[Flatcoatluver]

I KEEP ON CUTTING MYSELF. NO IT NOT LIKE YOU THINK, I'M NOT CUTTING MYSELF ON PURPOSE. eVERYTIME I SHAVE MY UNDER ARMS, I ALWAYS GET A NASTY CUT. I AM CURRENTLY USING SKINTIMATE WATERMELON SHAVE GEL, AND VENUS RAZORS. I TALKED TO ONE OF MY FREINDS AND SHE TOLD ME NOT TO SHAVE, AND THEN TRY A COUPLE DAYS LATER, I DID I GOT A EVEN WORSE CUT, EVEN IF THE RAZOR IS DULL I STILL GET A NASTY CUT. I AM CURRENTLY USING DOVE SENSITIVE SKIN DEODERANT AND THAT'S ALSO NOT WORKING, I DON'T WANT TO END UP NOT SHAVING AT ALL. THE WEIRD PART IS I NEVER GET CUTS WHEN I SHAVE MY LEGS. PLEASE HELP!!!

Try a different deoderant, one that mosturizes your skin!! I know the new line of Dove deoderants are wonderful for this!

Phew I am relieved it is by accident I have never cut myself shaving under arms but sometimes on the legs, and I have been shaving for many years now lol, I use shaving cream to shave under my arms and legs, any kind seems to work and I have very sensitive skin.

I had problems with that for YEARS. I finally started using the Schick Intuition razor -- the one with the soap attatched to the razor -- and I use the sensitive skin variety (not the normal one, that one made it worse for me). I also shave my underarms EVERY DAY, because if I quit for even one day I cut myself and get razor burn. The razor burn hasn't completely gone away but it's a LOT better than when I first started shaving.

Oh another suggestion I just thought of - perhaps instead of shaving down, first shave up (WITH the hair) and then down (against it). This might help. This helps me soemtimes when I haven't shaved my legs in awhile
