Question

Does every man do this?

Community Answer

No, not every man. Some do it because armpit hair can smell, become itchy, or they or someone else does not like it.

Question

Can I ask someone to shave my armpits?

Community Answer

Yes, but you need to trust the person. Otherwise, you won't be able to relax during the shaving process.

Question

What's the purpose of shaving cream when shaving hairy parts?

Community Answer

Shaving cream stimulates the pores and makes the hairs stand upright, making them easier to shave. It also acts as a lubricant for the razor, making it glide smoothly and avoiding chafing and scraping. Some also include antiseptics which help keep the pores from getting infected, and moisturizers, which help protect the skin.
