Step 1: Prepare Your Skin
When shaving underarms, a little preparation goes a long way. First, make sure you wash your underarms. A shower is a perfect way to do that because the warm water will also soften your hair. This makes it easier to for a gliding action when you start shaving. You should always exfoliate before shaving, to remove dead skin cells and debris. Exfoliating not only gives you a smoother shave, but also prevents ingrown hairs, so use a scrub on your armpit before shaving.
Step 2: Choose your look
Wondering how to groom underarm hair? Do you want to go all the way, or just shorten what you have? The All Purpose Gillette STYLER has three comb attachments to guide your choice, ranging from 6mm to 4mm, and 2mm. This means you can choose to tidy up your underarm hair with a quick trim, or shave it all off.
Step 3: Trim
Note to self, trimming your hair should always be step one. Long hair will clog your razor and cause it to drag over the skin. Because the Gillette STYLER is waterproof, you can get shaving while you’re in the shower.
