Hello there i have really hairy legs and silky smooth torso, i just wnated to remove the hair through waxing in order for it to grow back thinner. Are there any others ways i can do this like with a razor that trims (recommendations???). I don't wnat to wax because it is very painful or epilate. I don't want to shave the hair completely becuase then it will grow back thicker and please dont tell me its sissy/gay/etc...to remove or reduce the amount fo hair on my legs

Why not leave it, personally I love hairy legs but each to their own I suppose.

Waxing or epilating would be best for what you are asking. Yes, the first few times can be a real pain, but after that you'll be fine.

Shaving and depilatory creams only remove the hair above the skin surface, so regrowth is coarse and stubbly. Neither will thin the hair at all.

Using a shave minimizing lotion daily will help reduce the amout of hair regrowth too. It takes a while for the effects to be noticed, but stay with it. You should be satisfied with the results.

For what it's worth, I like 'smooth' guys.

Well, waxing is a painful process but it's the most effective. Just pop some painkillers before you go to the salon to get it done. Razor-ing your hair off is quite a bad idea as the hairs would grow back way too fast.
Or if you don't mind spending abit more on a painless hair removal procedure, try IPL (Intense Pulse Light treatments). It is a permanent hair removal procedure. :)

Hairy legs on men looks HOT. Especially when they wear shorts. I don't know why any man would want to get rid of that hair.

You Could try One Of The Depilatory (Hair Removal) Creams/Lotions. I Believe They Even Make Some Especially For Guys (Neet, Nair, Veet)

You can't reduce the amount of hair that grows and shaving doesn't make it grow back thicker, thats an old wives tale.

If you don't want to wax, shave it...it's not a big deal I know guys that shave their arms and legs because of excess hair. It's no big deal and I don't think any less of them because they do.

There are several hair removal strategies, but be warned: None is 100% permanent. They do have Nair for men. I don't know if it works or not. The other Nair works for me.

Hair Removal Strategies
There are several ways to remove your unwanted hair, including over-the-counter methods and those administered under a doctor's care. With most of these methods, the hair eventually grows back.

Shaving
Your hair growth rate will determine how often you have to shave the affected region. Shaving is best for legs, arms or facial hair. However, this hair removal method can cause ingrown hairs in the pubic region.

Plucking
Plucking is the most painful method, but may be the most worthwhile when there are just a few hairs you want to remove. Examples include reshaping your eyebrows or pulling out those few stray hairs that may appear on your face, especially for a woman. You should not use this hair removal method for large areas because it can cause ingrown hairs or scarring.

Depilation
Be cautious when selecting hair removal creams over-the-counter: All creams are not the same. For instance, a hair removal cream designated for pubic hair should not be used to remove facial hair. The chemicals in these products dissolve the hair shaft and drawbacks can be significant. The chemicals can also cause superficial burns. If you have a history of allergic reactions, you may want to seek the advice of your doctor before trying any hair removal creams.

Hot Waxing
You can do this at home or you can also have it performed by a professional in a salon. Hot waxing can be messy and may leave some hairs behind because they can break off. Infection is one side effect to watch for. Still, many women use this hair removal method in the bikini area and for hair on the upper lip.

Laser Hair Removal
This is one of the longest-lasting methods and generally requires 3-4 or more treatment sessions.

The laser beam or a light pulse works to destroy the hair bulb itself. The treatment can be expensive and sometimes painful. Be sure to select a doctor or technician who is highly trained and knowledgeable. You may require multiple sessions, but it can be used on many parts of the body where unwanted hair may appear.

Electrolysis
There are two primary hair removal methods of electrolysis: galvanic and thermolytic.

Galvanic. Chemically destroys hair follicle.
Thermolytic. Uses heat to destroy the hair follicle.
In either case, be sure to find a professional who is highly trained and knowledgeable with this hair removal method. Electrolysis can be used on all parts of the body to remove unwanted hair.

Oral Medications
If none of these hair removal methods seem to address your particular problems, ask your doctor about oral medications to inhibit hair growth.

There is a topical cream called Vaniqa, approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the slowing of facial hair growth in women. This cream slows growth, but will not remove the hair.

Use hair removal cream such as Veet. It doesn't take it all off, just dissolves some of it. Doesn't hurt at all, and some products can be used by putting it on in the shower, then washing off. Will take 15 minutes maximum to work.

You should get the cold type of wax strips they dont hurt much but try to shave with extra cream it will probably help.
Good Luck :)
