U are not alone...I have the same experience....but recently read that shaving and using strong deoderants and antiperpirants has become a bit suspect in terms of being a healthy thing...some kind of research was creating a scare ....was in the news about a month or so ago....
You may have an infection. BO is caused by bacteria breeding in your sweat, and it sounds like they have got into your skin, hence their resistance to washing and deoderant. Have a word with your GP who can probably give you some antibiotics to clear up the infection.

Here is a link to the article I mentioned in my previous post....

Are you right handed.  If you are you will find that you are using the right arm more and therefore more air is getting under it and keeping your armpit much  cooler.  The left arm often will not move around so much and the stays warmer.  This sounds stupid, but I have noticed it myself.    Even moving the mouse whilst I am using the computer means I move my arm away from my body more!
