Shaving your pits is never fun. It's always too late when you find out that you've missed a patch. Follow these steps and you'll be set!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Razor
  • Shaving cream (Optional)
  1. Step 1

    Start in a nice warm shower. Usually you need to let the hairs soften up so it would be best to wait till the end of the shower. (Or bath, if you chose!)

  2. Step 2

    Raise arm over your head so your underarm is visible.

  3. Step 3

    If you use shaving cream, apply it now. Using shaving cream will help with the smoothness of the shave, and may also help with razor burn. Also make sure to keep your razor sharp and wet while shaving.

  4. Step 4

    Due to the fact that under arm hair grows in every direction, it's best if you DON'T only pull the razor down or up. Make sure you pull the razor down, up and side to side. This will ensure that every last hair is cut short and you'll have no surprises on that hot date!

Tips & Warnings
  • Shaving cream is optional.
  • Dull and dry blades will result in razor burn.
