Do you shave your arms?

After surgery, I had little problem with hairy arms, chest, or leg hair. I have no need to shave those areas anymore. Just the armpits once a month.

I just gave this a try after seeing this topic and wow does it feel amazing!

Don't think I can go back to hairy again

I've been on estrogen for two years and I only  shave my body hair like once every 6 months. I wish my facial hair was like that.

Pfeh.  The freckles on my arms are so dark, you can't see the hair anyway.  Same goes for my legs... you can't really tell that I've skipped a week.

And then in some cultures a somewhat hirsute woman may be considered more desirable.  I am happy to encourage other women to skip shaving their arm pits and legs so why not allow myself that same option?  Because I identify with some stereotypes of my own is what I now conclude.  Soft and smooth feels "right" even if it doesn't make sense.

When I have gone in to the big cosmetology clinic for laser the place is almost all women being served.  I do feel funny about literally buying in to these standards of beauty.

I keep a razor in the shower and do a once over every morning when I'm getting ready. I'm not out yet though, so it makes me a bit nervous, no one seems to say anything though.
