Which is, coincidentally, about how old you'd look if you shaved everything below the neck.

Oh heck, I was just looking at the last posts (2012) before the respawn
i can grow a beard in a few days. my chest and back are covered, shoulders, pits, legs, arms all hairy and have been since i was 17 or so.
i never understood shaving to please anyone else. if you want to do it for you, by all means go for it. i, for one, am happy the way i am and don't feel the need to have to shave because hair is "gross"

I do. I'VE Actually gotten waxed from the neck down and still have my back waxed from time to time. I to feel much more comfortable hairless. hairless rocks!

Bonus, if you keep your pits shaved bacteria doesn't grow. i haven't need antiperspirant of deodorant for years
Welp, there’s one way to ensure adequate social distancing.
No, seriously, no BO. try it. you might be surprised. also, it helps to have a decent diet.
This thread is hilarious.
I hadn't noticed it on any of its earlier incarnations, but what better reading could there be on a Saturday night when normal social interactions are suspended for now?
And, on the topic of suspensions, I am also stuck by the number of posters from the original thread who are no longer with us.

Personally, I've stopped shaving altogether. If I'm going to have to be a hermit I might as well look the part.

Link please. As I understand it bacteria feeds on sweat, not hair.
Reading A Confederacy of Dunces and going through a bottle of scotch?
That is a good start.
Meanwhile, for me, the answer would be reading Hilary Mantel, accompanied by a welcome (glass of? bottle of?) white Burgundy.

There's no link, because that's a total fallacy, the apocrine glands in armpits produce more protein, and that's all trapped in a hot, wet, dark area, i.e., more bateria, more smell.
The only slight correlation I've seen between shaved pits and less smell is [potentially] easier cleaning and/or better surface contact with products. The hair, or lack thereof, doesn't mean much, it's really a genetic thing (which is why some smooth pit folks have stronger BO, and some folks who are pretty hairy can have almost none).
I read an interesting article about different types of sweat glands, armpits vs say the arm where the former produces much more stink than other areas of the body for the reasons you mentioned.
depends on the customer, the things I have done for a klondike bar............... I mean NO.
