If I'm not in a hurry, I always use a puller to get the hairs on my underarm otherwise, it's a razor than I am using. I think pullers are better than razors because they said if you always use a razor, it discolors your underarm. It will become darker. :)

I would recomend you to use a proper hair removing cream like veet for this purpose. If you are using a razor go for good system like braun and then finally apply the cream to remove minor strays of hair to get a smooth finish.

Me too. Lol. I don't like hurting my skin, therefore I always use razors to get my hair on my underarm. I do this practically once a week because actually I don't have that much hair to shave in the first place. I am the type that has very less visible hair on my skin. I think that's an advantage because I don't have to shave my legs ever in my lifetime.

Just the sound of a "puller" sounds painful! I'd never considered using something other than a razor under my arms. It takes me literally 10 seconds every morning in the shower, so there's no way I'd want to do anything that I had to actually pay attention to, or spend time doing. Not to mention painful! Ouch!

I am using a razor because I can't stand the pain of using a puller. It really does hurt. I've tried it before with my eyebrows, but before I even get to pluck one my eyes are already watery. lol. So I'm using razors instead. I don't think I would ever pluck. I wanted to try waxing too, but I'm also chicken to the pain it would bring.

i use razor too! i tried using the puller once but it turned out that it is so painful and it is so difficult to position myself just to get every unwanted hair. but with razor, i can remove hair faster but also easier.

I use razor. but not the electric one. i wonder if ever i did not start to pull my hair when i was a teen if it will grow. i was just curious then what it was like to pull the underarm hair.

Holy moly, do some people pluck or wax their underarms?! I would think that would be incredibly painful! I use a razor, and even that can be irritating enough if I don't get enough soap on as a buffer.

I have tried everything, I have tried waxing with home kits (they don't work! the wax is often to weak and doesn't do anything). I have stuck to razors. I have not tried nair, and will probably try that next. I use razors most often though. I have tried using an electric shaver and that works pretty well, but it doesn't get as close as a razor, but it doesn't leave razor burn either, so those work well for me as well.

I use a razor too..its convenient and quicker to sue than anything else. I used to wax earlier but that is too painful.

those "puller" things are horrible! they use litle discs to rip out the hair by the root. ouchy!
i use a regular razor and hair conditioner to shave with. ive tried Nair but it always left my skin with a bit of a burning sensation for a good day afterwards.

Yeah, I use razor for the longest time. I've always used gilette razor for women which has this aloe conditioners attached to the blades so they glide on smoothly. You can also use it on your legs. I know what you mean by the puller! They take so much time, and hurts.

I use razors, but I think I'm going to go back to using wax.
I hate the razors because they leave my skin under my arms irritated and feeling sore. I didn't have this problem when I used wax before.
I have also heard that the hair remover cream called Nair is quite good, so that may also be a possibility. I only hope it's okay for sensitive skin.
