Since I started this thread, I figured that I'd post a final reply on what I decided to do.

So, based on Jade's posting (and other postings), I decided to give shaving a try. So, I used a razor in the shower under running water and shaved my abs. The first time was a bit of work - even though I not very hairy. But, I've been maintaining it with a quick shave every time I shave my face - and that seems to be working really well. I'm obviously too chicken to try waxing - despite it being suggested by my wife...

In terms of removing the infusion sets - which was the reason that I've started this - problem solved!

Will say that I felt really self conscious about this on the first few days - despite being a bodybuilder, but I got used to it. Now, I just need the 6 pack abs to justify shaving as a bodybuilder...
