a close shave?
i have 5 shoots lined up coming up, and I'm not sure how to get rid of all the "unwanted hair" I usually shave the day before a shoot but by the 3ed day I will have tiny stubbles showing up (under arm) , how should I get rid of that? I tried to shave that, but it didnt work! Thanks Mar 05 06 03:08 pm Link Shave, with either conditioner or shaving cream, with the grain of the hair (exfoliate first - Dial makes a good gentle exfoliant that I use), then reapply the conditioner/cream and shave against the grain. Exfoliate again, touch up any spots that aren't up to par, and you're good to go. Have a razor in your bag for any touch-ups that you may need to do. Oh, and use a fresh blade. It has the closer shave. Mar 05 06 03:15 pm Link OK;It all depends on how hairy you are.... Wax...will never fail you. Fast to get done; hurts a little...but then you are hair free for WEEKS on end! If you need to shave(???) use a good quality blade, like the Quattro, or the new 5 blade ones from Schiek... you can't go wrong with those. And yes, use a good conditioner for the process. You might want to consider electrical hair removal in the long haul. Best, Monika "I AM - the two most powerful words in the world, for whatever we put after them becomes our reality." Susan Howson Mar 05 06 03:27 pm Link if you do decide to wax make sure to give yourself a few days of cushioning before the shoot, so you can heal and the makeup artist's life will be easier. a lot of people are doing threading for facial hair, becuase it doesnt mess up the skin's texture.

Mar 06 06 01:14 pm Link If you use the same types of techniques for bikini waxing on your under arms (such as conditioner and dry stick deoderant) it generally gets a smoother shave: plus be sure to shave in all directions under arms as the hair grows many different ways.
