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 do you prevent shaving irritation?

After shaving legs, armpits, bikini area, put hydrocortizone cream on, it works great, it prevents irritation and bumps...:D

Can you get blisters from shaving?

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?

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.

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

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.
