I once shaved my armpits a bit too vigorously (and often) and both were covered in painful itchy medium-sized bumps. I was told to not shave for at least a week and not to wear any deodorant during that time either. I was also told to put a warm compress on them if they felt particularly bad.
I didn't have the problem again because like another user, I shave every 3 days with the hair growth. I also stopped using antiperspirant - there are lots of options now that don't involve patchouli. I use Lush's coconut and vanilla body powders.
