After years of getting fully waxed (including armpits) several times per year, I decided to go for permanent hair removal all over my body. And I can honestly say that it was the best decision I ever made. No more pain of all the waxing sessions, no more ingrown hairs, always smooth, it is perfect. And If I count all the expenses I made after 17 years of waxing, then the permanent hair removal was a lot cheaper.
So I never have to shave or wax my armpits anymore. I think it looks great on men when they don't have hairy armpits. I would argue the same for the rest of the bodyhair. :-)
There are a lot of threads where people are talking about shaving their pubes, but not much discussion on armpit hair. How many men here remove their armpit hair, whether it be shave, wax or laxer?The reason I ask because it seems like not many men today do it. Society always make it seem like a woman thing. But ever since I started having my armpits waxed last year, I've really loved it and can't go back to hairy armpits again. It feels much cleaner and really reduces body odor. In fact, I don't even have to put on deodorant anymore because the lack of hair keeps the pits clean and fresh. If I sweat there, it dries up very quickly since there's no hair to retain the moisture.
I don't do that regularly, but since I shave my chest, legs, and back, leaving just the armpits hair makes no sense, so I just shave it with a razor. I used to wax too, but it was just too painful and not convenient given the small effort it requires to just use a razor every now and then.
I keep my underarm hair trimmed short - at around 1 cm (around 0.5 in). Mostly, I do this because I like how it looks, and feels. However, similar to other folks posting in this topic, I've also found that I don't need as much (or any) deodorant when I keep my underarm hair short.
Do what feels right for you. If you like it short, keep it short. If you like it long, keep it long. If you like it shaved, keep it shaved.
I shave my underarm hair as I had many ingrown infected hairs when I was younger so when I became a nudist (late at 40) I decided to shave my underarms and my pubic hair.
Would love to see your IPL machine in use
