I confess I'm one of them :) I just never liked wearing a cap. Now I've tried it a couple times and have a hard time keeping my goggles on during the dive. I guess I'd rather be a tad slower and keep my goggles on.
As for pits, I think just clipping is sufficient.
I'm kinda like Kirk on this one. The only diff is that I'll wear a cap for any 500y or shorter event. I tend to overheat in 800m or longer events. I'll shave most parts that aren't covered by the suit, clip pit hairs and trim the moustache/eyebrows. I read someplace that you leave the hairs under the suit to keep space between the suit and skin (and hopefully retain air in the space) in order to add buoyancy. I don't know - it seems to compress fairly tightly.
Why I have hair growing out of ears now :confused: is the only answer that I'm looking for. Gotta pluck those dudes.
I shave the night before unless my first event is going to be late enough in the day to shave in the morning or afternoon of the event.
