Who shaves their arms? ?

Question

just wondering. because people say it's REALLY bad to shave them. but we shave our legs and stuff, so what's so different about our arms? :s.

Answer 1

My mom always said we need our hair to protect our skin..

But I do shave my arms also.. sorry mom!

I don't think it hurts anything.

But something you might want to try is veet or nair. It gets it all at once.. especially the first time you do it

Answer 2

I shaved my arms from the time i was 11 till 16. It got really bothersome to have to shave arms, then legs and armpits. And it just keeps getting darker and darker. I finally stopped and haven't shaved for two years and am so happy I did. No one really is trippin' off you hair on your arms :D and it doesn't look that bad!  

Answer 3

i've been doing it for like two years and i love it.  everyone always comments on how soft and smooth my arms are, and despite all the "growing back thicker" stuff i've heard, on me it grows back really light blonde and not thick at all. so i would deff reccomend it. just make sure you moisturise after shaving! :)

Answer 4

i do, in fact i did today. people say it is bad but all it does is when your hair grows back, it grows in darker because it doesn't get any sunlight under your skin

Answer 5

My friend shaves her arms. I asked her about probs w/ it. She said occasionally, when she hasn't shaved, a male friend will rub her arm and be like 'what the' other than that she likes it better than hairy arms.

Answer 6

First off you have to remove the silly wives tales about it growing back thicker.  Go to snopes.com and see the truth about that.  Second I have done this for well over ten years now and it is nice and clean.  I shave everything and yes I am a guy, not g*y, and not metro.  I just like the clean sleek feel.  I am faster in my swimming too.lol jk but I am just a non hair liking person I guess.    You might say I am racial towards hair.lol

Answer 7

Answer 10

i dont

Answer 11

my sister does

Answer 12

I did it last year, then 3 months later I started again. Now I stopped cause I got razor burn :] :/

Answer 13

they say it is really bad because if you shave your arms it will grow thicker, and it's not easy to cover i up. you should wax instead, it lasts longer, makes your hair thinner and softer, and over time, reduces theamount of hair that grows on your arm. trust me, my mom did that, and now, she isn't even 40, and she barely has any.

Answer 14

i shave my arms. nothing bad can happen to you if you do.
