Armpit Poodles

So as I've mentioned before, I sweat like a pig when giving a really vigorous massage. This is exacerbated by the fact that massage rooms are typically kept at a nice ripe 75°F and that we have to be wearing scrubs when giving massages (instead of, say, tank tops and panties). It is hot. Anyways, I literally sweat to the point somedays that my hair is clinging to my forehead and my eyeglasses keep sliding down my nose, and I SMELL RIPE (at least to myself). This sweating is not unusual, as others have complained of the same.

So my question is this:

Do I shave ye ol' armpit hair in the hopes of at least partially combatting this problem?

CONS: I like my armpit poodles--they keep me in-line, they are a constant reminder to rise above self-consciousness, they serve as a visual reminder to myself not to give a shit about what other people think about me, they are my f- you to the patriarchy (or at least to those who are scared o' hairy chicks), and I just find them kinda sexy and rebellious, so the thought of chopping them is none too appealing. But PROS: MOTHER OF GOD do I get sweaty and ripe-smelling while massaging, and I suspect that cutting them off will help to at least cut the throat of some of the stink that feels like it emanates off me with those little stink-trills (i.e. ξξξ) like in the cartoons.

To shave the pits, or not shave the pits: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous body odor,
Or to take armpits against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end the stench?

What thinkest ye?
