What good is it to shave your armpits? To be honest I think it would make your scent control have adverse effects rather than your desired result. When you have stench from your armpits it is because their is bacteria growing under your arms. (bacteria grows best in dark moist places and can grow very quickly, So within a 6 hour period some can get B.O.) Your armpit hair, (as long as it is clean to begin with) helps dry your armpits and keeps the bacteria from forming as quickly, so by shaving it, wouldnt you be inhibiting bacteria growth and therefor increasing odor from your armpits...? I'm just going out on a limb and thinking you should just buy some odorless deodorent and keep your pit hair. Youre pry doing more bad than good.
