Heh. Hygiene, indeed. This is third-hand information, but a
translator colleague told me about this medical study she had
translated, where they'd discovered that women who shaved their
armpits were more susceptible to breast cancer. This was because the
aluminium that is present in most deodorants travels unobstructed
into the bloodstream through the open follicles, while if you have
armpit hair, they protect you against this.

One reason I stopped shaving is that my armpit skin is extremely
sensitive. Shaving + deoderant = owwwwwww.


I agree. And given a choice between shaving and deodorant, I'm gotta go
with the deodorant. Of course it was easier to make that decision when I
got to the point where I really shouldn't be out in public in anything
totally sleeveless.

(But when the heat tops 100F around here all bets are off for just about
everyone. If you absolutely have to go out)
