I like both on me....a full pit sometimes, then a full shave other times. I like the way it feels when it grows back in. Sort of prickly. I'm a white boy, alot of hair in the puts, however, not out of control.
I clipper out first.
Then do a full shave with shaving cream.
Then repeat the shave with just regular soap lather.
Lastly, I smooth lotion at that time and a day or two later....
I just did a full shave about 35 days ago...I noticed my pitts smell really bad, really fast w/out the hair. Sort of suprised me.
