History of Shaving
Shaving is one of the oldest forms of hair removal. From the beginning of time, men and women have been shaving hair from their bodies. In the beginning, people shaved so that it would not hinder themselves in battle i.e. predators could not grab their hair, etc. Centuries later, the ego was invented and vanity started coming into play. Women wanted to look beautiful for their men, and men wanted a prestigious beard or mustache. Up until this past century, everyone had to use what is known as the straight razor or a straight edge razor to shave themselves. This consisted of some sort of handle, with a sharpened blade made out of some sort of metal such as aluminum or iron.
Enter, the razor. When the razor was invented, this does not mean that the straight edge was out. Even in todays modern barber shops, barbers use disposable straight edge razor for two reasons: to get a close shave and to get a clean shave. What do we mean by a clean shave? Well, this basically means that you get close to the source of the hair (the root) and it leaves very little stubble behind. The reason why most people want a close shave is not only because it feels smooth, but the closer you get the longer you can wait without having to shave again.
Today, disposable razors rule the world. Razors such as the Gilette Mach 3 and the Quattro razors can have 2, 3, 4 and even up to 5 tiny blades all in one razor. These razors also normally come with an aloe strip that lubricates the skin as the razor is gliding against it. This will help reduce the amount of irritation in the skin and keep the skin free from razor burn as well as other irritation and rashes.
Many people do not want to use tools like the No No Hair Removal device and the Tria. They do not want to have permanent hair removal, and have the philosophy that eventually they might want to grow hair back in a particular area. Other people feel that they do not trust these devices. They feel that these devices or gadgets will emit some sort of ray that could damage your body or that it might leave a burn on your skin or even worse damage your skin or pores permanently.
Whatever the case, shaving is here to stay. As long as their is hair, there will be shaving.
