Shaving is the most common method of removing hair. It is cheap (especially if you compare it to laser hair removal price), quick and convenient, as you can do it yourself at home.
Shaving is also the most temporary method of hair removal because it merely cuts the hair off at the skin surface, without removing or weakening the roots.
Contrary to the common belief, shaving does not make the hair regrow thicker, darker, or grow faster or slower. However, the short hair shaft may be more noticeable as it grows back, because it has a blunt tip instead of the normal tapered tip.
Most people use a razor and if you decide to do the same, remember to use a safety razor. Electric razors are more expensive but less hassle to use and a little safer.
However, frequent hair shaving can be a real pain. Side effects can include razor bumps and other skin irritations and stubble growth between shaves can lead to itching and ingrown hairs. Shaving should be done after applying some type of moisturizer to the skin to help the razor glide over the skin, not cut or scrape it. Common moisturizers include water, shaving cream, hair conditioner, or body wash.
