If you choose shaving with a razor, you will be clear in 5 minutes.
As for the razor itself, know that you can find two types:

This method of hair removal is a good solution to save money because the purchase of the razor is cheaper than any other kind of hair removal.

Finally, shaving with a razor has the characteristic of being painless . As long as one does not cut, of course, but with a little practice this kind of stuff does not happen!
disadvantages
The main problem of hair removal is not so much during hair removal but rather its consequences.
Indeed, this method of depilation has bad reputation : it does not remove the bulb from the hair. As a result, the hair grows as vigorous as before.
This is why regular use of the razor causes an increase in the stiffness of the hair and its density . It is therefore growing thicker and grows faster and faster!
It is necessary to shave often enough to stay clean (about every three days).
Rebuilding can also leave you with unpleasant surprises.
Expect to have ingrown hairs (the hair grows under the skin), which can be a source of infection.
Shaving with a razor can also be accompanied by small cuts requiring the wearing of a dressing, not always aesthetic it must be admitted!
Moreover, this method of depilation does not fit all the zones of the body, especially the jersey , because not only can you cut, but it is not advisable to use this method on these Ultra-sensitive body parts, the wax remaining the best solution.
Finally (but it is really necessary to specify it), the depilation with the razor is not used on the face (mustache), because your hair will grow back in the form of beard, anti-glamor effect guaranteed!
How do you shave with a razor?
Stay in your bath for about ten minutes so that the skin softens slightly.
Then apply a layer of shaving foam, or just a little soap so that the razor slips more easily on the skin.
Then, pass the razor first in the direction of the growth of the hairs , then back to brush-hair, to minimize the risk of irritation.
Finally, rinse and then apply a moisturizer.
Legs :
Shave with long movements on large areas, and small movements on sensitive areas , such as knees or ankles.
Armpits :
Shave vertically up and down, as the hairs grow anarchically in this area.
If the skin of your underarms is not too sensitive, you can also shave in the horizontal direction.
The Jersey :
This area is one of the most sensitive parts of the body, the hairs are thick, so do not root on the shaving cream if you do not want to end up with plenty of pimples.
Shave in the direction of hair growth and never back to hair.
Avoid long movements and do not pass several times in the same place, to avoid ingrown hairs
Our advice for a successful shaving experience
- Before:
First, be aware that the blades of a woman's razor are quickly clogged by the hair . To avoid this, we advise you to have a bowl of hot water close to you where you shake your razor energetically so that it loses its hair.
Small tip:
Shave preferably in the evening because shaving removes the dead cells and the upper layer of the epidermis, so even if it allows to erase the skin, it also reduces the natural defenses of the skin for a few hours.
- During :
If you inaugurate this method of hair removal, go for it gently! The razor blades are sharp so there is no need to press hard so that your hair is sliced.
In addition, we advise against shaving on the arms that do not appreciate the regrowth too fast, and nobody wants arms to the pace of mat!
For better effectiveness, immerse yourself in a bath and wait two minutes before shaving.
For the followers of the shower, same principle.
Does the texture of the shaving foam hinder you? You can use Aleppo soap.
It is a natural soap that does not contain surfactants and that contains laurel oil, very beneficial and healing for the micro cuts caused by the fire of the razor.
So you lubricate the affected areas with Aleppo soap then you pass your razor.
To avoid cuts:
Finish through difficult areas. The more they are covered with foam, the lower the risk of irritation.
The episodic use of the razor may be advised as an alternative to another solution.
- After:
In order not to irritate your skin, avoid the use of deodorants after the depilation with the razor under penalty of tingling not frankly pleasant, unless they are without alcohol.
Also note:
New deos are now available with formulas that "tired" the hair and therefore repels them.
Ladies, it's up to you whether this hair removal method suits you!
