Here's the update: I finally took the plunge last week. Was going to buzz again and instead took the attachment off and took it all off, followed by a close shave in the shower (head to toe - only hair left on my body at this point is goatee and eyebrows).
I love the way it looks, but lots of maintenance. I can get away with shaving my chest, etc once a week, but if I don't shave the bush every 2 days, the stubble itches like crazy (and my girlfriend - who loves the look too - complains) So not sure if I'll stay shaved but I'm sure glad I tried it.
