carries a high risk of nicking or cutting the skin as well as missing
large areas. Ask a close friend for help!

Avoid
shaving the
shoulders, back or tummy.
The
risk of ingrown
hair is great and much painful irritation can be
caused.
Addendum:
For the back shaving
is now an option with the arrival of the Mangroomer device
on the market -
see box to right >>
Waxing or Sugaring is
a good method for all these areas.
Taking
a shower directly after waxing the back helps eliminate
the possibility of acne breakouts and skin redness.

Underarms
Shaving
is safe in this area. Hair under the arm grows in all directions
so a side to side stroke as well as up and down strokes may be necessary
to catch all the hairs. Do not apply deodorants or antiperspirants
right after shaving as this can cause acute irritation and soreness.
Waxing
or Sugaring are also safe. Click
here for special information on underarm waxing
Do
not use depilatories to avoid the
risk of chemical burns on the sensitive skin in this area.
After
the skin in this area has become accustomed to shaving, applying
a thin layer of Vaseline petroleum jelly instead of a shaving foam
or gel will give a really close shave.
Pubic Area and Bikini Line
If
the hair is long it can be cut down with scissors. Then use a Waxing
or Sugaring solution.
Careful
shaving is also possible. See the Genital
Hair Removal page for details.
Genitals - Male
Hair
growing on the shaft of the penis and on the testicles
can be removed by shaving using a new wet razor.
Great
care is needed to avoid cuts.
See
the Genital
Hair Removal page for detailed instructions.
Follow
up with a hair
inhibitor to slow down the hair growth until it stops
growing back. |

Genitals - Female
Waxing
or sugaring is generally best. Shaving will only cause stubble to
appear after a few days and it may cause skin irritation and painful
bumps.

the Genital Hair

Anus and Perineum
The
Perineum is the area of skin rich in nerve endings located below
the anus. In men it extends to the base of the testicles. In women
it extends to the vaginal opening.
The
Anus is a mucous membrane.
Depilatories
should not be used in these sensitive areas as they can result in
serious damage.
Shaving
produces stubble which may cause irritation as the sides chafe and
rub together.
Waxing
or Sugaring are the best methods.

Legs, Feet, Toes
Shaving
the legs is popular but the hair grows back after a short time.
Waxing
or Sugaring are preferred although
you have to wait until there is about a quarter of an inch of growth. |
