shaving

URGH!  I'm afraid to use regular razors cuz I'm scared of cutting myself. My armpit is SO numb that I can't feel it at all. I've been using an electric razor, but it leaves me with the bumpy rash. I've tried being Bigfoot, but I'm really pale and my hair is really dark, so it's quite noticeable!! I've let it go as much as 3 weeks and then I can't stand it anymore and use the electric razor on it. 

Any advice?  Any "better" brand of electric razor? 

Thanks!

I know this isn't recommended, but I've always just used the same razor I use on my legs.  I've just very careful.  Rads burnt off most of the hair on my cancer side anyway.  The bumpy rash you are getting is inflammation that is not good for LE either.

I use Veet hair remover: sensitive formula with aloe. Put it on and leave it for five minutes. Then wipe it off with a damp washcloth and rinse. It works well, is painless, and I don't have to worry about cuts. I checked with my PS, and he said it was fine.

I know the bumpy rash isn't good, but i'm afraid of using a regular razor. I might try the Veet and see how that goes.

 

Thanks for your input! Greatly appreciated!
