Comparing Shaving To Other Hair Removal Methods
How fast does hair grow back after shaving?
It's very personal. If I take the example of my husband, he used to grow back hair, and he would shave in the morning at six o'clock. By two o'clock, he was unapproachable. Now if you take someone that doesn't grow much hair, they can go two, three days. It's very personal. It's very personal, and it can go one day to two-three days to sometimes even a week. But one thing for sure is that anyone who tells you that they grow back hair by two o'clock in the afternoon, you have to refer them to me.
Does hair grow back at different rates for men and women?
It's not that the rate of growth of the hair is different, it's that we shave different parts of our bodies. So, the hair on your face will look like it's growing faster only because the second it comes back out, you have more hair right on the face. The second it comes out, you see it right away. As an example, the hair on my legs, even though it's grown back, it will not be visible immediately so I could get away with two days.
Is the rate of hair growth different for the different parts of the body and face?
There's a difference between duvet and hair. If you've never shaved your face, for example, your hair is still all duvet. It's like baby's hair, right? Once you shave it, it's no longer duvet - it's hair.
Is shaving better than waxing?
If it is for men, shave the face versus wax the face. I would say shave the face. Because even though you get a close shave, you still keep a masculine look to the face. I would not imagine what a man's face would look like if he was waxing it. This is quite painful. When it comes to a woman, there is a thing about waxing that it lasts longer, for which it is better. It is better in the way that you will have for a week, your legs will look neat. But then it is not so great because then you have to wait until it grows back. So for a couple of days you are wearing pants or you look like a monkey. So in that respect shaving is better, because with shaving you can do that any time. You do it very fast. And you are always walking around looking very neat and very clean. In that respect, to me shaving is better.
Is shaving better than tweezing?
Shaving is definitely better than tweezing, because shaving just cuts the hair whereas when we're tweezing, you're just pulling, and you try to pull almost the root of it.
Is shaving better than using a depilatory?
Shaving is better than a depilatory. Depilatory is a chemical that attacks a hair in order to basically have it disintegrate, you know. That's the way it cuts it. The thing, also about a depilatory, it penetrates your skin. It's a harsh chemical, and I'm not too crazy about putting any harsh chemical on my skin. And shaving will not do that.
