After that I am careful to rinse all the shaved area to make sure all the soap and lather are gone and then I towel dry. I wait as long as possible (at least several minutes) to make sure my underarms are dry and the pores are closed before I apply an antiperspirant. Antiperspirants can be irritants to freshly shaved skin. If need be I apply body lotion to my legs but I seldom do that to my underarms. It leaves too much moisture to my underarms and that is especially bad when it's hot outside.
