1. Why??

2. Why?? Seriously why would you do that

3. How did i feel? I felt faster. I mean i was a competitive swimmer so i didn’t trim i shaved but i did feel a little faster even though it might’ve only been a hundredth of a second it still counts

4. I shaved my armpits once my teens out of stupidity and boredom. It felt not much different from hairy as far as I can remember….until it started growing back. Every arm movement that touched any skin to skin where the hair was growing back was pointy/stabby/itchy/scratchy/annoying. Don’t do it unless you plan on keeping them shaved.

5. Don’t Bic them or razor like all off.. You need to get an electric shaver and do the lowest grade as the grow back depending upon your skin type might never be the same. In answer to the why below – I do it because its more hygienic for me. Simple as that really.

6. No need for that. Just keep it as nature intended.

7. I had both of mine shaved during a pre employment drug test . It was awful, I wouldn’t recommend

8. I’m nearly 60. I’ve trimmed my pithair once. I got some gunk stuck in it and cut it out.

9. I actually use electric clippers to shave my underarms. The attitude I grew up with was that it’s considered feminine to do so, however the mitigating circumstance is that I suffered a medical issue that left my right arm disabled and unable to reach overhead, so ventilation is an issue as sweat, heat, etc gets trapped, so shaving my underarm on one side without doing the other seemed silly to me.

   The fringe benefit though is that my anti-perspirant actually seems more effective now.

10. Are you gay? Women love hairy men.

11. Grade 3 minimum, first time you do it. Any shorter and it will get itchy.

    It will get less itchy the more you do it, so you might get away with a grade 2 later on.
