5 reasons to leave your wax strips for a razor

For ages, women have been on edge of a dilemma for finding an ideal option for them when it comes to

removing body hair. Shaving and waxing are two of the most preferred methods with totally different

approaches to them. While waxing is the method of tugging out body hair from the roots with a number

of pulls, shaving is a technique which is more of a trimming of surface hair and keeps your root hair

intact. It cannot be said which method is superior to the other, although there exist certain reasons which

suggest why ditching your hot wax for a new razor can be a better suited option for you. Let’s get into

those reasons.

1. No waiting periods with shaving

The next time you visit a professional for a waxing session or decide to do it at home, you have to wait

until your hair grows roughly to a quarter of an inch. This requires patience and we know you can’t wait

to get rid of those tiny hairs popping out again. On the other hand, shaving is way more flexible with your

own schedule.

2. Quicker and easier

It is quite obvious why many ladies prefer going with a razor. It is a quick and simpler process when

compared to waxing. Just get into your shower and it could take around 2-10 minutes depending upon

the areas you choose to shave. With waxing, it can easily take up half an hour and even more.

3. Razor goes easy on your budget

A pack of disposable razors and a shaving cream could only cost up to a few bucks. However, the charges

for a professional wax appointment could be higher in contrast to a shave. Hence, economically it makes

more sense to opt shaving.

4. Less painful

Typically, the most common reason why waxing is avoided by some ladies is the pain that accompanies it.

This can be problematic for those who wish to regularly remove their hair. And for some women waxing

can be harsh if their skin is sensitive type. Shaving can help you avoid this painful process to get the skin

a toddler could slide on.

5. Anywhere anytime

We all encounter those sudden plans that we need to be ready for in record breaking time. Whether it’s a

party or an interview, you can’t just go unprepared with your body hair ready to be braided. During these

times the only option that could save you is a quick shave with your razor. And even if you are in a desert

or ocean for vacation, using a razor will make more sense.
