Chest hair.

I recently got my chest hair caught in my concertina. Very painful too.
We were going through a few sea shanties prior to a gig at the local care home at the time and I was less than pleased.
Since the success of Fisherman's Friends, we thought we could get into the scene and make a few bob for ourselves. 
We started out as Cutthroat Jake and the Plank Walkers, but quickly became  The Plank Walkers when Jake flounced out after a heated argument about the logistical problems regarding the transportation of his parrots.
But I digress. 
The question is, do you have chest hair? And if you do, do you take care of it in any way?
Do you trim it?
Do you shave it all off when the mood takes you?
I shave all mine off, taking great care to avoid the nipple area, for I have form in this regard.
It's an annoying chore, but I can't allow it to take over my upper body, and I'd like to know how Nat, and the rest of you deal with it.

I thought it said you had got your chest hair caught in your Cortina then!

It's long KP, but not that long!

I immediately shave any of it off. It is a scurge. No offence to any Monkeys reading this, but I am not a Chimpanzee.

I have about 3 chest hairs so it's not a problem

You obviously didn’t eat enough crusts like me.

Very occasionally trim it, I’m not like a chimpanzee so not a major issue with me

Does that cream that women use work? They put it on their legs.

At least I can hide my chest hair. My eyebrows are on a life path of their own choosing, and my ear hair has reached the point where I'm being mistaken for an orthodox Jew.

Immac?

You need to get shut of it. Immediately.

That's it, although I'm sure there are others. Bit scared about going that far.

Women are a bit funny about hair. They shave their eyebrows off, then draw them on again with a pencil.

What's all that about?

I draw the line at cutting any below the waist hair. For obvious reasons.

They can get lost. Socially unacceptable hair?

Pass the scissors.

They will shave them off here and tattoo them and let the hair grow back to make them appear fuller I guess.

I've never even considered shaving my chest. What's the purpose?

I’ve got a bit more hair on my chest now that I have got a bit older although it still isn’t much.

I wouldn’t dream of waxing it or anything as I feel it would feel itchy when growing back.

I do shave other parts though as no woman would appreciate the bush downstairs whilst noshing you off!

To look like somebody from Essex?

It’s got to be!

Some blokes have serious hair on their back. I couldn't be doing with that.

My next door neighbour shaves his before he goes on his jollies.

This isn't a good look either.

 I took up swimming in my late 20s and became self conscious that the majority of other men shaved.I have shaved all chest and shoulder hair since then, i maintain a hairy back, somebody else would have to shave that.

Funnily enough i like female body hair although it is decades since i saw even a bit of underarm hair in the swimming pool.
