Shaving Legs?
When I used to swim in a pool during winter, my back would get so dry. I had to use a bath brush and apply lotion to my back at the gym. You could apply the Nair with a bath brush and then rinse in the shower with a hand held shower nozzle.

I agree. Get waxed! It's life changing. I wax ALL THE THINGS now and never shave anything. You shouldn't need to move strangely, just lay there :)

omg, last night I checked out the price of waxing at my hair salon and it's stupidly expensive! It might be cheaper elsewhere in town though.
I'm currently leaning toward "just deal with it" and Nair.

Yeah, I'd say shop around. I know of a great place in Prince Frederick though, that's actually where I started getting waxed. Here I spend $30 on legs and $15 on my armpits (and $50 on a Brazillian). I have really fine/blonde hair on my legs so I only need do them every 6-8 weeks. My under arms I could do every 2-3. The more you do it the less grows back in.

Interesting. Thanks!
The nice thing about the brachioplasty is that it removed most/all (I can't quite tell yet) of my armpit hair. So at least I don't need to worry about that!

And the sweat glands! It's such a trip not needing deodorant/anti-perspirant!

No kidding! I feel like I have a bit of a "post surgery smell" about me which is a combination of incisions + compression garments (not an infection smell, just a not quite Gwen smell) but it's so weird to have not smelled any whiff of my armpit smell knowing that I haven't even looked at my stick of deodorant since June 4 :P

Oh, post-surgery smell is totally a thing. I think, for me, it was mostly the compression. Those synthetic fabrics definitely have their own signature scent which never really washes out.
We just had a killer heat wave weekend and I kept sticking my nose in my pits because it's like i'm waiting for seven weeks of pit stank to gush out of them and scream "HA HA! GOTCHA!" or something.
Now what to do with all those sticks of deodorant I have?

Yeah, no kidding. I need to find a good home for my old deodorant. It's good stuff too! And unisex, so maybe Lance will be interested in it.
I assume that there might still be sweat occasionally? But I guess I'll find out. I only ever wore deodorant except for "special" occasions when I really didn't want to sweat because anti-perspirant tended to give me a rash.
