interesting. i'm a bit wary though b/c deodorant can cause a reaction for some people and i really don't want to have a reaction...especially being so close to down there! but thanks for the post! i'm sure there's another brave soul out there who is willing to try this method!

What do you use to shave everyday, that is very often to be passing a blade, so I would think it would definitely irritate your skin. Just wondering because I have to shave my underarms everyday for work and it just really irritates my skin.

I also like this 3 step system from www.Haircaredownthere.com - they have a shaving gel (it doesnt lather so you can see what you are doing-perfect for those of you that like to 'shape' haha) an exfoliating soother spray (it has lidocane so it reduces iitching as well) for after shaving and then a moisturizer. I found that when I use the products every day it significantly reduces my irritation (which is REALLY saying something). The only issue I have is that I dont think it's sold in stores and ordering on the internet is sometimes inconvenient because I don't time my order right and end up with no product for a few days.... I'll use the deodorant tip in between orders!

Hey, i tried to post a picture but it didn't work. Sorry!

Just wondering because I have to shave my underarms everyday for work and it just really irritates my skin. It is often so I have to be very careful not to irritate my skin. I just soften my skin with warm water and then massage with soap. Then I shave with Neutrogena Triple Moisture conditioner. First I go in the same direction as the hair growth, then I go agains the grain. Remember to lay the conditioner on thick and make sure you have a very sharp razor. I use mens razors, they just work better IMO.

I've never tried deodorant, but use baby powder for my armpits and it works great! I'm going to try the deodorant though, thanks.
