Some people will go to any length to get a full Brazilian.
But I do know what you mean. I am the proud “wearer” of seven coronary stents. Every time one goes in, they shave me down there in order to go up the femoral artery. But the arms, oh no, they leave those hairs alone. When it is time to remove all those tubes they yank the tape and my arm hairs with them. OUCH!!!
