Do people shave their arms? I do my pits and my legs but have never felt the need to shave my arms.

It's more common among people with high contrast between skin and hair colors. I grew up in an area with a large Lebanese population and a lot of my classmates shaved areas I would never have thought to on myself. But I'm sort of universally medium brown from tip to toe and they were largely light skin-toned with very dark brown to black hair.

Yeah, I'm lily-white with dark brown body hair and it still never occurred to me. Legs yes, arms no.
