Any special tips or tricks using this to shave underarms?

Very, very carefully. I'd recommend watching Maggard Razors video for shaving your underarms on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0wVdMY_nF8

A clean blade and a light touch are the key. If you try to press it will pull the hair. Try going with the grain of the hair for the first few times, then you can go against the grain after you get used to it. Hope that helps!

Be careful and go slow until you get the hang of this type of razor, especially around the curves of your face and body. I know it seems like a simple machine, but until you know how to use one you can end up with some pretty serious nicks.

It really isn't all that much different...much like the knee area you just have to be more careful. This is a great general info link: http://www.reddit.com/r/wicked_edge/comments/md36z/de_wetshaving_101_for_women_and_anyone_else_who/

Work from the top down letting the weight of the razor head do the cutting so as not to induce razor burn. Then make light passes from bottom to top for the finishing touch.

I can't recommend using this shaver in as sensitive place as a bikini line. Plus the cutting blades are a small portion of the head of the razor so I'm not sure you would get the results (I'm guessing) you're looking for. It will give you razor burn if over used.

Yes really well. Also I read on Internet to put a little under arm instead of a deordarant and it worked really well. I love the stuff. Put a little in shampoo and body wash works really well also. I bought another pound just to make sure it was around. A little goes a long way. Good luck

I have used it on my underarm hair which is pretty thick, it works quite well however, it does hurt more because the underarm is more sensitive than the legs.

That is a very good question! I bought it for my son and I always shave the back of his neck with no guard and it doesn't knick him. But, I wanted to test out your question, so, since I was just going to get in the shower and shave my underarms with my razor, I decided to test your question! NO KNICKS!! :) Just don't tell my son what I did! Lol!! So, go to it my friend!! Happy shaving!!

It gives a close shave for underarms and legs but have not used it as bikini shave

I use a "Light Touch" that is "FREE", and "...Against the grain, and with the grain, back and forth like a paint brush..." - it takes about 4-5 minutes to shave as close as any other "Other Type" I have found - I am 82 years old, and still trying to learn!The Old Mountain Goat

Yes it work perfect. You can cut them in half and use them for underarms. The only trick is that you need to wait a while before waxing so that the hair is long enough to be waxed.

Although rare...I experienced minor nicks to the private area when using the foil end. Take the following steps:1. Prepare area with Neutrogena Men's Sensitive Skin Shave Cream...this is an excellent product...not only for your face.2. After using the shaver, rinse off the blades and use either Remington Shaver Saver, or Phillips Norelco Aerosol Spray Cleaner on the cutting blades.I usually shave my private area every 2 weeks...the Results are well worth the extra steps using these quality products. You'll be 'Proud' to show-off. To whom...that's up to you...

Yes, if you use it dry - it is ok for underarms when used with soap and shaving creme -

I have never tried it on the underarms. I have used it on bright colors and it works great!

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.

I read some on-line posts about this and I have been using a short stroke, since this head does not pivot, it helps keep the blade angle correct. I Use a good quality shave lotion instead of foam from a can, with lots of warm water, usually straight from the shower. I blead a little at first but once I got the hang of it my wife and I both love the closeness of the shave.

Yes, I use for underarms and actually works best if you have at least a few days of growth.

Just do it. It's a very gentle shaver. Haven't shaved my adam's apple, but have shaved all around my nostrils.

Do not press and drag the shaver. Pretend that you are shaving a balloon. The Norelco will do the job.

Never tried it underarms but it would be tricky. I use the Epilady and it works there for me.
