Arm Hair Removal Method?

Options

Hi all, I had a mastectomy on my right side last December and had 21 lymph nodes removed. I have slight lymphedema on my right arm, about 1.3cm. I currently use an electric shaver to remove hair on my underarms, but was wondering what people do for arm hair. I have read online that waxing and chemical removers are not recommended, so I am assuming electric shaving is the only other option (though I'm not very open to that). Please let me know methods you have tried!

    I've been using an electric shaver and I only had my sentinel nodes removed. My armpits are still numb and I feel better with the electric. I like the one with the rotating head.
