Shaving will get the job done, and it will
get it done
quick. But you have to be very careful to
get a smooth shave. If you want your skin smooth and hair free, you need
to
soak it, use the correct shaving gel for your skin, and shave slowly
against
the hair with a sharp razor.
Many people do not have time for this
everyday,
and that is where the problems occur. Patches are missed, (don't you
hate that?
When I used to shave I would always miss my ankle, and not notice it
until I
was out), skin is gashed and left with a scab, or the shave just
isn't close enough and your left with sharp stubbles. So much for smooth
skin.
Speaking of stubble, shaving cuts
hairs at it's thickest
part, so when it grows back it is coarser and rougher than before. And
it will
look darker, too, because the thick pinpoints of hair growing back are
more
noticeable.
Waxing, however, will pull your hair out at it's root,
therefore the
hair that grows back will be thinner and finer, and much less
noticeable. It
begins growing back at the follicle, so when the hair emerges, weeks
later, it
is tapered and less obvious, finer and softer.
The
two different methods provide two very different results. With shaving
hair grows back faster and the hair is coarse and thick. With waxing the
hair grows back weeks later than shaving, and it grows back finer and
softer.
Waxing will get you silky smooth with no
bleeding, and no thick, sharp, ugly regrowth the next day. If you've
been an avid shaver and you
want something that lasts, consider letting your hair grow out about a ΒΌ
of an
inch, and book a wax at Studio Urban Wax
with one of our highly qualified estheticians.
