Razor burn?
How can I avoid razor burn? I was doing okay but now I'm getting it.
And also, how can I make my underarms smooth? It seems to have razorburn or..bumps.. that won't go away.. so I keep cutting myself there.
And I can't remove some of the hair there :\

Great things to use would be shaving cream that's high in aloe vera, and hydrocortisone cream. The aloe vera soothes the skin, relieving any of the razor burns while the hydrocortisone cream can decrease the inflammation (like the bumps you're noticing). Also try getting the aloe vera gel (which is also a common gel for sunburn relief!) Try reapplying those a few times a day. Don't shave it over and over, even if the bumps are worsening or coming back. Just wait until the inflammation starts disappearing and try shaving it again. This time, immediately after you're done shaving put on the gel and cream. This should help the area from any burns or bumps.

All of the other answers a great. I will add that soaking the area that you are going to shave in hot or very warm water 5 or so mins before you shave will also help. If you can not soak a hot moist towel will have the same effect.

use venus products. My legs were always burned up really badly, then my mom brought home a venus razor for me, and venus skintimate shaving cream. The reason why this works better is because the shaving gel is thick and hydrating, so it creates a balm over your skin so the hair is shaved off, but the skin is not irritated.
The razor works better because it has a hydrating strip on it, and the razors are not dull so you won't have to push down.
As for your armpits, always use shaving cream when you shave them and use Dove skin renewal deorderant. The deodorant is made for soothing razor burn and bumps so within two weeks of using this regularly you should be back to normal.
maybe, if you are wearing long sleeves or something that covers your armpits, don't shave them everyday, like every other day while using the dove deodorant that way they have mroe time to heal then to create new irritations.
good luck =]

Use a thick shaving cream and fresh razors- not disposables. After shaving apply a little lotion and some hydrocortisone cream, which really helps reduce the bumps. When shaving, don't go over the area more then once, it irritates the skin.
