Best Razor for underarms ?

Kitty Galore · ‎03-16-2010

having a hard time finding a razor for my underarms that gives a close shave. I'm so tired of razors that don't get every hair plus difficult getting a close shave, hate those dots !!!! Tried many different brands of disposable razors and none do the job as I would like. Legs no problem I have fine hair there and Very little any shaver will do the job .

any suggestions ? 😺

Sorry I won't be of much help I think. My underarms are very sensitive and if I try to shave too close I get a shave burn (rash) or even a tiny pimple or two.

I feel better (less irritated) when I don't try to shave too closely. Just a few swipes with a disposable razor. If I miss an area I go over it again in a couple of days, giving the skin a rest in between.

I think you are seeking a perfection that doesn't exist. Do the best you can and then let it go.

@PinkyPetunia Actually that is another of my problems as well , razor burn or rash . My derm gave me some ointment to put on after shaving . Funny though when I'm able to get a close shave every so often I notice I don't get any problems , It's when I don't that I do .

I've been using the inexpensive Clio Palmperfect electric razors for almost 20 years. Terrible for legs; great for underarms.

Posted this before: gave myself the gift of time and freedom from shaving for my 50th birthday. I am grateful for the electrolysis for the 25+ years of forgetting about shaving.

It also keeps odor from appearing. Unless I am shaping and trimming the holly bushes, don't need deodorant or antiperspirant either.

I recently started using a new razor - Billie is the brand. You can purchase a starter kit from their website for $9 and you get the handle and 2 blades. I've used Venus razors for as long as I can remember but started having irritation under my arms. I've switched to natural deodorant (Kopari brand) and the Billie razor and thankfully no more issues. I definitely feel the Billie gives a closer shave than the Venus and I swear it stays smoother longer. I will continue to buy them. They are actually cheaper as well. Good luck finding something that works!

I use the BIC Flex 4 Sensitive Hybrid Men's 4-Blade Disposable Razor, 4 Cartridges and 1 Handle - works great.

Thanks ! I will check out the Billie razor and the Bic flex hopefully I can find what will work for me . The Venus was the last I tried , not a close shave and irritation as well.
