I challenged myself at the beginning of May to go a full month without shaving. It's June now, and I have successfully survived shave-free. I admit, I hated it at first. I felt icky and dirty and somehow fatter than I actually am, which I can find no reason to, but that's how it was. The hair growing back in was fairly painful and ridiculously itchy, but I did survive. After the first 2 weeks, things start to be a little less uncomfortable-- note that I didn't say comfortable, but at least it got better. The hair started growing out pretty long and by the end of the month, it was nice and soft-- silken, even. I went a couple more weeks without shaving my legs until I finally caved and shaved them for a graduation ceremony. My armpits, however, may become a permanent fixture. I find myself more comfortable and please with my underarms with hair down there. I sweat about the same as before, but smell better and feel better about it. The hair seems to protect me from chafing and abnormally sweaty underarms, and I kind of like the look of the fringe too. It's so very natural and chill. It properly exemplifies what a dirty hippie I actually am. Well, I mean, a dirty hippie who showers frequently and washes clothes. But one that recycles religiously, so good enough.
I guess we'll have to see where this takes me. BUT if I stop showering or something- someone
please stop me!
