    Sorry but I don't shave at all!
    What's the point it only grows back.
    Men have hairy bits so why not the girls.
    Having said that, the only time I do the armpits is before I go on holiday,
    not very often - sigh!

    Lots of variety in MSE'ers here. Although I said in the title that it was one for the ladies, primarily to stop it descending into chaos, it would be interesting to see what male MSE'ers think and if anyone has ever had a shock when getting jiggy with a lady but I gues that's another thread...

    One thing I have never understood btw...People who wax: it has to be a certain length before you can wax again, so what do you do in between? It must look really untidy while it's growing?

    I have a hollywood (all off) every 6 weeks. Yes it has grown but it's not a bush ;) and with hot wax it removes even the shortest hair. Underarm I epilate when I need. The hairs are so sparse and fine now it every four weeks for a dozen hairs
    :rotfl: l love this site!! :rotfl:

  • I'm amazed you all have the time... shaving legs and pits takes long enough and you can be a bit gung-ho and careless with them... I do an occasional trim, and a bit of edging and that's it!

    Never have removed the hair there and shocked that so many seem to have bought into the idea that somehow hair is dirty and or not natural! :eek: However it's a personal choice, just not mine.

    Would love to know when this became the 'norm'

    I honestly think it's related to the rise of on-line !!!!!!. I was looking at some pictures taken in barracks rooms in the early 80s. All the pin ups had full and flowing bushes. Hell, back then legs weren't even shaven.

    Trim the sides so they don't escape the bathing suit was the norm. Still is I guess.

    I remember the love of my life telling me not to shave it ever again because it made him think of a little girl and it was off putting.

    Look at the !!!!!! stars they've waxed and whitened themselves so much that the young men of today think it's the norm and expect it.

    Waxin? Never heard of it before "Sex and the City"

    I agree, !!!!!! does have alot to answer for. Though in my case i had never seen any !!!!!! films at that age where the woman was shaven i just took it on myself to shave it off as it cringed me out:o
