underarm hair, unlike the hair on your legs, grows in every direction.  So to get a smooth finish you need to shave every way. 

 

As for the dark area, can't really do much about that.  While you might be perfectly smooth, the end of the hair will always show up dark where you shaved it.  As a rule, shaving is fine for legs but waxing is better for underarms.

Wax strips are much better and don't leave itchy stubble

I agree with simms and morrisonker - waxing is much better for under arms.
