What are some ways I can shave my body?
Methods to remove pubic hair include:
Shaving - uses a razor (straight razor, safety razor, or electric razor) to cut the hair at the level of the skin (or very close to it)
Epilators - these electric devices use rotating coils to pull the hairs out by the roots
Laser epilation and Intense pulsed light (IPL)
Waxing and Sugaring - Some hair salons in France offer what is called "epile complet" which is the removal of all pubic hair using hot wax.
Hair removal creams and lotions
Electrology - involves using a current of electricity down the length of the hair to kill the hair root
Hair Growth Inhibitors - these lotions claim to slow the hair growth and even prevent its growth but they have had limited success
Tweezers - this is a manual method usually done to remove any remaining hairs after use of the other treatments.
Note that:
Electrical razors are a little safer and do not shave off skin along with the hair.
Shaving can cause skin irritation (pseudofolliculitis barbae, or "razor bumps") and hair getting locked under the skin area.
Hair regrowth can sometimes be uncomfortable and itchy, although continued removal reduces this effect.
Using hair removal creams or lotions in the pubic and chest areas is not advisable, as it may result in serious skin irritations.
