It is permissible to remove underarm hair by any means, such as shaving or otherwise. Plucking the underarm is preferable if possible, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The fitra (natural disposition) is five: circumcision, trimming the mustache, paring the nails, plucking the underarm hair, and shaving the pubic hair."
