Introduction
Body hair is a major hassle for women especially for Asian women who have really thick patches of hair almost everywhere. While going to the parlor for monthly appointments might seem like an easier option than doing it yourself (because of your lack of involvement in the work and the nice, soothing feeling of getting pampered), it can be quite expensive and inconvenient due to travelling to and from the premises, especially during the quarantine. Not to mention waxing and threading are extremely painful methods and no one wants to pay so much money to feel so much pain. If you have tried every method of hair removal including epilators, bleach creams, hair removing creams, even tweezers, and still felt unsatisfied with the results, it’s about time you try razors.
Why Razors?
A lot of myths regarding razors are prevalent in our society that tend to make women feel disinclined towards using them. Those myths are, however, misguiding and contain little to no truth. One of the most common ones is that your hair grows darker and thicker once you shave it. Dr Lawrence E. Gibson M.D. of Mayo Clinic busted this myth recently by stating, “No — shaving hair doesn't change its thickness, color or rate of growth. Shaving facial or body hair gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out. During this phase, the hair might be more noticeable and perhaps appear darker or thicker — but it's not.”
Razors are the most convenient option for hair removal because of their low prices, easy usage and low time consumption compared to other available options. Moreover, using them can spare you the physical discomfort and pain that other methods bring (waxing, threading, epilating, tweezing), the need to make time in your busy schedule for parlor appointments, and knowledge of a certain skill level without which you can burn or cut yourself if you try other methods (waxing, epilating).
Which razors to use and which to avoid?
Like with every other product you use, you need to make a smart razor purchase so that you don’t regret spending your hard-earned money. Numerous different companies offer a variety of razors which are available in the market and some of them cost as low as Rs.100. However, you might not want to buy such razors even though their low prices seem very appealing because usually, their quality isn’t reliable, they only have one or two blades which don’t give a proper shave, and they tend to rust very quickly when exposed to water.
A good quality razor might cost you more but you should consider buying them over cheaper ones because they have more blades, are made of higher quality material and come with other special features that makes your shave more convenient and better.
