Shells.

Six years ago, my dad bought me an electric razor.

Yesterday, FRTDNEATJ, I finally opened the packaging and shaved off some body hair. Not my legs, which were what he'd intended it for. Rather, I shaved my armpits. Even so, it was the first time I've shaved anything in at least seven years. Maybe over a decade; I've lost track. In any case, it's a bit less hair, and it feels more weird than anything.

I'm also in the "sinus blockage causing tooth pain" stage of a cold, which isn't helping my concentration for much of anything. I managed 500 words, and I'm going to call it off for the night and try to be content with that.

How one wears one's hair -- anywhere on one's body -- is one's personal preference. I support you and applaud you for making your own choices, no matter what these choices are.

Me, I like to shave my armpits and leave my leg hair as long as it will grow. I am currently trimming the ends of my (head)hair about once a year (because it's growing slowly.)

I'm so sorry you're in pain. *California Healing Vibes™*

(edit: geez, thanks autocorrect.)

Feel better soon. I had the current respiratory virus a couple of weeks ago and was truly miserable for several days before turning the corner.

I haven't shaved my armpits in decades, but I shave my legs every so often because I like the feeling.
