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.

Do you have to use shaving cream when shaving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No you can shave without shaving cream, but I don not recomend it.

Shaving cream lubricates the skin so that the razor balde glides over it cutting the hair only. Without shaving cream you would experience a lot more razor nicks.

You can use ordinary bar soap.

5 YEARS - Fusion blade lifeI just turned 40 and had to give back a present a family member had already given me years before...

OK it was almost 5 years ago (and still the razor I was given still works. The Gillette Fusion Power Brrrrrrrr razor still works. When I ask my mates how long the blade lasted they all have different time scales. I still win as I'm still using the original blade on my Gillette Fusion since xmas 2007.

I keep telling peeps but they don't believe me. I know you guys can help as it would not be financially beneficial.

I have a smooth shave with a blade I got in 2007. Why should anyone listen to your adverts sayini you need to spend £7.99 every month to get the best shave?

So why don't you advertise that we should change the bade before the 5yr period is up?

Why does shaving legs hurt?

Asked by Wiki User

If you cut yourself it hurts terribly. Or if you have a lot of hair to shave it will get caught in the razor and it could pull the hair which would hurt. But if neither of that happens it shouldn't hurt at all.

If you're wondering when you should first start shaving...

Everyone goes through puberty at different rates. Some people start shaving at 11 or 12, others, not until 15 or 16. When the hair on your face becomes bothersome to you, shave it.

When shaving the face and pubic region should you shave with or against the direction of growth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You want to shave with the grain/direction of growth.

For a closer shave you can go against if you know the areas on yourself well enough because they can become irritated, bumpy, and itchy after this.

Your feet are really hairy should you shave but your mom already says no to shaving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you shave the hair off, it will simply continue to grow back, only it will grow back thicker and darker, and therefore, more noticeable. Trust your mother on this one. Perhaps ask her about other alternatives like permanent laser hair removal (it's possible that you are too young to be a good candidate for that, though), or wait until you are old enough to decide a course of action for yourself. There are better, more permanent alternatives to shaving, if not now, then later.

How do you stop in grown hairs when shaving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many ways to treat in ingrown pubic hair

Here are simple proven methods that were used in ancient societies thousands of years ago and are still effective today.

Method 1.

The body will try to eliminate the ingrown pubic hair itself.

You can certainly make it easier for your body go the gym and visit the sauna.

When you have built up a good sweat, lightly scrub exfoliate, to remove the upper layer of dead skin with a "loofa".

A loofa is water based plant and is a slightly coarse sponge.

You can find it in any chemist.

After scrubbing, the ingrown hair will be free as the dilation of the pores will have occurred due to the heat of the sauna,

Get tweezers ready and simply pluck them as you see them

You must stretch the skin tightly, grip the hair close to its root, and tug it.

It's a short sharp bit of discomfort but it works.

After hair has been removed simply wipe on some antiseptic solution to prevent infection.

Method 2

If you don't fancy the above here is another way

Three times a day compress on the affected area with a sponge soaked in hot water then apply any product containing salicylic acid.

Salicylic acid is a strong exfoliating chemical that will help free trapped hairs. Ask your pharmacist to recommend any suitable product.

The daily use of the above will simply help the body take care of the ingrown pubic hairs,
You can apply some baby oil mixed with Aloe Vera lotion to the areas as well, these two products will prevent irritation and Aloe Vera will prevent infection

This will keep the skin from becoming further irritated, and the Aloe Vera is a natural antiseptic which will help prevent infection at the affected site.

The above methods for treating ingrown pubic hair work just as they did thousands of years ago and they will work for you to.

There are of course many salons dealing with pubic hair as we have had the rise of the bald sensuous look, but you can try the above first and it will cost you a lot less.
