Shaving -a brazilian reasons #0006
What is it?
Shaving is the removal of hair using a razor or any other bladed instrument to slice hair at the level of the skin. There are two types of shaving; wet shaving, done with either a straight razor or a safety razor, and electric shaving, done with a mechanical device that uses rotating, oscillating or hinged blades. Electric razors don’t cut as close as straight razors and are less precise.
Men and women approach shaving differently; men tend to focus on their face and chest, while women focus on their underarms, legs and bikini.
Pros: Can be done at home, Fast treatment time, Significantly less expensive than other hair removal methods, Safe to use on all body parts, It’s painless if done correctly
Cons: Fast regrowth because shaving only removes hair above the surface of the skin, Leads to ingrown hairs, especially for those with curly hair, Needs a shaving gel or cream to prevent damaging the skin, May not be good for people with sensitive skin, Sharp blade can slice skin if not done correctly
The Pain Factor: Non-existent if you don’t cut yourself or have sensitive skin. However, some ingrown hairs can be painful so if prone to them, you may want to consider other hair removal methods.
Longevity: Lasts 1-3 days
In Summary: Shaving is an effective method for most people who don’t mind shaving frequently, and unlike most hair removal methods, shaving is a perfect complement to maintain hair growth between electrolysis treatments. It's important to clean and change blades frequently to avoid infection. People with sensitive skin should consider using a shaving cream and after-shaving moisturizer that contains Aloe and or Vitamin E.
