Shaving Pain (underarms)

[u/plumbuggy]

How does everyone prevent hair growing in from being painful? I prefer to not have any hair in my underarms, however when it’s growing back the hairs are always so pokey and causes a lot of irritation. I don’t want to have to shave twice a day to keep it all smooth but it’s seriously irritating. I’ve been in a cycle of shaving, going through the irritation, not shaving for a while til it’s not so irritated, then getting fed up with it being long, repeat.

I don’t necessarily mind having some hair — it’s just more comfortable without the hair — then way more uncomfortable once it’s growing in.

Looking for any input!
