Shaving of the pubic region is very much a personal preference and to each his own. I just don't understand why a grown man would want to be completely shaven. Forgive me, but it makes a man look like a young pre-teen boy. While trimming the pubes is one way of maintaining the growth and appereance, it seems like a much better alternative than shaving. I have trimmed my pubes on occassion and like the look and feel. I don't want to look like a small boy, prefer to look like a man. Besides, the regrowth, itching and discomfort would not be worth it-- to me.
