I read that the hair in the armpits can grow different directions, so much like other people have suggested, shave in different directions. Once down, once up, and make like an x shape diagnoal across the area. And I agree about using a gel or cream. Waxing seems like a pain.

If you have tried it with a brand new razor and it still looks like you havnt shaved, I would go with waxing. They also have Nair hair remover for your armpits, I tried it and it didnt work and made my armpits smell really wierd so I wouldnt recommend that. Lol. But, good luck!

Try using Aveeno shave gel for sensitive skin w/ the Schick Quattro Razor.
If this combination doesn't give you the closest shave ever then you gotta try waxing.

ahhh i get this same problem if you find anything that works please let me know! and also i read that if you use shaving gel insted of cream. also i tryed using a mans razor and it worked a little better. i havent tryed waxing yet but i dont really want to do that because then you have to let the hair grow out some

Get a sharp razor. Use baby oil instead of shaving cream/gel. Stroke upwards twice then downwards twice. You can go over it more if it isn't gone. Good luck!

as long as u shave it there is no hair there. everybodys skin tones in different areas vary and it may still be a little dark and appears to still be hairy but u no its not there so stop killing urself before u end up needing stitches or something!

i get the same thing!! yeah i use venus and it totally doesn't work, gel shaving cream helps, but it doesn't solve my porblem. ABout waxing... in your arm pits, AH how painful does that sound. Let me now if u figure anything out!

Ok well this is what I would do.
Get a new razor from dove or other well to be brands
Shave when wet
Then after you get out apply some lotion.
this will get rid of the bumps
