Ouch!!

I just shaved my underarms using Tonys razor. I've never used it before but I thought I'd borrow it for the quickest.

I wish I hadn't! it practically pulled the hairs out by the root and has left me with a terrible sore rash!

I'm going out tonight to a special 'do' and now I won't even be able to wear deodorant because of this soreness.

Wish I'd stuck to my usual method - shaving cream & safety disposable razor.

More haste - less speed!!

Re: Ouch!!

Ooo nasty Carol. Put a bit of talc on, baby talc if you have it. Although even that could sting.

Re: Ouch!!

Oh dear Carol, you must be sore, as Tessa says, put some Talc on. I'm lucky I don't have to shave any more, my hair on my underarms and legs don't grow any more.

My hair doesn't grow there any more either, nor down below. Tiz my age.


I think the razor you used Carol was blunt. Painful, do hope it's not so sore now.

That's why I don't use an electric razor, it tends to pull the hairs on my neck and cause a rash, OK on my chin but not on the softer parts.

Carol, just put a bit of cream on your underarm and use a Bic Razor Blade, that's what I always done.

OUCH

Was it the one with the three heads that spin around? A philishave or something?

I made that mistake as a teenager

Re: Ouch!!

Hi

Carol, I feel for you.

I cannot use an electric shaver and I am definitely a man.
