How can i shave my underarms without getting razor rash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are razors: that are specifically shaped for the underarm.Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving – don’t push down too >
