Best arm pit shaving technique

1. Take a shower, bathe or splash the area with water to soften the hair and skin. It would help to take a bath or shower beforehand so the hair is softer and easier to shave.

2. Use a moisturizing shaving gel or lotion or foam.

3. Raise one arm overhead; apply shaving medium.

4. Keep the arm raised high, so that the skin is taut. Since underarm hair grows in many directions, it's best to shave up, down and side to side, all the while looking at what you are doing in the mirror.
Make sure the razor held in the hand is in correct angle and to be dragged vertically downwards.

5. Shave only where there is really visible underarm hair. You don't want to shave further down and get that hair prickly, too. You'll just have to keep shaving that area also the next time, which is a pain. Don't shave more hair than necessary.

6. Note that if you shave in every direction your armpits will be smoother.

7. Rinse the razor after each stroke to remove foam and cut hair strands.

8. Rinse underarm to remove all foam.

9. Repeat on the other armpit.

10. You should wait a while before applying any sort of moisturizer or deodorant after shaving your armpits. Moisturizer and deodorant can irritate the delicate skin, and can be painful. Try shaving your armpits at night, when you don't have to put deodorant on soon after.
