my razor seems like it can't shave off my underarm hair and it is causing me to have bumps too. but it works well when i shave leg hair etc.

my armpit is in an odd shape. i mean like, you really have to straighten it out so that the razor can cut out all of the hair. or maybe get somebody else to cut it for you so that they can see.

You can do waxing, but if you want the hair to come off, you'll have to do it in a kind of painful way.
Pluck 'em.

Straighten out your arm first and try to press down a little harder with your razor. That might help

Shave in all directions, even diagonal, while pulling the skin tight.

If you still wanna shave, use a sharp razor (ie. new), and put your arm straight up, like you're reaching for the ceiling. Then shave in different directions, cuz the hair grows in different ways, just so you get all angles. Hope that helps!

nair smells like burning flesh. Use veet...or shoppers drug mart brand (green tea), it takes longer, but smells way better.

Yeah. That's what I was thinking.
Anyways, doing that^ probably shaves the hair out more.

Try one of those new hair removal pen things. I don't know how well it would work but it might be worth a shot.

I heard DON'T ever wax your armpits. It can hert bad. Try different types of razors instead. Sorry I can't be of more help.
