All the hair won't come off (like the bottom of it won't come off and there is still some black specks), but I shave it over like, three times. Also, after I shave, there are sometimes a pink bump. How do you not get this or what am I doing wrong?

I think those pink bumps happen because you're shaving a particular skin area too frequently at a time.. Using a sharp blade to do this is better too.. I think its somewhat a skin irritation kind of thing.. Maybe you could just shave it at the max of twice at a time.. The first time, you'd shave the skin area thoroughly, covering all of the necessary areas from a top to bottom direction.. The second (and final) time, you'd just shave the necessary spots where there are still some miniature hairs sticking out.. You may do this in the opposite direction (bottom to up), making sure that these hairs are completely shaved up..
Don't forget to accompany this with a good shaving cream.. After shave, I normally use a medicated talcum powder on the skin areas to help with the skin irritation thingy..

OK, first of all the bumps are razor burn because you're irritating the skin by shaving over the area too much.
You need to get a bleach like Jolene, to lighten the hair. But you shouldn't apply this every day. Or you could use Nair or wax the hair-this will pull it out by the root.
BTW, I'm a female, don't be distracted by my pic. <----

The bumps and the stubble comes from the blade not being sharp enough. Try to use a new razor every 2-3 weeks, I bought a Shick Quatro for women, and it works very well, the heads are disposable, the blade stays sharp for a longer period of time and it is very easy to use.

Yes, I get this too. The bumps are called razor burn. I heard that you shave your armpits up, down, _ way and / way than thehair will come off.

Shave down and then shave up.
the pink bumps are razor burn. Use a moisturizing shave gel or foam or body wash when shaving.

Lather your pits thouroughly with shaving cream AFTER you wash 'em. Shave in the opposite direction of hair growth and that should do the trick. Good luck!

Utilize a gel shaving creme & a razor like Venus. Shave one way...up your body or down...not across...The hair grows accordingly to the way you shave..Try baby powder after you are done.

Try shaving in the opposite direction.

i shave in all directions trying to get them.
i think it is because my razor is a bit blunt.
