Sitting in the bath, I lather up my hairy armpit with shave butter, having soaked for a while. I pull out my simple, but effective, black and white razor. I make a series of downward passes over my long pit hair, getting what I can in the first swipe, then rinse the razor. Now, it's time for upward passes, getting most of what I left on the first pass. After another rinse, I pass my razor across my pit sideways, getting closer and smoother with each swipe. After a couple more passes, I show off my now-smooth armpit, transformed from the hairy garden it was just moments ago. Next, I reposition to give the best view as I shave the other side. taking just as much care to get a precise shave
