Shaving
Burn Challenge
Ow!!
That Burns!!
The more
you understand about any subject,
the more interesting it becomes.
As you read this article you'll
find that the subject of female
shaving problems is certainly no
exception.
Unless you
live in France or some other
foreign country, where it's
accepted that females aren't
shaving their armpits, it's kind
of an unspoken rule that once you
have hair in your armpits, you
need to start shaving
it.
At least in
western societies, females are
considered uncouth or even
unkempt/unclean if they're not
shaving their armpits.

Just
consider the type of
negative press any
female well known in the
media gets if/when it's
revealed she's not
shaving her armpits.
Remember
that shot of Julia
Roberts with her arm
raised exposing a tuft
of dark hair?
No
matter how much we adore
Julia - On some level,
this tarnished her
"clean"
image.

You may
disagree with this and you may
even be justified to take
exception to society dictating
how you look, but the truth
remains that if you aren't
shaving your armpits, you're a
bit of an outcast.
I don't
know about you, but I believe
there are much more important
issues to deal with, like
stopping the use of animals for
testing cosmetic products,
protecting children from abuse,
preventing domestic violence of
all types, caring better for our
elderly citizens, right down to
cleaning up and preserving our
planet, to name a few ... That
are much more important than
whether or not I have to be
shaving my armpits.
I have a
good friend who often reminds me,
"Choose your battles wisely".
Which means we all need to decide
what issues are really important
enough to fight for. Frankly, not
shaving my armpits is not one of
them.
Politics
aside - It remains that shaving
our armpits is a "necessary
evil", if you will, of living in
this privileged
society.
So - The
issue becomes, what's the best
way of removing hair from our
armpits?
I haven't
heard it recommended that females
use a depilatory to remove under
arm hair. Probably because the
chemicals are too harsh for this
sensitive skin and there's a
rumor that these chemicals can be
easily absorbed in this
area.
Nor have I
heard about females having their
armpit hair waxed. And honestly,
I have to plead ignorance as to
why not. There are probably a
host of females who are having it
done, I just haven't come across
any information about it in my
research.
Those of
you not familiar with the latest
on female shaving problems now
have at least a basic
understanding. But there's more
to come.
That
brings us back to shaving our
armpits.
And while
that sounds simple enough, as
with most things, there's a
catch.
It's called
a wet razor. The shaving tool
introduced to me when it came my
time to start shaving my
armpits.
Unfortunately,
no one instructed me about the
proper ways to start shaving my
armpits with a wet razor, so the
majority of my life I just
suffered the fire under my arms
for the first couple of days
after shaving.
One thing I
don't understand - In my
research, I've seen it suggested,
repeatedly, that you can use a
white stick deodorant to limit
skin abrasions after shaving.
Yeah right -
It's a well
known fact, (and common sense
should tell you), and if all else
fails - Just read the back of any
deodorant ... The last thing you
want to do after, "scraping",
your skin raw with a razor is
apply a strong, chemical based
substance.
Hello
...
Instead,
just dust your armpits with a
talc free powder, or maybe a
little cornstarch. Both of these
work great on a baby's bottom to
prevent diaper rashes, so you
know they'll work to put out the
fire of shaving your
armpits.
Better yet
- You could do some research and
find out about newer, safer
shaving tools to help you stop
setting a fire when shaving your
armpits.
I haven't
had a fire from shaving my
armpits for years. And let me
tell you - What a
relief.
You can't
predict when knowing something
extra about female shaving
problems will come in handy. If
you learned anything new about
razor burn in this article, you
should file the article where you
can find it again.
