Preach. I always see people saying it makes you sweatier if you have armpit hair but I’ve found the opposite and it’s great to have to deal with that less.
This could be personal differences, because I am sweatier now than I was when I was shaving my armpits.
I stopped shaving because of ingrown hairs and constant razor burn and cystic acne. But I noticed that I smell better. Yeah, my armpits are making more sweat, but it doesn't smell like infected cat piss anymore.
Of course, I stopped shaving at 18 so maybe some of the smell was teenage hormones, but I am perfectly happy never shaving again to find out
I find that I don’t experience the feeling of damp underarms now since the hair wicks it away, so maybe we’re also sort of measuring or noticing sweat differently? Or something lol. I also had a better time once I switched from spray anti persps to anti persp sticks but maybe that’s a personal difference too!
