I know what I'm dressing as for Halloween next year.

Shave your arms up to your elbows. If anyone says anything about it say you took a cooking course on making pizza from scratch, and the instructors recommended shaving your hands and forearms if you were going to try hand-tossing the dough to limit contamination.

This guy bullshits

[-] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

Yes I need to keep you nearby

Men, if you have an issue with being too warm, and are hairy, that's likely correlated. During the heat wave this summer I did total body hair removal, and my comfortable temperature range went from like 72F to 80F

But, I have both hyperhydrosis and sweat triggered eczema, so staying cool is medically necessary for me.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

I'm hairy as fuck and cold all the time

How do I get more fur

Got a cat but he saps the heat from me. The animal has such cold paws sometimes, and knows how to warm them up with a human present. Just 5 mins tho, then he goes away for no reason

Global warming life pro tip right here.

[-] ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Being fully hairless just makes my clothes feel stickier in hot weather. Fine hair helps wick moisture. But ya, better than being fully furry if your hair grows in like a gorilla.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's just something that takes a bit of getting used to, but after a few weeks I didn't notice the weird feeling anymore.

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I'm covered in thick fur from my head to the tips of my toes. I usually run hot and feel most comfortable in 65-68 degree temperatures.

I did a full hair removal one summer - everything from the neck down - just to see if it would relieve me of the heat. Unfortunately, my hair also grows ridiculously fast. Not only did it fully grow back in less than a week, but it came back thicker! I now have fur patches in places I used to just have a few fine light hairs. Now I'm extra miserable in the heat.

Bonus cruelty: I was in the US military for 20 years and kept getting stationed in hot places, including a deployment to Africa and a deployment to Iraq, both during the summer. I actually developed a heat rash in Africa from sweating too much.

Hair doesn't grow back thicker when shaved; that's an old wives tale. The reason it feels thicker is that the ends of the hairs haven't been worn down yet. You can use a piece of denim as kinda sandpaper to smooth them out.

But yeah, I had to full body shave like every 3 days, so I just started using an epilator.

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Hair doesn't grow back thicker when shaved; that's an old wives tale.

People have been telling me that all my life, but that's exactly what happened to me. It doesn't grow thicker each time I shave, it was just a one-time thing. But where I used to have blonde peach fuzz, I now have thick, bushy, black hair. And it didn't change until I shaved it.

I was 28 at the time, so it wasn't a puberty thing either.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I didn't start growing my beard until about that time, so it could have been natural.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago

Must fully commit now. Fill bathtub with Nair. Take weekly baths in Nair.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

An epilator is more economical.

[-] Master@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

My everything crawled up inside me.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It's not all that bad after like the 3rd time doing it, especially if you do the prep right.

Weird enough, the most painful spot was my chest. I figured it would be pubes, but those weren't a big deal at all.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 11 months ago

Reminds me of this story. Sorry for the link to the other site, I couldn't find another source quickly

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 30 points 11 months ago

Thin out the hair on the arm to make it look natural...

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Gradual fade from wrist to elbow. Problem solved

[-] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Or wear gloves all the time and really standout.

Well do the rest of the arm and then paint fingernails

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 14 points 11 months ago

It's a blessing in disguise. He's just realized he's a walking canvas. So many possibilities!

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

If you did what I do for a living, you'd shave up to your elbow! Without a second thought. I'm lucky for not having that much body hair.

Apply moisturizer - that skin is sensible - and be prepared for ingrown hairs. And ~~h~~itching.

[-] tenacious_mucus@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago

Hitching? You mean this’ll get our man married?!

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 15 points 11 months ago

Every woman's crazy for the gorilla-tuxedo look.

[-] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Who said it was a man?

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't that be grand?

[-] kaleid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

That would be sensible.

[-] sheepishly@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

What do you do for a living?

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 11 months ago

Probs shaving arms.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 months ago

I work with substances nobody should really mess with and that implies wearing gloves for extended periods of time.

Pulling hairs out is a daily event and washing contaminants away when the gloves fail with that much hair - or any amount whatsoever - makes things harder.

[-] heydo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago
[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

I would sooner make gunpowder cotton or nitroglycerin instead.

[-] bran_buckler@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

My curiosity is piqued too! I’m mostly commenting so that I can check back later, but…

  • Are they wearing chain mail gloves (for sharks or cutting meat) that the hair would catch?

  • Going forearm deep in food, to stir or, I don’t know…?

  • Reaching into hot ovens or crucibles that the hair would singe?

  • Going forearm deep to help birth sheep or cows?

  • Or are they a wristwatch/hand model?

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

You must wear food grade gloves underneath the chain mail ones, regardless.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

also there's medical reasons to do so

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

That is a nice fur coat you have

[-] _apokalipto_@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

George Costanza? Is that you?

He's a hand model uou know, give the guy a break.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
