Shaving

[TheEclipse]

So, I've tried a depilatory cream, I've tried waxing strips, I've tried a hand razor and now I've tried an electric razor. And no matter what I do I can't seem to get my arm pits to be bald for even a few hours. There is always stubble. What the hell am I doing wrong?
Also, I like my new electric razor but I've not used one before. I ended up getting reddish razor burn all over my arm pits the third day I used it. Maybe I'm not using it right. :S Any advice?

read the instructions if you wanna know if you are using it right.

and dear god, what's wrong with pit hair?

waxing > shaving
youll never go back to shaving if u can put up with the pain the first few times. you need to use expensive stuff, shop stuff isnt good enough. can u get sum1 else to? like a beautician? u just need practise
electric razors suck......use moisturiser or even conditioner underneath before shaving if u rly have to..

Well the electric razor is doing wonders on my legs. :p No cuts! Woo.

Waxing is far better if you can be bothered with it, but yeah with shaving you will get razorburn the first few times if you used to let it grow, just because the skin isn't used to irritation. If you stick with shaving make sure you use some sort of moisturising product on it (moisturiser itself works, or normal shaving cream, or whatever you have to hand really but don't do it dry...) to minimise any adverse effects

Well I'm used to shaving with a razor so I was pretty confused about why this would happen!
