How to Shave Your Armpits

Shaving is one of the most efficient ways to remove hair from the underarms.Whether you use an electric shaver, or a razor, it should be done a few times a week, to keep the stubble from returning.

1. Steps

   1. 1
      Take a shower, bathe or splash the area with water to soften the hair and skin. It would help to take a bath or shower beforehand so the hair is softer and easier to shave.

      
      
   2. 2
      Use a moisturizing shaving gel or lotion or foam.
   3. 3
      Raise one arm overhead; apply shaving medium.
   4. 4
      Keep the arm raised high,so that the skin is taut. Since underarm hair grows in many directions, it's best to shave up, down and side to side, all the while looking at what you are doing in the mirror.
   5. 5
      Shave only where there is really visible underarm hair. You don't want to shave further down and get that hair prickly, too. You'll just have to keep shaving that area also the next time, which is a pain. Don't shave more hair than necessary.
   6. 6
      Note that if you shave in every direction your armpits will be smoother.
   7. 7
      Rinse razor after each stroke, to remove foam and cut hair strands.
   8. 8
      Rinse underarm to remove all foam.
   9. 9
      Repeat with other armpit.
   10. 10
       Once you leave the shower start appliying a moisturiser all over under arms, if necessary apply baby powder to your under arm to ease the pain
