You are far more likely to cut yourself with a dull razor than a sharp one. This is true of knives as well as razors. I also always shave with no cream or gell so I can see what I'm doing. I have incredibly sensitive skin, so have to be careful even with what unscented deodorant I use - I'm even allergic to some "unscented" ones, so I am very careful about what does or doesn;t touch my skin there. A sharp new razor is far safer.

ugh I hate that! I get the worst razor burn under my arm pits. I've been using razorless shaver and shave cream. It works wonders but I still shave my legs the regular way.

Yep, That is true about dull razors, much more likely to irritate your skin. Are you actually cutting yourself, or is it razor burn after you shave? Maybe you should try Nair (with caution, I once burnt my skin with it), or waxing? One product I use for razor burn is called "TEND SKIN", it is an awesome product which eliminates razor burn. It is similar to aftershave, but sooooo much better.

Used to have this problem. Now I use a man's Gillette Mach 3. The blades are really, really expensive, but the blades are really sharp. Good luck.

I have a Venus razor too, but I dont use shaving cream when I shave my underarms, I just stand under the water and let it run down my arm. I dont think I have ever cut my underarms, only i get razor burn every once in awhile. I too, use the Dove deoderant.

Good luck!

I thought I was the only wierdo who used men's razors. I also use "Edge" shaving cream-I love it, it has aloe and everything in it.

I don't think I've ever cut myself on my arm pits either, but I do get razor burn, at least I think that's what it is, a lot of little red bumps. It's REALLY irritating and it hurts...grrrr..

Oh no you're not! I actually PREFER men's razors over womens' for that exact reason.

ALSO another thing to add -- if you're getting razor BURN then buy some aftershave (yes, men's aftershave works very well) and I know when I get razor burn on my legs I use my dad's aftershave and it works wonderfully I'm sure you could use some for your armpits, especially ones with aloe to help moisturize the skin!
