Do your pits burn when you shave `em?

[FunkyMonkee]

I was curious so, I shaved `em one night about 10 years ago and I was perfectly fine with it until I went to work the next day and started busting ass and sweating. THEY WERE ON FIRE THE REST OF THE DAY!!! The ONLY thing I found that I could do to at least quell it just a bit was to get a couple sheets of paper towel (the kind on a roll in the bathroom), fold them into a couple of 3" squares and put one in each of my pits!
A day or two later I mentioned this to a girl I knew and she kinda laughed and said, "You get used to it." Well, a few days ago, I shaved my face before getting a shower and then did a little running around in a store and got a bit sweaty under my neck from doing that and my neck was starting to burn the same way! I've been shaving for the past 40-some years!! If, after over 40 years of it, my neck is still burning when I get sweaty, OBVIOUSLY, I'm NOT getting used to it!!

I shave under my arms because they are so harry and my smell is much better when it is clean up under arms. I use Dial soap and have had no problems at all.

[FunkyMonkee]

Dial soap! I like the way that's spelled backwards!

Open your mouth and skull 💀 🧠 …I’ve got some cleaning 🧽 🧼 to do.

Fresh razor? Are you sensitive to the soap or shaving cream? Were you rough? Was it cold, could you have had goose bumps? These all contribute. I just shaved and felt nothing, as usual.

[FunkyMonkee]

I used my electric razor.

[dustybiker]

Oh yeah. Oddly that hurts mine too. Forgot about that. Years since I did it.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't think I CAN use a regular razor, now! I've got at least one skin tag in one of my pits, now. I'm pretty sure I know who I got `em from.

[dustybiker]

Tie a string around it. It’ll fall off. 😁

[FunkyMonkee]

It'd have to get someone to do it for me. It''s in my arm pit and I can't reach that spot with both hands.

[dustybiker]

I know. Which is why I grinned.

I’ve shaved them every time I shower for years and don’t remember that at all! And I use men’s razors too…

[FunkyMonkee]

I used my electric.

Maybe that’s part of the problem?

I've shaved my armpits my whole life...

shaving in general, has never given me any issues of irritation or anything like that

[Anonymous]

No, mine armpit hair is very scant, so no need to shave it.

[Anonymous]

No, sometimes they can be itch a little bit but for a specific reason.

[SnowedIn]

They do not. Fascinating story.

Use a straight razor next time, no burn

[austinbooth]
