Shaving

Shaving is the process of removing body hair with a sharp blade. It is usually done for cosmetic purposes, but can also be done for purposes of sanitation. It is common to shave an area of the body before a surgical procedure. Shaving is also done for competitive reasons, such as increasing speed while swimming.

How long after you start shaving should you swtich to a non-electric razor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The transition from an electric razor to a non-electric razor largely depends on personal preference, comfort, and the desired shaving experience. There's no strict timeline for making the switch, as individual factors such as skin sensitivity, hair type, and grooming habits play a significant role.

Some individuals may start with an electric razor during their initial shaving experiences, as it tends to be quicker and more convenient, especially for those new to the process. However, as one becomes more adept at shaving and establishes a routine, they might choose to switch to a non-electric razor for a closer shave or a more traditional grooming experience.

The decision to switch can also be influenced by specific grooming needs. For example, if precision is crucial for facial hair styling or if someone prefers the sensory experience of using shaving cream or gel, they may opt for a non-electric razor.

There's no fixed timeframe for making the transition, and it's entirely subjective. Some individuals may continue using electric razors throughout their grooming journey, appreciating the efficiency and ease of use. Others may switch to non-electric razors early on or after experimenting with different methods. It's advisable to explore both options and choose the one that aligns with personal comfort, preferences, and desired results.

Is shaving face hair bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, if you are a girl you probably already shave all the way up your legs, you probably start at your ankle so I don't see the problem with starting at your foot, once you're at it, you'll simply start a little bit lower from then on. It makes more sense you don't shave your leg at all which is also good, than letting only the feet unshaved ;).

Does shaving a baby's head make her his hair grow fuller and thicker?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

shaving the skin inevitably causes an evening out of the lengths of all the individual hair, and will result in a fuller appearance, yes. Also for some reason, this seems to thicken the hair. Take care at the crown of a newborn, though, as their cranium has not fused yet.

What is peak shaving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Peak shaving is a process from the electricity business:

You shift demand from "peak times" (eg. noon) to times with lower demand (e.g. night) and thus "shave" the peak. You can do that e.g. with devices that do not need to run immediately like washing machines etc...

What state of matter is shaving cream?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Shaving cream is a liquid soap with a lot of gas bubbles mixed in it. It's the gas that makes it so frothy and thick that it is able to keep its shape. When the shaving cream stands overnight, the liquid in it evaporates, and all that is left where the gas bubbles once were, is a very light and thin solid layer of soap. So you can see that shaving cream has the characteristics of all three states.

Can you get blisters from shaving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. I have been struggling with that for 3 years. It is called Hidradenitis Supperativa. Try to apply Neosporin to it, before it gets any bigger than the size of a pea. This will kill the infection in it, and it will not have a chance to grow. Mine grew into the size of a golf ball, and I now have a draining open wound that will not heal. Be very careful and nip it in the bud and just slather that Neosporin on it. It will be gone in a few days. Unfortunately it was too late for me.

Does human leg hair grow back faster after shaving or waxing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nope, your hair will grow at the same rate. It doesn't matter if you cut it shave it or what ever. Your body has no way of sensing the change in length and therefore does not compensate for it an any way. The only reason why I can think anyone may assume that it is different is the fact that the hair doesn't have it's thinner tips it once had before it was cut giving it the appearance that it is thicker.
