90% of the time, I train with a gi, and my chest hair is constantly being pulled out from collar grabs and the general abrasion that comes with the game. Hair-wise, I look like Andre Arlovski. A rashguard helps, but it also makes things a lot hotter.
I don't want to shave my chest smooth, but I could use a good trim for a little more comfort. I know - some guys think that altering one's body hair is "totally gay", but I bet those people don't have inch-and-a-half long manly man hair gushing out the top of their t-shirt collars either. My wife first teased me about my idea, but she understands. Here's my question:
Would a regular pair of electric clippers with a #3 attachment like barbers use do the job? I usually have the #3 cut when I get a haircut, and it keeps my hair short enough that it can't be pulled, so I figure it would work for my chest also. I think it leaves hair about 3/8 of an inch. Once a month should keep things maintained pretty well for me. Has anyone ever done this?
Don't tell me to just shave it all off. I don't want to get the prickly thing going, and my wife won't let me do that anyway...
