Hi guys.As we all know many men especially models,actors and normal people shave their underarms.A lot of people when they see these guys characterize them 'gay' and they disapprove them with their friends.Well, i want to shave my underarms just to try it and say 'yes i tried this out once in a lifetime' i am not a model or an athlete but i want to try it..what is your opinion? is it actually 'ferminity'? or it is normal? what do you think?

I'm 23 have full tattoo sleeves, hands, ribs, chest and stomach tattooed. In shape but not super athletic, just job a bit. And I shave my underarms completely. I do it to help with sweating through my dress shirts. shaving plus using certain dry (antiperspirant) has completely solved this. I would recommend trimming before you shave so you don't have to go over the same area multiple times the first time. Nothing gay about it.

I will also say that I've heard it helps with body odor as the sweat doesn't stay stuck in your armpit hair all day. And honestly I don't think it's as noticeable to people as you would think. I've never had any of my friends say anything.

Do not shave them.

The stubble is horrible. Use nair. I do it every 3 weeks or so, for 8 mins then hop in the shower. I've been doing this for the past 12 years.

It's a lot more hygienic, and who sees your underarms anyway?

I don't seem to have any problem with the stubble I may just be used to it though. Also I shave probably every three days.

I use a crystal deodorant. As some of you who use this deodorant know, it works much better without underarm hair. I shave mine every 3 days or so.

There is absolutely nothing gay about shaving your armpits and it really helps with sweating too. I have never felt stubble annoy me or cause me pain. But at rare cases it might itch after the first time.
