Shaving armpit - silly but serious question



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 lbs from my goal weight and I'm running into issues shaving. :wacko: When I was heavy, I had no problem shaving under my arms with all the fat pushing the skin out so it was a smooth shave - now..... there is a caved in area I have tried to reach for weeks and cant. Glad no one is watching me in the shower twisting turning and bending my arm so I can shave. Instead of one hand shaving one armpit, it now takes two and I'm still not doing a great job.. any suggestions?

Looking Ahead

anyone that has lost 161 lbs couldn't possibly ask a "silly" question :)

anyways, there aren't supposed to ge any questions considered silly, right

i agree with a cream of sorts to "shave" your under your arms

its a good question :)

Who knew, right?! I'm so glad you asked. I actually have been wondering the same thing! Now I know why it is called an arm"pit". I end up pulling the skin forward so that it is more on the bone than in the deepest part of the underarm. I also lower my arm while shaving so that the under arm is more flat rather than sunken in. I also am trying to find those silk effects razors so I can get in there without cutting myself up. Ah, to have skinny people problems!! Joy. :-)

Thanks everyone for the advice! I havent used veet because of sensitive skin. Its like scid on me and eats bits of my skin in seconds. Thanks for the compliments too!
