Personal choice: The shaving habits of humans have varied for thousands of years and involve any skin surface. From the practices in ancient Egypt to today, it is both a personal choice & has pros & cons. To do so involves time investment and some expense. There are also issues some have with skin irritation or minor infections. Do what you wish.
