Zak,I posted a response to you in your thread. As to whom is harriest, well, that's one I don't intend to discover for myself.
Here's the sad and honest truth:
If I lost all of my hair, people wouldn't recognize me. As it is, I'm regularly confused for Chewbacca on the beach, and have found it allows me to scam meals and money off of adoring fans. 
Seriously, though, hair in the quantity that I possess it is actually beneficial. I can tell when insects land on me immediately, and (I'm not making this up) I've actually found them entangled and unable to escape. This provides me with a portable food supply, and a means to determine what, exactly, has bitten me.
As well, it's a good secondary shield against harsh northern winters, gives my women something to run their hands through, and makes Tom Sellek green with envy.
In short, I'm attached to my hair.
I find, in general, that people who have a problem with body hair usually have good reason to be ashamed of their own. It's, to some degree, a matter of taste. Jimbo likes his own shorn, so as to better look like a little boy. I like myself wild and unfettered, so as to better resemble the ancient Wooley Mammoth.
