft and smooth. Rinse thoroughly after shaving.

This can just be the result of your natural genetic hair growth pattern. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it makes you uncomfortable, you could trim the thicker side.

Use a warm (not hot) compress on the ingrown hairs two or three times daily. Use a very gentle exfoliator on the area to remove dead skin cells. Do not use tweezers or a needle to lift out an ingrown hair that's embedded under the skin.

Open pores just mean you are more likely to get spots. After a warm shower, turn the temperature way more and stand under it for a minute to close the pores.

Waxing looks better and lasts longer, in my experience.
