My armpits are strong, and baking soda + Mitchum works fine, but I hate having to do it twice a day. So I found out that shaving the hair off your armpits helps a lot. So I did. Now I can't close my armpits because it stings. Anyway to get rid of that?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

You'll eventually get use to it. It'll stop hurting after a few times you shave it. I think your skin gets stronger or something I don't know. It hurt me a lot at first too, but now I don't even notice it.

yea sweat and deodorant into scratches or razor irritation can be a pain. just dont go to aggressive at it and you will get used to it.

I shave and yah, at first it stings. The more you do it the less it stings, however. By shaving it gives the bacteria a lot less surface area to breed (hair has a lot of it) and therefore it cuts down on the smell. You still need to use deoderant though.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I would just get an electric hair/beard trimmer and clip the hair with those. That way you can still get a close cut but without the nics of a razor blade.

I prefer the close shave of a manual razor. To each his own I guess.
