I have the same problem, I'm half Ape..I just take the clippers and go low for the Goldberg look. If I was to try to shave like alot of other guys on here, I would have razor bumps like I was in a bed of fire ants. You could Nair and there are a ton of the cream hair removers. Some of them burn your skin though.
Yes, Nair actually works, although it gave me a horrendous chemical burn on my nipples that hurt like mad hell for days. It's funny now but then it wasn't.
Your hair grows back relatively fast (for me it was 7 days)because you didn't remove the root like waxing attempts to do. It is some pretty sick stuff and I wont use it again. It basically breaks your hair down into a paste of sorts.
I use the clipper method, my girlfriend likes it and you don't feel like a smooth rubbery pig like shaving does.
I actually use my electric razor with the pop up sideburn trimmer and get as close as possible. probably 1mm, I do it once a week.
