What is the secret to a good clean shave?

Question

I've shaved my underarms and usually get razorburns!!! It's painful... I use Schick Intuition. Any advice on how to get a good shave w/o the pain?

Answer 1

What is wrong with you? How old are you? Shouldn't you already know how to shave properly???

Answer 2

Honestly, I hated the Intuition thing, it was a waste of 12 bucks, as far as I'm concerned!...try some good razors, like Venus by Gillete and some hair conditioner...yes, hair conditioner...buy the cheap kind to try it if you are skeptical...it totally gives you a close shave...

Also a good product to use for a close shave is some baby oil...not too much or you'll slip all over the place...my friend swears by Johnson's Gel Baby Oil...the kind from Burt's Bees with the apricot kernel oil is heavenly smelling, that one might be one to try as well!

Answer 3

You can try Neutrogena shaving cream/foam (made for men), KY Warming Gel (works GREAT since the warmth allows a closer shave by releasing more of the hair folicle), or using any hair conditioner while you shave.
I use the Venus razor, but most women love men's razors. Men's products are usually more gentle since they are shaving their face.
Or you could try waxing, but your hair would have to get to a certain length.

Hope that helps you!

Answer 5

FOR UNDERARMS I USE A DISPOSABLE RAZOR AND LOTS OF SOAP AND WATER. DON'T USE DEODORANT RIGHT AFTER. HAVEN'T HAD ANY GOOD LUCK WITH ANY KIND OF ELECTRIC RAZORS.
