Is it weird to shave/wax/defluff your arms?

[Pinot]

I looked at my arm hair yesterday glinting in the sunlight and wanted to shave it off and be all smooth. Mine is v fair but still...

Is this weird?

Do you do it?

Should I?

Noooooo don't do it!

I did it once, and arm stubble growing back looks hideous.

I used to do it when I was in school and now it's fairly dark... so I just leave it now, I never know whether to believe the "it'll grow back thicker" tosh because my hair always has grown back darker.

oh god arm stubble :o haha hadn't thought that through.

I don't do it but plenty of people do. You'll be told off I fear, but they're your arms and you should do as you please!

Probably better to wax rather than shave though, arm stubble doesn't sound too appealing.

I know someone who did, and yes, it is weird.

I'm tempted to do this.

Also I have a beard and mustache but it's that fine blonde fluff, should I remove and how?

Sorry for mini hijack lovely Pinot

see, this is what happens when I get bored. I start looking for things to do.

'ello puffin darling :)

Shall we do it?

I always get rid of the 'tache. Even if it's fine and fair, it still glints

I did it when I was 10. It went stubbly.

Being blessed with werewolf arms I now trim it and bleach it every so often.

thisweek The Boots own or Parissa waxing strips are pretty good for top lips. The Parissa ones are very sticky though so best once you've got the knack of it.

I have quite hairy arms (but very pale hair) and have never removed it. I used to live in Japan and felt quite self-conscious sometimes, because as well as most Japanese women being naturally less hairy than Westerners, it is common there to remove arm hair.

I really couldn't be bothered with it and got used to feeling like a Neanderthal, but then I also didn't fit in with other Japanese feminine norms, like always wearing make-up, or wearing tights in the summer.

I suppose if you are generally a fairly groomed type of person and you like wearing sleeveless tops in the summer it might appeal.

*I do it as although blonde hairs by arms do resemble a gorilla when I don't de-fuzz

Do you think we will look like pod people though?

My tash isn't too bad but my cheeks/sideburns are doing the glinting thing. Is hair removal cream best? I keep reading that you shouldn't bother when it's blonde/fine but but I don't want a hairy face like a blonde wookie

No.

Hairless arms look dead odd.

I can understand why people with very olive skin/thick luscious arm-pelts might want to do it but fair hair?! Non!

Also don't shave your muff unless you are prepared to be stabbed in the minge by your own stubble over the course of the next month, but that's not for here...

Wah!

I was all ready to do it and now Lumpy throws in a spanner. And an amusing anecdote about minge stabbing :o

No, no, no! As long as you lather on tbd Vaseline after shaving your foof you won't get stubble rash

lumpy I look odder with hairy arms than with hairless arms

I just think it's nice to look human and strong and sensual and ALIVE, you know? Animally. Dangerous. As of nature.

I mean. look at this woman. Way too busy shagging in caves and emitting a powerful stench of sandalwood and sex to be worrying about the glint of sunlight upon her arm hair. Indeed, I imagine the glint of sunlight upon her armhair emits a sort of Morse-code of lust.

I realise not everyone thinks looking like a Celtic warlock is a good thing

hotheels really?!

It's all the shaving round corners that troubles me, minge-wise. But as I say, that's another thread And I cannot defend a bare minge when I don't shave my pits

Celtic warlock? What a fantastic idea for a nick name!!
Yes its true for me lumpy

vaseline on your vaginé? Do you not, well, sliiiiiiiiide?

That may not be a bad thing

arf @ celtic warlock as a style icon

Yep I can see what your saying about the slipperyness that's why I do it

heh heh
