Shaving
Short
Description
  • Shaving is the most common hair removal method
  • The cut hair off at the skin's surface
  • The sharp metal blade or electric razor cuts the hair off at the surface of the skin, causing the hair to grow back, sometimes as soon as a day or two later.
  • While the razor has always had its drawbacks, like the risk for cuts, it is convenient and portable.
  • Body shaving is more difficult than facial shaving because the skin is more tender in certain areas of the body, such as the bikini area or the legs. Generally, shaving is done against the direction of hair growth. For  sensitive areas, shaving in the direction of hair growth often works better  and gives fewer skin cuts, but can be slower. It also helps to  lather up  and soak the body areas for a while prior to shaving.
Bodyparts
  • Legs, Face, Bikini area
  • Shaving arm hair is not recommended for several reasons: new hair growth will be thicker and coarser, results do not last very long and there is a lot of potential  for irritation and ingrown hair. 
Pros
  • Shaving is cheap, quick and has minimal side effects
  • The new triple bladed razors cut the hair closer to the skin and add about one day to traditional shaving effect.
Cons
  • Effects are not long-lasting
  • Irritates the skin, and can cause infections
  • Healing time might be necessary for the skin after shaving   
Cost and Where to buy
Comments
  • Shaving has been in existence since ancient times. Shaving for women was not popular until the beginning of the 20th century. Leg shaving for women became popular with the introduction of sheer nylon stockings during the 40's.
