Under arm shaving!

Just been getting ready for my holiday and have shaved my legs with a razor as I always do. I like the clean, smooth feel winter and summer.
But with trips to the beach in mind, I shaved under arms too. Don't usually do this. My arms have 'gone' so I always wear a sleeve even in summer.
Just wondered what everybody else does with this area of grooming?

I only periodically shave my armpits as i don't think much hair grows there now. I used to shave my arms as a teenager/20s as they were very hairy. At school i used to be teased with comments like "I think I can see Tarzan in the jungle". I think i was in my 40s when i suddenly with glee realised hair doesnt grow there any more!

I never need to shave under arm these days. No one told me that one of the benefits of getting older was that I would become less hairy - except my chin. Why the chin?

I've never had to shave under my arms. It runs in our family - for the women.
