Shaving is the most temporary method of hair removal for the reason that it merely cuts the hair off at the exterior of the skin. Shaving does not create the hair shaft thicker, darker, or grow faster or slower. However, the short hair shaft may be more obvious as it grows out because it has a rounded tip instead of the normal tapered tip. Shaving should be made after applying some type of moisturizer to the skin to facilitate the razor glide over the skin, not cut or scrape it. Common moisturizers include water, shaving cream, hair conditioner, or else body wash
