After shave itching

Question

Every time after shaving underarms I get an itching sensation. Is there is a way to prevent/ reduce it?

It could be something that can be applied before shaving, after shaving or could be a change or improvement of the shaving method/ equipment.

What I have tried so far:

Use a shaving machine instead of a razor
Apply after shave cologne
Used shaving foam instead of soap

All the above-listed methods helped me to improve the situation about 10%, but not more than that. Could anyone suggest an efficient way(s)?

Do you shave in the same direction the hair grows, sideways, against it or a mix? — Caius Jard, Dec 15 '18 at 12:20
When I was using a razor, I used to raise the hand and move razor from top to bottom.
When I am using the machine, I move it bottom to top. — Kushan Randima, Dec 15 '18 at 21:18

Try cornstarch after the shave ,ultrafine would be even better (Like the kind found in women's feminine deodorant powder.Its pure cornstarch with a light fragrance but it's always helped me when I'd get the "I think I shaved a bit too close " itch.

Never tried this myself, but wax appears to be very efficient way:

The process itself might hurt more than shaving, but as far as I can tell, after it's done there won't be any itching. The above guide is by a female, but applies also for males of course.

Happy waxing! :)

Thank you for your consideration. I am sorry. I prefer shaving rather than waxing. Cheers! – Kushan Randima Dec 15 '18 at 21:23

Hydrocortisone in Over The Counter strength is meant for itches & skin abrasions. Ask your doctor if in doubt, but it does work to stop itching.
