Male hygiene and "beauty"
 
We have a female version, and no doubt there are men out there who like to look after themselves as much a woman likes to. So here's a thread dedicated to the male part of JF.

Now onto an actual topic. Am I the only one here who shaves his armpits?

Crani 10-28-2008 06:52 PM

Maybe, I personally don't shave my armpits, nor any other part of my body with the exception of the face, tried once shaving my chest, bad move... I should have listened to Kramer on Seinfeld...

MMM 10-28-2008 06:53 PM

Why in the world to you shave your armpits?

kenmei 10-28-2008 06:55 PM

Only parts I shave/trim are my face and naughty bits ;)

sailorkittehxoxo 10-28-2008 06:59 PM

i shave everything. XD

Suki 10-28-2008 07:13 PM

Ewwwk Salvanas, don't shave your armpits. You're a guy, it's okay if you don't xD And anyway, if anything use wax but for God's sake don't use a goddamn razor on that part of your body (or any other, in my opinion).

It stops body odour from under the armpits.

Yes, I know you can use deodorant or anti perspirant, but whatever you do, the hair under your armpits will always cause odour. The best way to get rid of that, is to shave under your pits, and then just use Anti-perspirant. I haven't smelt of BO for a long while, due to this method.

Waxing is just painful, and it would cause irritation under my armpits. I'd rather have no hair there, and smell clean than having hair there because people think that it's "manly".

Anyways, I have enough hair on my chest to make up for it.

Aniki 10-28-2008 07:46 PM

Alas Salvanas, you're not the only one who shaves your armpits.

But I hate having hair on my chest as much as under my armpits.

sailorkittehxoxo 10-28-2008 07:52 PM

im with ya.

but im only almost 13 so i shave my legs, arms, and armpits.

Your 13? At your age there isn't much to shave there

That's awfully young. I started shaving my pits and any other hair around my 14-15's

I lol'd IRL.

sailorkittehxoxo 10-28-2008 08:01 PM

oh but i dont like it XD
i dont like how it smells. and i think everybody that thinks hairyness is "manly" or "the right thing to do" im going with what i think.

Drakedog86 10-28-2008 08:02 PM

I am not one to shave my body hair. I do wax though. I do not have issues with body odor, and I have armpit hair. I do like looking clean shaved and well kept. Girls love that.

I doubt I'll pay money to get something done which I can just do myself.

MissMisa 10-28-2008 08:14 PM

I hate man hair. I hate woman hair too! I'd prefer if it men had hair nowhere including armpits! It's all curly and sweaty and UGH. Yeah that's my opinion on it.

Yes, don't use any razor, it will just make your hair grow thicker and it will look horrible, worst then letting it be, and it'll grow faster every time you take it, so whatever you do don't use a razor, wax is better.

Ucho 10-28-2008 08:45 PM

Dont think there is anything wrong with shaving your armpits, male nor female. You see more man with hair under their armpits then without but every year I see more and more men that shaved their armpits on vacation.

It may be more painful but the results are way better, and it takes weeks for the hair to grow back out. Irritation? No way. Your skin will get used to it after the first few times to a point where it won't hurt that bad anymore.

Early bloomer?

clairebear 10-28-2008 10:54 PM

I (and most of my friends) started shaving at around age 13 aswell. Its not all that unusual. Maybe guys grow hair at an older age? x)

It's not that it's unusual, but early bloomer, yes?

Yuna7780 10-28-2008 10:55 PM

*appluads men who shave their pits*

See, I think it's okay for guys to have a little hair. If it's a jungle, Yuna no like. If you aren't a caveman, it's fine. I also think that if you have blond hair, the hair doesn't look bad either on your legs, arms, etc.

What really pisses me off about my brother shaving... Okay, he's a grown adult, but is still irritating as ever. He shaves his ass and always moons me. My eyes bleed. Whenever he's home and shaves his face, he lets all of the hair go down MY sink and clogs it all up. I take a half hour cleaning it all out, and then put plumping liquid into the sink to get what I can't. He doesn't even bother to clean up the area around MY sink after he shaves his face and head and I usually find hair in my toothbrush bristles.

I know this one girl, who's really annoying but everybody likes, who shaves her arms. She has really dark hair and her arms are hairy. Now it's darker and worse than before because she shaves it sometimes. gaaaah!

As for me, my legs are always silky and happy. :)

Then I think the majority of kids are early bloomers =P

Payne222 10-28-2008 10:57 PM

Uhm, I shave my face?
That's about it.
I'm not in swimming or anything...
so there's no reason to shave anything else!
XDD

Crani 10-28-2008 11:22 PM

13, sounds about the age where you should start getting some fur and trying to get your way around the razor (And does awesome cuts that come with first time razor handling...»_»)
Boy, for a man's thread this one is highly infested with chicks, not that it is a bad thing, it's good to have a female view in this type of things.

The next time your brother clogs the sink, just take some of the hair out and when he won't be looking throw it in his coffee mug, tea cup, bear can, or whatever he's drinkin'. When that'll get his attention, just say something so he would understand, that if there's nothing that clogs the sink than there's nothin' his cup, if there's something in the sink then he'd be sure to find it in his cup.

Man Yuna, you're absolutely clueless when it comes to fighting the great brother-sister war
