I have occasionally shaved my pubic area and it does itch as it grows back. This is not the case for me in my armpit area. Is itching what you meant? Or being scratched by your own stubble?
Man, 20 here. I keep my pit hairs trimmed down, and one time I did shave them. I didn’t notice any extra or less smelliness - but the pit stains on my shirt were a lot bigger/wider/longer. (I’m a waiter, and I get VERY sweaty at our place when it’s warm weather, coupled with carrying stuff constantly, and popping in and out of the kitchen (read: furnace) every 5 mins).
So it would seem the pit hairs do soak up a little of the sweat, but mine generally doesn’t smell too bad most of the time anyway.
With me, it’s more like…I don’t know, it just feels grosser. Also if I’m hairless, I can get away with no deodorant but I HAVE to wear it if I’m hairy.
Both, really.
Yes, this model was skinny even by fashion model standards. But maybe it’s also just one of those individual things.
As far as shaving/depilating the undercarriage…I don’t itch. Maybe I’m just used to it by now.
But whoever invented the Venus razor deserves a Nobel prize.
Have you guys (as in males) tried using a Venus razor for body shaving? The shape of the head is perfect for that stuff.
Yes! And they have a five-blader now too.

I shave both underarms and legs pretty regularly (female). I also shave my pubic area…not completely, that just icks me out, honestly, plus, as I discovered the one time I did, I have some little stretch marks right at the top…ewww, REAL attractive:rolleyes:
I just take off everything but the patch up top/in front. I find it much more comfortable and attractive and no worries about flashing pubes in the swimsuit. It doesn’t ITCH growing back if you don’t LET it grow back. 
I’ve done both unshaven and shaven pits, and could go either way, honestly. I do find that shaving helps reduce any odor, since the hair is there (imo, though some debate this) to trap and disperse odor/phermones), plus, you can apply deoderant more effectively to shaven skin, PLUS hair provides much more habitat per square inch for organism that cause odor. But I’ve used crystal deoderant for years and that shit works (for me, at least) Zero odor, since it inhibits the growth of the bacteria at fault.
If anyone has hard science on this issue, pop on over to wikipedia and do some good:
One of the least helpful entries i’ve ever seen.
Honestly, it’s been about five years since I’ve done it. A minute seemed like an okay estimate. The OP used 40 seconds as the estimate, so cut my water calculation by 1/3 and you still have 15,600 gallons of water over fifty years of shaving three times a week.
In reality, even if it was only five gallons of water the results still aren’t worth it to me. I just don’t give a damn about my armpit hair.
So I guess this is a poll?
Hello, I am MALE, a little nervous. I do shave my armpits. With an electric razor thing. I tried to shave my knutts with the same device and it was HELL. You don’t want to do that. Knutts have to be shaved by hand!

Yes I do, because i don’t like my armpit hair. My leg hair only needs to be maintained once a month.
Female, 46, and I shave, cut or pluck just about everything. I feel cleaner and get a lot more attention from my SO when I do. He recently, to my chagrin, shaved his pits, chest and belly. :eek: I loved his belly hair! I loved his chest hair! Now I’m impatiently waiting for it to grow back. The 'nads, meh, shaved or not, it’s all good.
He said he did it on a whim and I say he can no longer shower without supervision.
Do you ever use this? 
OK, I just have to say it; so shaving your PITS somehow emasculates you but shaving your “'nads” DOESN’T? 
Last time I checked (yes it’s been a while, but still…) both sexes had pits…'nads are by far the more exclusive feature denoting masculinity.
Just saying…
And as for using Nads ON the 'nads…makes even me, nad-less female, cringe!
I am a woman and I refuse to shave anything. I decided a few years ago that it was yet another double standard that women are subjected to … why is hair on a man fine, while hair on a woman is disgusting? That makes absolutely no sense. It’s just hair, and despite what the kind folks at Gillette tell us, there is nothing wrong with it. So, I refuse to do it out of principle. I also don’t pluck my eyebrows, and I will not wear makeup or high heels. Guess what? I still look like a girl! Imagine that.
