uggh - shaving underarms
Permalink Closed

i have had the most difficult time shaving my underarms lately.  for some reason it has been really hard to get around that deep enclave/hole that is at the bottom of my armpit (maybe b/c i've lost weight recently).  as a result, i have longer hair there unless i get out of the shower, use two hands (one to "pull" and one to shave) and really work at getting it all out.  it is such a pain! 

should i get some type of contoured razor and would that work better?  any recs?  right now i use just a cheapo (but i like it) straight razor with moisturizers - daisy plus i think.  does anyone else have this problem?  if so, what do you do?  i don't have time to stand in front of the mirror every day to shave!

I used to have this problem alot when I was thinner - such a pain.  What I learned to do is shave like normal with your arm all the way up, and then lower your elbow so your upper arm is parallel to the ground  - it makes the indent alot shallower, and therefore easier to shave.

HTH!
