OK I'll come out and admit that I find it a little weird that some straight guys would shave and or wax. It seems less strange for a gay man to do either but I'd have some serious questions about a straight guy who was that into grooming his pubes. Maybe that's stupid of me but I can't help it.

To clarify, I guess I mean a more dude type straight guy. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that, say, The Situation is a waxer but I do have some serious questions about those types in general.
I'm not generally weirded out by body hair but I know that for a lot of people it's a thing. The only time I can remember being truly weirded out by it, was upon seeing the mother of some kids I used to babysit for wearing a bathing suit. Her bush came out that suit in full force and spread - no lie - halfway down her inner thighs. It was truly out of control and she didn't seem to give a shit. I wasn't sure whether I should be horrified or impressed by the size of her figurative balls.

I once dated a guy, and on our first date he took me to see American Pie 3 at the dollar theater (I had not seen the first two). There was some stuff about how now that main curly-haired guy is hitched, he better start trimming his pubes & all, a running theme through the movie. After the movie, my date asked my opinion on the whole issue: do guys need to trim their pubes? This is not the kind of conversation to initiate on the first date, is the take home here.

this is boarding school we're talking about
It's not that crazy, you guys. Just the most proximal 1/4 inch or so. My habit of doing this goes back to the days (oh, the olden days, those halcyon days) when I wore condoms, and unrolling them could sometimes cause the kind of yank that you do not want on your penis. Specifically, you'd yank hair out of the base of your cock every time you unrolled a condom. Since then, I've incorporated the shaving of that region into my overall regimen.
Also, there's a good bit of shaft that grows hair. Some of those little curlies are downright tenacious. They'll end up an inch or more from the base of what one would call "dick," especially on the underside. There's this whole penis/scrotum grey area going on there that normal ball hair doesn't understand the boundaries of. You gotta show it who's boss.
Mostly now it's just a vanity thing, though. Evan if I had five-inch wiry hairs sprouting from halfway up my dick, I don't think that would stop her from fucking me. But maybe she would, I have no idea. I'm sure it would bother her if that were sprouting out of my chin or ears or nose or whatnot.

when you say "shave" is that a euphemism or are you literally putting a razor on the shaft of your cock

No, you're right. "Shave" is a euphemism for the nanobots that live in my underwear that destroy the hair while I sleep.

I remain a little weirded out by how over the course of my life the practice of shaving the pubes has gone from something pretty rare to something that's if not expected then at least not even a little surprising.
In Finland at least this happened in an even shorter time: I've noticed the same change during the 13 years I've been sexually active. These days it's not uncommon to come across a fully shaved porcelain pussy even on hippie or feminist girls, who you wouldn't expect to shave it. The only proper explanation I can think of is that porn and porn imagery has become more mainstream, and obviously shaved pussies are very common in porn. Personally I much prefer hairy vaginas, I've always found fully shaved ones a bit weird. It's not like I'm gonna run away from a shaved pussy, but I think they have a sort of a preteen vibe which makes them a bit awkward. Also, if the hair has been allowed to grow a bit after the last shave, the resulting pussy stubble can give you the same sort of red face that you get from kissing a man with a stubble.
