yes...by shaving you reduce the surface area that bacteria, etc. has to grow on.

genetics, diet, lifestyle, etc. also effect how a person smells or doesn't smell.

No... It's not the hair that smells.

Underarm odour is caused by the waste product of bacteria that live on our skin. These bacteria are normal and always present. they eat certain secretions from the pores in our skin, and these secretions tend to be more concentrated in some areas such as the armpit.

What you are smelling is essentially the byproduct of the bacteria consuming those secretions.

Some antiperspirants and deodorants work by killing off some of the bacteria, making less bacteria to eat your secretions.

Another thing that can affect your smell is what you eat. People who tend to eat a lot of spicy foods will often have a stronger odour. That's why some people from various ethnic groups may seem to smell -- it's not that they are dirty people, but they just eat different foods.

Smokers also have stronger underarm smell. Again, the tar and other chemicals in their bloodstream will come out through the pores.

None of this has to do with hair.
