@Hijak posted this a while ago in another thread ( not @Hijak s wrist ) thought it was a cracker

Was looking for this on my computer to post here but couldn't find it....thanks Standy! I guess some people need to wear a big thick watch to overcome their arm hair!😲 And Al, thought that was a monkey arm until I read post!😲😲 (Double eek)

An open-comb razor might be just the thing for lopping off the unruly arm hair, yet without a bald spot as a result.

@Hijak

Not an uncommon sight among those who sharpen their own knives and razors, and need a spot to 'check' the sharpness 👍

An electric beard trimmer would would work well for thinning the crop.

... I suppose I'd never make it as a 'wrist model'... unless I shave...😲

You know, in think Ariel Adams from A Blog to Watch shaves. In the pictures on his site, the arm hairs don't look quite right. It's hard to describe exactly. Maybe it's that they are all the same length and the diameter is uniform along the entire length.

I have to admit to trying to tame mine before putting on a watch...

This may work better

Well, this thread is unusual for sure, and brought back memories of another thread I saw on car forum once. It was linked through a BMW Z4 forum I was on at the time so I could not remember the actual forum this post was on, so I Googled for it and came up with it right away (I searched this yesterday using something like "epic hairy arm thread on car forum" and the 10 year old thread was near the top).

Some guy was asking about damage to a body kit he had ordered in and if he was right to refuse delivery of the damaged goods, and his photos included this one...

What followed were pages of comments about the hairy arm, and very little about the subject at hand (no pun intended)...I think that guy has everyone in this thread beat by a country mile...even the post immediately above this one.

My arms are not particularly hairy, so I have no personal pictures to show. I'll leave the rest of this thread to the guys who just have to pick a spot on their neck to stop shaving since their chest hairs just keep on going right up to their beards...

Cheers, Al

Wow [emoji15] The 4 fingers seen without a fully functional opposing retracted thumb. Al , are you sure that's a member of the homo sapiens species ?
Heck ! Did anyone ever thought of Bigfoot or a young adult Sasquatch to be precise peeking to take a closer look [emoji41] ?

Could be Sasquatch (or Sasqu-Watch 😉) for sure!

I have to admit to trying to 'tame' the wild ones before a pic using simple skin moisturizing cream, but if I'm going to wear an enamel-medallioned case-back watch I worry that any chemicals within might exacerbate wear...

The worst hairs are the ones that find their way between the strap and case...😲

Recently got a sleeve tattoo so shaved both arms. Be a while before it all grows back

That's a Bad Ass Tattoo [emoji15] AND it reminds me of the Guardian Warriors of the realm city of Asgard [emoji3]
Err...does it make sense to you ?
Movie Thor ? Chris Hemsworth ?
