Shaving is an effective way to remove hair from most areas of the body. It’s great for shaving legs, underarms, upper lips, and bikini lines. However, there are some drawbacks to shaving, and waxing can be a better option.
Shaving is quick and easy, but the hair tends to grow back quickly, especially in sensitive areas such as the face. With shaving, there’s also a risk of creating razor burn, and nicking the skin, especially on more contoured areas. Waxing is a much more long-lasting solution, and the hair takes longer to grow back.
