You're looking great.
My 2 cents on chest hair. This is what worked with my wife. It may or may not help you but I'll tell you how I handled it.
I have been lifting for decades. At one time I was a powerlifter. Heavy bench always irritated my underarms. I told my wife I wanted to shave my arm pits to see if it would help. She agreed and it did help. I them pointed out that many powerlifters, strongmen and pretty much all bodybuilders shaved their chest. I told her it was supposed to be more comfortable and definitely more hygienic, what with all the sweating from weightlifting. I told her I just wanted to give it a try and see how it looked and felt. She agreed again. One hot summer day I mentioned that I'd like to start wearing ankle socks under my jeans when I was working outside in the sun but the hairs on my legs got irritated rubbing on my pants legs. SHE suggested shaving my legs.
This took me a couple of years, slowly introducing new ideas. I didn't press things but simply pointed out normal practices among other men and my desire to try some and see if I was more comfortable. My body should be my choice. I am now hairless from eyebrows to toes except for arms which are almost hairless anyway. She was hesitant at first but at this point vastly prefers me hairless.
I hate to belabor the point but as it relates to general comfort and hygiene, hairless is the way to go. We shouldn't have to suffer for the outdated idea that manly men are hairy men. It just isn't so. Some of the most masculine and muscular men are pretty much hairless.
I wish you luck in your journey.
