If your senstive don't try Nair, it basically burns your hair off and it can really irritate our skin. I would try a good blade and good cream or a shave oil. Good luck and congrats on the wedding!

I've had this problem too, my doctor said to use an actual razor blade (like Schick), instead of an electric razor. And also shave against the growth of the hair. For underarms, for the top half you should prob shave down, and for the bottom half you should shave up. I wouldn't use shaving cream (so can't see anything), try using olive oil as a lubricant.
There's also Nair (which will dissolve hair), but I don't know if it will burn the underarm or not. Good luck.

first you should get in the shower and get wet. Next, you should exfoliate your pits with a scrub, like from bath and body works. then you should use a shaving gel, or cream then use a good shaver such a venus devine. shave in on direction against the grain. then wash off. Then,get out of the shower and moisturize with a non-scented cream. Don't use deoderant when your armpits are wet either!! I hope I help! I know my stuff!

try using moisturizing shaving cream, most people don't use shaving cream of the armpits, but everyone really should. the skin is soo delicate and tender there. try using moisturizing shaving cream, a razor made for sensitive skin, and invest in a deodorant with skin softeners and lotion [like dove.. or secret with olay moisturizers.]
hope that helps.
