Armpits

[Bling]

My armpits are strong, and baking soda + Mitchum works fine, but I hate having to do it twice a day. So I found out that shaving the hair off your armpits helps a lot. So I did. Now I can't close my armpits because it stings. Anyway to get rid of that?

how did you shave your armpits? With a razor? My armpit is kinda fleshy and it cuts me

You'll eventually get use to it. It'll stop hurting after a few times you shave it. I think your skin gets stronger or something I don't know. It hurt me a lot at first too, but now I don't even notice it.

yea sweat and deodorant into scratches or razor irritation can be a pain. just dont go to aggressive at it and you will get used to it.

I shave and yah, at first it stings. The more you do it the less it stings, however. By shaving it gives the bacteria a lot less surface area to breed (hair has a lot of it) and therefore it cuts down on the smell. You still need to use deoderant though.

I would just get an electric hair/beard trimmer and clip the hair with those. That way you can still get a close cut but without the nics of a razor blade.

I prefer the close shave of a manual razor. To each his own I guess.
