Shaving Your Underarms
Armed with the right tools, like the King C. Gillete Style Master Cordless Stubble Trimmer, shaving your underarms is pretty simple. Follow these steps to get great results every time:
- Step 1
Select a Fixed Comb Length
The right comb length on your body hair trimmer can help you tame full, natural growth that hasn’t been touched by a razor for a while – or ever. The King C. Gillete Style Master Cordless Stubble Trimmer comes with three comb attachments (2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm) for you to choose from. - Step 2
Trim
Trim your underarm hair. Trimming the hair before shaving can help prevent clogged blades. - Step 3
Shower
The water will help soften your underarm hair (which can be wiry) and make it easier for the razor to glide over your skin. King C. Gillete Style Master Cordless Stubble Trimmer is waterproof so you can trim in the shower. - Step 4
Lather Up with Shave Gel
A good lather helps to hydrate hairs, enhance razor glide, and protect your skin while you shave your underarms. - Step 5
Check for Dull Blades
Blade feeling dull or lubrication strips looking faded? It may be time for you to swap your blade refills before you begin. - Step 6
Shave with Light, Gentle Strokes
Attach a Fusion5 blade to your STYLER. Shave with light, gentle strokes, rinsing often, and with the skin pulled taut. - Step 7
Rinse Your Blades Often
Run the blades gently under the faucet every few strokes, both the back and front sides of the blades, and then gently shake excess water off. Do not tap your razor against the sink or wipe against a towel; these habits can reduce the life of the razor by affecting the intricate design of the blade components. Rinsing the blades under running water helps to remove built-up shaving gel, hair, and dead skin. - Step 8
Shave in Multiple Directions
Since your underarm hair grows in all different directions, ProGlide blades are a good choice. King C. Gillete Style Master Cordless Stubble Trimmer comes with ProGlide blades and fits with any Fusion5 cartridge. - Step 9
Reapply Shave Gel As Needed
You may find that you need to shave over the same spot in different directions to get a smooth shave. In order to help prevent shaving rash on your underarm skin, ensure that you reapply shave gel before you re-stroke. - Step 10
Rinse, Dry, and Moisturize
Moisturizing after shaving your underarms is critical – it helps soothe the skin. - Step 11
