    im the same with the underarms when i lift my arms up to shave its like a deep hole so i have to go over the same area with my razor so many times till every hair is off uggh its a pain i know exactly what you mean. BUT ive noticed that if you try to relax your arm more when you lift it up it tends to fill up the area so that is what i have been doing lately it helps alot and much easier to shave

    laser hair removal. life. changing.

    ^^^THIS!!

    I've always wanted to do that.. but isn't it pretty expensive?

    Whole body can go 5,000 bucks and up. . . i do laser hair removal for clients but i cant do it on myself. lol

    Hell for that I would get plastic surgery :P

    I cut myself shaving my legs all the time...solely because I'm admiring my gams.
    Everything else has been lasered off, so thankfully I'm not chopping up anywhere else.

    Keep your legs straight and toes pointed when shaving the backs of your legs, that should help.
    In the mean time, don't flex your calves and stare at them when shaving around your ankles...

    Wait...is that blood..I pass out at the sight of............

    I use lotion to shave, it's saved me from a summer of razor burn!

    Tricky, no, i am finding it easier. I don't have the hip joint pain as much and I ahum, can reach things better. But I always have trouble - i am REALLY REALLY blind, so unless I wear my glasses, I cut my legs to pieces.

    I use the Hydro 3 or 5 blade powered razor w/ Vo5 Conditioner as shave lotion.

    It works well and is cheap. Plus seems to help condition my skin.

    The razor is a men's razor, but it has this extra edge guard on the blades that helps prevent nicks and the power version - which means it vibrates - (LOL) seems to make it glide effortlessly across my skin.

    Toning will help but laser hair removal will solve all of your shaving problems. I have had my underarms and bikini (front and back) areas done and as a swimmer it has been life changing. Next stop my legs. I dream of the day when I can throw my men's razor away and never look back.

    Start a new trend...knees with bangs. :smile:

    OMG I almost peed myself when I read this! :laugh:
    Bahahahahahahaha!!!!! I'm there! ;)
    One previous poster gave a good description of how to get your armpits...the one with the hand between the shoulder blade...it gives it an "outward" curve kind of like a barbie doll. LOL

    For underarms, put your arm behind your head, your hand between your shoulderblades. It makes the pit flat. :)
    For knees (back or front), just keep your leg straight, bending at the waist.
    Enjoy the weekend!

    I've never heard of this but I am going to try it, I have the worst time with underarms haha thanks!

    I thought is was just my body being weird! Definitely have noticed my underarms have changed, and are harder to shave. Was in the shower the other day and thinking "WTF, I understand you can't direct where you lose weight from, but my underarms? Really body, can you lose weight from my stomach, or upper arms instead"... :smile:

    for both underarms and knees... sounds dorky, but do every direction of the compass - N, S, E, and W. Chances are you'll get 99.9% of the hairs every time :) it's the only way it's worked for me!

    Thanks for sharing the laughs, bloody photo and awesome suggestions! I'm gonna try the hand between the shoulder blades trick for sure. I'd LOVE laser hair removal, but with a gaggle of kids, I just don't have money for that route. . .YET! I've used conditioner in the past as well as cheap men's razors. Perhaps I should investigate some of the higher end options. Dipliatory creams like Nair cause a violent skin reaction on me. I look like I have some weird tropical disease. It was nice the few times I used it before developing a severe senstivity!

    And, hands down, I will have to work intensely at scrubbing the image of "knee bangs" out of my head. THAT was heeeee-larious!!!

    Have a great weekend!!

    okay... more on this, please? Expensive? Time Consuming? Side Effects?

    I have been thinking on this a lot... very interested in knowing some details.

    Oh my goooooodness... AAAAAAA-Men!!

    Ugh! I was just thinking last night about this - as I shaved. My armpits are the worst because I have all the loose skin now that I've lost. The trick of arm behind the head, between shoulder blades? It's helpful and what I do - or using the shower wall and turning my entire body for a good stretch - but when the skin is loose and hanging? Well - it's at least a good 20 times of around the compass (as someone else mentioned - shaving in every direction). The rest of my body? I still have to work around the loose, hanging skin -- but none is so bad as under my arms...

    I wish for the laser hair removal - and probably under arms would be the first place! ;)

    THANK YOU FOR THIS...... I say this to my own body all the time... I mean, really! How much more am I gonna lose from my waist up and still have huge hips, thighs, calves, etc.?!? It's OK, legs, you can let some of the fat go... I promise, I'll keep you warm some other way... Please, feel free to just let it go!! ;)

    Loved your post! Made me laugh and know that I'm not the only one asking my body those questions! ha, ha, ha.
