MaleERA - Armpit hair: Clean Shave, Trim, or Leave as is?

[Khaos Prime]

Curious to see what the guys of Resetera do with their underarm hair.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

I don’t even wax my chest. Is this a thing?

 

[Magneton]

Braided.

 

[tommy7154]

Trim. I don't do it often enough but yeah.

I think going clean would be a bad idea unless you don't sweat.

 

[PaulloDEC]

I don't have enough of it for it to be a concern.

 

[Souzetsu]

I trim it down. It feels more comfortable that way. I’d be worried about ingrown hairs if I shaved.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Trim on occasion, most of the time don’t care.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Trim it down. A 2 should suffice. Essentially just don't want it to look like a bunch of spiders are trying to escape from your pits.

 

[TheBeardedOne]

Leave it as it is..

 

[Fat4all]

long, strong, down to get the friction on

 

[MrHealthy]

I just run my electric trimmer over it so it doesn't stick out everywhere. Keeps it a good length.

 

[Pluto]

I shave it every other day, takes less than a minute in the shower and I feel much cleaner and less smelly.

 

[Alucard_DCLXVI_]

Body hair ain't aesthetically pleasing to my eye... Neither does it feel pleasant to my touch.

...so I shave it all away!

What is so "hot" about armpit hair anyway?
I can't seem to figure it out...

 

[Plainswalker]

I tend to leave it exactly as-is. In the summer if I'm noticing a particular amount of sweat or scent, I'll trim it down to a more manageable level, but otherwise I just leave it alone.

 

[RolandOfGilead]

Shaved or trimmed. At the moment I'm going through a shaved phase.

 

[Quantum Leap]

Trimming close is the only way. Shaving feels completely terrible when it starts growing back.

 

[Trickster]

I shave it, armpit hair is gross

I don’t even wax my chest. Is this a thing?

Click to shrink...

Is that you in your avatar? If so, you probably shave your face for similar reasons that people shave other parts of their body

 

[TheMadTitan]

Trim or shave depending on my mood.

I hate underarm hair, visible underarm hair specifically. Shit's nasty everyone has shitty deodorant clumps because they use shitty deodorant and it bothers me so I strove to never bring such a blight on humanity myself.

 

[Staf]

Clean.

 

[LazyLain]

When it gets too damn long, I shave it clean.

 

[Ryuhza]

I like the feel and aesthetic of clean pits. Pit hair just looks strange to me.

 

[Speely]

Clean.

 

[hjort]

I shave. I feel more comfortable without the hair there, and I don't find it very aesthetically pleasing either.

 

[LooneyLMD]

Shave.

 

[Joni]

Shaven from time to time. Easier to wear short shirts in the gym.

 

[Golden]

Trim it every couple of months. Anti perspirants are much more affective with short hair.

 

[Dr. Sanchez]

I trim when needed. I should try having to see how it feels sometime in the future.

 

[Batatina]

All clamped and glued to the skin with a strong deodorant.

 

[Jonnax]

Shave it you smelly peoples.

BO sticks to the hair. It's the worst thing being in a rush hour train trapped under an armpit of someone. With a strong mix of BO and antiperspirant.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I don't do anything with it. I guess I have a moderate amount but never do much that it's seemed like I needed to groom it.

 

[Kyuuji]

I leave mine as-is but have been thinking about trimming as it does get warm under there now the sun's coming back out, it's pretty thick. Smell isn't an issue as I wash and use deodorant but I get sick and tired of the damp patches in the Summer. Interested if trimming would have any affect.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Electric trimmer buzzed down to the skin. Takes like 30 seconds and I do it every month or so. Armpit hair stinks and is uncomfortable in any sort of heat or humidity. I can't think of any upside to not clipping it down.

 

[Umbrella Carp]

I keep it shaved off. Soo much easier to manage body odor without it.

 

[PixelatedDonut]

men with body hair>>>>>

 

[Bedlam]

Clean shave. Every week or more often when necessary.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I trim it on rare occasion, but in the end it's more trouble than it's worth, and it feels a bit odd. It doesn't get very long anyway.

 

[Novoitus]

i do what i want

 

[Engell]

trimmed

 

[lucky300]

Shave

 

[Tezz]

Shave that shit.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

I used to just leave everything but I'm exercising daily now and I find the less body hair the better for a variety of reasons so I trim.

Wife is not keen on the chest hair trimming though.

 

[big_z]

just run a body groom over it. gets it close to a shave but leaves just enough stubble to avoid growing irritation.

 

[Westbahnhof]

Trim. Shaved before, felt horrible and also looked kinda odd, as I don't shave my chest

 

[Reversed]

Leave the bastards like Captain Caveman would do

 

[SliceSabre]

Nothing because I don't have much armpit hair anyway.

 

[Dinjooh]

Trim it down to 1mm every week, takes seconds in the shower.

 

[KojiKnight]

Leave it till I randomly start picking at it, then ripping it all out.

It hurts, it's a dumb thing to do... but hey, some people chew their finger nails. Totally the same but different.

 

[hateradio]

I trimmed it once or twice. I liked the results, but I forget to do it.

If you wear tank tops, I'd suggest doing that.

 

[Bitanator]

Leave, has not grown much in the 8 years since I shaved them and it does not bother me having it there

 

[shnurgleton]

Leave it, nothing worse than armpit stubble after a day or two. Also the way sweat just rolls down my body when there's no hair is gross. I'm not especially hairy so it isn't really a problem anyway
