Should Men Shave Their Armpits?

!±8± Should Men Shave Their Armpits?

Our under arm hairs, at least for men, have always been a normal part of our appearance. Of course seeing a woman with hairy armpits is not pleasing at all, but now a days many men have also decided to get a more cleaner appearance by shaving their armpit hair.

Lots of men, such as swimmers, shave there armpits for more speed in the water, but now men who frequent the beach or just want to have a better appearance, are shaving off the under arm hairs as well. Many women like this change. I asked a bunch of my female co-workers what they thought of men who shaved their armpits, I was surprised to hear that they actually thought it made a guy look hotter when he was hairless, not only in the armpits but having a clean chest and back as well. They said this new look took men's appearance to the next level, and they also thought that men who shaved was attractive as well because it shows that he takes risks and doesn't care if other men think it's weird.

Well, with my newest test product arrival, the Phillips Norelco Body Groom, I decide to take the risk and shave my armpits. Not only to see if it gave my arms a better aspect but also to see if it helped decrease body odor. I have to admit, it was a bit scary putting up the shaver near my arm, but no blood was shed and it was a great help that the Phillips Body Groom is cordless and waterproof.

I was afraid that shaving my armpits would cause itching afterwards, like when you shave your pubic hairs, but luckily this didn't occur. When I looked at my shaved armpits in the mirror, it was kind of weird but I could grasp the "clean look", now the question was, aside from getting a better image, why should I shave my armpits? I mean, at the least it should give me less B.O.

So it's been about a week, and from what I've realized, my body odor isn't as deadly as it was before. I use deodorant regularly as always, but now it seems to last longer and I'm glad that there hasn't been any itching or razor burn.

So I guess shaving your armpits isn't such a bad idea for men, just make sure you use the right tools, such as the Body Groom, and only do it if you show off your body torso a lot or want to lower your body odor.

How to Select an Electric Shaver That Fits Your Needs

!±8± How to Select an Electric Shaver That Fits Your Needs

There's a wide variety of electric shavers available on the market today. Whether you are looking for your first shaver, or to replace an aging one, here are some points to consider as you search for the perfect shaver for you or a loved one.

First decide on how much you want to spend. You can find electric shavers ranging in price from around .00 to 0.00.

Do you have a brand preference? The top brands are Braun, Panasonic, Wahl, Remington, Norelco and Shavertronics. Look for deals on the manufacturers websites, and check with Amazon.com or other shopping sites.

Do you need a portable shaver? If you travel a lot, then probably yes. Though many current models are portable or semi-portable, with batteries that last for up to 50 shaves. Additionally, many of the chargers accept a wide variety of line voltages, allowing you to bring the charger with you.

Cleaning methods vary. Some shavers can be rinsed in running water, some have their own cleaning systems with special fluids that also lubricate the unit, for less wear and longer life.

Do you need a case for travel?

Finally, ask your friends what they use, and how they like their shaver.

Comparing Electric Shavers

Here are the important points to consider when comparison shopping:

1) Rotary head or foil head? Foil shavers are supposed to give the closest shave, but the longer neck hairs are difficult to get with this type of shaver. To get a really close shave, you generally have to apply some pressure to the skin. Some foil head shaver manufacturers have partnered with safety razor makers (Braun and Gillette for one) to design advanced cutting systems that are great improvements over older designs. Check it out!

Rotary shavers are easier to use on contour surfaces such as the chin. They use three blades covered by foils. These foil/blade combos are spring loaded, to follow the contour of the face. The rotating blades cut the facial hairs as they enter the foil openings.

2) How long is the trial period from the manufacturer? If you are switching from a razor, it can take 2 to 4 weeks to really find out if the electric shaver is for you.

3) How long does it take to charge the unit? Can you get a quick re-charge, or use it while it's plugged in? How long will it hold it's charge? Are there indicators for how much charge is left on the battery?

4) Some electric shavers have trimmers for beards, mustaches and sideburns. Some do not.

Final Thoughts

Your next step is to start looking at the various models. Do some research online, and ask a few of your friends what they use and how satisfied they are. Then go ahead an purchase one. You generally have 30 days to test and return it.
