Under arm shaving!

I've never had to shave under my arms. It runs in our family - for the women.

I don't need to shave anywhere now it has all gone.

I never need to shave under arm these days. No one told me that one of the benefits of getting older was that I would become less hairy - except my chin. Why the chin?

I only periodically shave my armpits as i don't think much hair grows there now. I used to shave my arms as a teenager/20s as they were very hairy. At school i used to be teased with comments like "I think I can see Tarzan in the jungle". I think i was in my 40s when i suddenly with glee realised hair doesnt grow there any more!

I shave legs and underarms regularly and bikini area during summer in case I go on a beach or swimming but winter months I adopt the gorilla state down there though the gorilla is slowly balding nowadays.
I always wash with a tea tree shower gel after shaving to prevent any soreness afterwards. I
As others my tash and beard area need attention too nowadays . I pluck or use some facial hair removal cream ..veet I think no it's called but don't like the smell of the feeling once done . I find waxing too expensive ..at least salon prices are , not tried homes waxing.
Has anyone tried a nono?

For the last year or so..only need to shave under right arm...left is bald ?

I've never had much body hair but do shave my legs and underarms on a regular basis - legs usually when I'm using a body scrub for false tanning. I too rarely wear anything sleeveless. I bought a no no for my upper lip and other facial hair but sometimes use an epilator for that - ouch ouch ouch!!

Very little in my armpits these days. Legs need sorting out only rarely. The "other bits" are a different matter though and need attention regularly. I'll never use a cream there again though. Once was quite enough and I'm still getting over the agony!

I've shaved under my arms from my teens - my mum was a dancer and encouraged it - and have also done my legs too. It's become a habit and one I'm not intending to change. It doesn't take long after all. I've tried creams but don't get on with them.

I use a cream hair remover in the shower on armpits and legs. Stopped shaving them as used to cut myself! ?

Wax is the way to go. I find I only have to do it about 4 times a year now.

My armpit hair disappeared when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism; my eyebrows became a bit sparse and I don't have enough hair on my legs to justify waxing. My hair has always been fine but is now also quite thin, though my hairdresser usually manages to style it to look thicker than it is.

I find I don't have much underarm hair nowadays. Just as well as my frozen shoulder makes one side very difficult to get at. Legs still need doing fairly often. Last time I went to the doctor he asked if something had bitten my ankle. I told him I'd just cut myself shaving and he gave me a very odd look. Perhaps he thinks elderly ladies don't mind hairy legs?

I do underarms and legs regularly. Bikini area if going swimming.

I very rarely shave my underarms and don't wear sleeveless clothes. If I'm swimming anyone who is offended (why?) shouldn't look. I do have hairy legs, and always have had, but almost always wear trousers. Life is too short to shave.

I only ever shave my underarms if I want to wear anything sleeveless, or when I go on holiday. The rest of the time I don't. As for my legs, they've never been hairy. Only very fine hair along my shin bone, so I don't shave them either.

Do underarms and legs every other day not much hair under my arms anymore though no such luck with the legs.

I bought a mirror to take on holiday to keep facial hair in check. However, I didn't realise that it was normal one side and 10 x magnifying on the other!! What a horrible shock seeing my poor face magnified so much - it looked awful. Great for seeing all the stray whiskers, shame about all the HUGE pores etc

Just attacked underarms two days ago and have been itchy ever since! Resorted to dh's manly smelling after shave balm this morning. Memo to self-buy new razors!

Just put deodorant on said area and it stings like mad.
Oh what we do for vanity!

What a palaver indeed! I used an electric epilator on my legs and after about a year the hairs threw in the towel and admitted defeat. Since I always wear trousers now, it matters not one bit anyway. I never shaved my underarms very often - but now nothing grows there, so that is good. As to the attention to the pubes - I leave them be (and always have) and let them live their lives in peace.

I have shaved my underarms every day for the last 55 years, it is just part of my morning routine. When I injured my shoulder a year or so ago I couldn't lift the arm to shave that side and wondered whether I would find that my armpits didn't actually need shaving any more. However, alas, that one grew just as bushy as the rest of me. Unfortunately I find that legs and pubes are still as hairy and dark as ever. I shave the bottom half of my legs every day in the summer and only on exercise class days in the winter. I have no partner to see the rest! I whizz my moustache and chin every day too. This doesn't catch the coarse hairs, so they are plucked every few days with the aid of a bright light and magnifying mirror. What a palaver!

Haven't needed to attack legs or underarms for years, not a hair in sight.
Face is a different matter.

Same here, GrandmaMoira. I'm shaving different bits of me these days.
