That’s because you’re noseblind — hair traps smells, you have to shave your armpits semi-regularly otherwise they will just stink. Deodorant and hygiene notwithstanding.
I do notice my body odor if I skip deodorant in the morning or do something more active physically. So I wouldn’t think I’m that nose blind.
I haven’t shaved my armpits in years now and it’s fine. Regular showers and deodorant is enough for me.
I do remember when I did shave that it seemed I sweated a lot more. Like the moisture would just drip down my side. Hair seemed to prevent that. My theory is that hair provides more surface area for evaporation, but I have only anecdotal evidence.
You seemingly sweat more when you’ve shaven because the hair isn’t there to absorb the moisture.

I don’t know where you got this from, but I promise you that you are sweating the exact same amount before and after you shave. This is simply how human body odor works, hair traps smells. If you are used to your smells, you are used to your smells. The same goes for your girlfriend.
Unless you just happen to live in a place that’s cold and sweat less, which I suppose is possible.
Edit: the word is hygroscopic, your hair is hygroscopic.
But if I don’t my deodorant will fail after like 3 hours, and no one wants that.
I want that :3c
It’s the opposite for me. Hair seems to wick the moisture off the skin and deodorant persist longer for me.
When I shaved the sweat just kind of sat there without really evaporating and the deodorant just got sucked into the clothes more.

Dunno, neither me nor my SO notice it.

My hair just holds the moisture close to my skin. It also gets in the way of the deodorant actually making it onto my skin.
