How to Shave Under Your Arms

Step 1

Start a warm/hot shower. This will make the muscles less tense so when you start to shave you will not have goosebumps (when you shave over goosebumps you usually tend to bleed and the skin becomes irritated).
Step 2

Hair conditioner actualy works well as a shaving lotion because it is so rich with moisture and doesn't conatin too many irritants. You should apply conditioner under your arms and leave it there for a few minutes to let it absorb into the skin.
Step 3

Before you begin to shave make sure to pull the skin taunt.
Step 4

Shave gently going in the up and down direction.
Step 5

If there are any stray hairs you may want to gently pluck them with a tweezer.
