When I shave my armpits they get really sore. They burn actually. What can I do to prevent or soothe this?

Use a different soap or shaving cream, make sure you're using a sharp razor. Please - do not use Nair, it will burn more!

I use medicated body powder after i shave my armpits. It helps get rid of the bumps and it relieves the razor burn you get.

I would try changing my deodorant/antiperspirant or changing the shaving cream or soap that I use. Maybe try just not putting as much pressure while shaving.

Change the shaving cream or soap you are using, you may be sensitive to it.

prbublyIf you rub conditioner on your arm pits before shaving you will shave more smoothly and your skin will be less irritated.
