Shaving

Shaving is simply a method of passing a sharp blade or electric razor over the surface of the skin to remove hair. When performing this method, it is important to always use a clean razor with a sharp blade. Also, to help lessen skin irritation and cuts, you should only shave hair when it is wet and only in the direction in which the hair lie (with the grain).

Contrary to popular belief, the process of shaving does not change the growth rate, texture, or color of hair. It will not grow back thicker just from the process of shaving! Razors and electric shavers fall under the jurisdiction of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
