Why I shave my armpits

Not every woman /man does shave her/his armpits, and no one has to if he/she doesn't want to – it's a choice thing.

You can either grow your armpit hair, so that it looks like you have a little hamster nestling under there, or you can whip out a razor and shave off the hair in a few seconds.I shave my armpit hair because its mousy-coloured and not very luxurious.

Also, I suspect it makes my deodorant work better and I don't fancy being a sweaty, smelly guy.

If shaving hurt me or was very costly, I wouldn't do it, but I was brought up at a time when it was the "normal" thing to do, and not doing it meant you were a bit "weird". This is nonsense, of course, but sadly you still have to be quite brave not to do the stuff that everyone else does.

The strange thing is, now that I'm older and I mostly do what I like, I still shave my armpits. I do it without even thinking and it takes about 10 seconds once a week.
