How To Shave Armpits Safely
Many women like to keep their armpits silky smooth by shaving off the hair in that region. One of the easiest ways to avoid hair growth in the armpits is by shaving them regularly. Shaving not only keeps the hair away but also helps decrease odour and perspiration in the armpits. But there is a particular method of shaving your armpits properly if you want to keep them smooth and clean.To shave your armpits it is important that you invest in a quality razor.
There are razors available that will cost you less but you will most likely end up with nicks and cuts if you use them.Better quality razors have filaments that help prevent nicks and cuts. And double or triple edged razors have a better finish than single blades.
Trim your hair in the armpits using a pair of sharp scissors especially if you are doing hair removal for the first time. Take care not to trim them too short.
Wet your armpits well with warm water. Using warm water will soften the hair making it easy for you to shave them. If you have thick or coarse hair a good idea would be to wet them for a longer time.
Apply a shaving gel or cream to your armpits. If you do not have a gel or a cream use your regular body wash or soap. The idea is to have a thick lather covering the hair on the armpit properly.
Lift your arm well above your shoulder and fold it tight. This will make the skin in the armpits taut and hence reduce the risk of nicks and cuts.
Start shaving the hair in one direction. You can do top to bottom strokes or left to right strokes. But remember to stroke in only one direction. Keep cleaning the razor under running water after every three to four strokes. The razor might not work if it gets clogged with too much hair and shaving lather.
Clean the armpit with warm water to wash off clinging hair and lather. Run your hand over the area and check for any remaining hair. If there is hair that is left repeat the procedure of shaving until you feel silky smooth skin.
Once the shaving is complete rinse with warm water and pat dry sing a towel. Do not apply deo immediately on the armpits as it will cause a stinging sensation.
