The dark shading on your underarms are actually just raised pigments from the color of your hair. When you shave, it brings the pigments up, therefore, creating a dark shadow.
What you need to start doing is getting waxed. But first you need to grow out your hair (I know it sounds gross but you cant wax it unless its longer) until its about 1/8" long, or as long as you can stand it. Then go to a salon and get an underarm wax, which depending on where you go could cost you anywhere from 5-15 bucks. Before you go to your appointment, I reccomend the exfoliating the day before, to make sure you have no other pigments on the dead skin underneath. Take some tylenol right before you go to the appointment, and just remember. Pain is beauty.
The hair shouldnt grow back for another 4-6 weeks, so you wont even have to think about shaving anymore if you keep getting it done. And just think, all the money spent regularly on new razors and new blades, could be cut in half or even by 2/3 if you spend 5 bucks on a wax every 4-6 weeks.
Hope this helped you.. let me know!

Try taking a slice of lemon and rub it over the dark spots everyday...lemon juice is a natural skin bleach. Or try using shea butter or cocoa butter
