  • Question
    Which type of conditioner is suitable for shaving?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    High-end conditioners aren't necessary for shaving; however, cheap conditioners may be more likely to contain harsher chemicals. Since the act of shaving also strips layers of skin off of your body as well as hair, use natural herbal products for long-term use.
  • Question
    If I'm shaving my underarms, should I leave the conditioner/shaving cream on while I'm shaving?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes. You want to use the conditioner just like you would shaving cream, so it has to stay between your skin and the razor for protection.

    What else can I try instead of hair conditioner and shaving cream?

    You can try regular soap. You can also use a sugar scrub. Make sure that your razor isn't dull, though, because these methods may not work as well.

    Conditioner hydrates hair once absorbed, which makes the hair more soft and less resistant to the blade when shaving.

    Almost anywhere should be okay, but not just everywhere. You should not use it on your bust area and also try to avoid the inside of your labia.

  • Question
    Is it make hair grow thicker?

    Shaving does not make hair grow back any thicker or denser. Conditioner may thicken the diameter of hair strands, but the effect wears off over time.

  • Question

    You could try this, just be sure to not get it in your genitals. Always wash off completely after shaving. If it doesn't work for you after trying it, then don't use it again.

  • Question
    I still don't understand the terms "with the grain" and "against the grain". Would you mind explaining it?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    The term itself is an idiom that comes from lumber yards; "grain" is the lines that appear on a board when cut. If you run your hand down a piece of lumber going in the direction of the grain, it feels smooth; if you rub your hand in the opposite direction--against the grain--you'll get splinters. You can use the same technique to determine the direction to shave. The direction that you run your hand across your skin and your hair lies smoothly is with the grain; the direction that makes your hair stand up and feel prickly is the opposite, against the grain.

    Unfortunately, you need a razor to shave. Don't try to use any other type of knife to shave, as razors are made specifically to go safely over skin.
