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:

  1. Step 1
    Select your styler comb length

    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.
  2. Step 2
    Trim

    Trim

    Trim your underarm hair. Trimming the hair before shaving can help prevent clogged blades.
  3. Step 3
    Shower

    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.
  4. Step 4
    Apply Shaving Gel

    Lather Up with Shave Gel

    A good lather helps to hydrate hairs, enhance razor glide, and protect your skin while you shave your underarms.
  5. Step 5
    Check your Blades

    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.
  6. Step 6
    Shave with light, gentle strokes

    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.
  7. Step 7
    Rinse your Blades

    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.
  8. Step 8
    Shave in multiple directions

    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.
  9. Step 9
    Reapply Shave Gel As Needed

    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.
  10. Step 10
    Rinse off, towel dry and moisturize

    Rinse, Dry, and Moisturize

    Moisturizing after shaving your underarms is critical – it helps soothe the skin.
