upon seeing the thread on leg shaving, it reminded me of another body part... armpits....

now, i know a lot of people would call you a i love you if you shave your legs.... how about armpits?

i've not heard anything negative about it. (except for women who doesn't shave... something along the line of putting Buckwheat in a headlock).

i'd think the benefit of shaving one's armpits might be less stinky armpits....

also, it seems like i have 3 moles in my pits and it might be easier if i shave before going to the doctors to get them removed.

comments on armpit shaving?

Doc will likely shave the area before going after the moles anyway.

If it is necessary, then it's ok, but I think you would be a i love you if you just did it for fun. On the other hand, if it's half way down your back, I think it would be ok to trim.

i notice wrestlers shaves their pit too...

and i don't think the hair has anything to do with the odor...
it's actually the sweat that's collecting in your pit and bacterias that's doing it.

at most like other hairs I would trim, but don't worry about what others think about you. If you think you want to shave your pits, go for it. Lifes to short to hold back because of what others may think.

People will always judge you because you are not like them, then when you become like them they say that you need to be different.

It's itchy and quite irritable. Not really recommended IMHO :)

You mean shaving it *all* off? I think shaving it all off is far too quasi-fem, but there's nothing wrong with keeping it trim.

I don't bother trying to shave it down to nothing but as close as I can easily get I do, every so often. Male or female, a bunch of hair in places like that is pretty disgusting to me.

Depending on how hairy you are, putting one of those header/filter things on your electric trimmer and cutting down your leg hair isn't the worst idea in the world either. Nothing wrong with it unless you like looking like a gnarled mess.

Bunch of my female friends find that guys shaving their armpits makes them more attractive (not to mention more hygenic and cuts down on the sweaty boy smell). Note: this applies only to armpits, not legs.

I don't think women find a foot long hair between your arms very attractive. I keep it trimmed with an electric razor. Plus it helps when you're putting on anti-persperant - with hair all over the place it just gets on the hair and doesn't do it's job :p

I'm a trimmer of armpits and other regions.....chicks have to do it, and you pretty much expect it to be done - there's no reason we can't have the same thing expected back of us. It doesn't take too long and looks much better.
