After breast cancer surgery to remove lymph nodes under the armpit, women have a risk of developing lymphedema. This is a serious disorder that we want to avoid. Shaving under the arm where the surgery was performed can be challenging. Many women might be afraid to shave to avoid cutting themselves and developing an infection, which can lead to lymphedema.

The other day my husband came home with this amazing razor. Its called Fusion and it is made by Gillette. I was already using the Mach 3 by Gillette but this new razor is so fantastic. It actually feels like silk going across your skin. It has five blades and causes less irritation and is much more comfortable to use than any razor I have ever tried.

I did not want a hairy armpit so after my breast cancer surgery and I was healed I would very carefully shave that area. I advise to also look in the mirror since the scar tissue can make the underarm area not as smooth as it once had been. I recommend avoiding disposable razors entirely since you are much more likely to cut your skin.

The razor is a bit pricy and so are the refills but I would definitely recommend this as a way to avoid any cuts while shaving.
