Do you think this would be safe to do for the unhippy pits?

Sometimes BS burns the side of my head, like behind my ears (although that might just be because of some dry skin), and my armpits are very sensetive to certain deo's and even the fancy little protection strip on razors (which all started after rubbing natural orange extract/essential oil in them a couple years ago resulting in serious burning).

I'd love to do this too though, because I use a sugar scrub for my body which is far too harsh for the pits, I usually don't wash them (gross, I know). I bet it would even work as a shave gel of sorts..

hmmm. in your situation, i'd start with the regular no 'poo concentration and see if that does anything. if it burns or still smells.

i'm sure it'll work for shaved pits. maybe do the BS scrub before the shave? i think that'd be your best bet. it'll sure reduce the chance of stinging. do you gurrently use shave gel? i think it's too ouchy to use as your shave gel. eek!

Oh, don't use it shortly after shaving - just like using deoderants after shaving, it'll sting. Beforehand should be fine.

I use some Lime Pie JASEN stuff to shave my pits/legs now, which is one of the few things that doesn't irritate my armpits. But I'm definately going to try this out tonight when I shower and shave.

I know this post is a little old, but I'm wondering- how did it go?

It worked OK. Nothing spectacular. I just used a little baking soda paste, and did the shave. It didn't get as close though, as regular shaving gel or cream works. I had to them again the following day (but with regular stuff) because I was going to the beach and didn't want to offend anyone (mostly my boyfriend). Ha.
