Using razors to remove hair

razor hair removal
Do you use razors?

Razors are handy, there's no doubt about it. They're not too expensive, easy to use, and perfect for last-minute, emergency hair removal. You can use them all over your body, even on pubic hair. Some would say, they're the best hair remover out there. That being said, there are downsides to razors. 

Ingrown hairs, razor rash and increasingly spiky hair will leave you frustrated and embarrassed by the areas hair removal was meant to make you confident about.

How to shave with a razor

1. Invest in quality equipment

Depending on how frequently you're shaving, it could be worth your while to invest in a quality piece of kit. 

2. Trim the hair

If you're shaving particularly bushy areas, you should begin by trimming the hair. You can use a pair of scissors or a specialised trimmer. This will help you get a closer shave. 

3. Use a sharp blade

When shaving any part of your body, you should avoid using a dull blade. Dull blades can cause skin irritation and stop you from getting a close shave. To ensure that you're using a sharp enough blade, check out our guide for replacing razors below.

4. Wet the skin 

Before shaving, it is best to wet the skin. If you're shaving your legs, bikini line or underarm, you can do this in the shower or bath. Simply soak the areas in warm water for a few minutes before shaving.

5. Exfoliate

Exfoliating helps to get smoother results and reduce the chances of skin irritation or ingrown hairs. Use a loofah or a scrub in a circular motion to gently exfoliate the areas you wish to shave.

But should you exfoliate or shave first? Find out now! 

WARNING: Do not exfoliate or use any products in intimate areas.

6. Use a shaving foam or gel

Lathering on a shaving foam or gel will not only help you to see which areas have been shaved but it will also help the blade to move smoothly across your skin.  

7. Shave with gentle strokes 

Now, you can start shaving! Always go steadily to avoid cutting your skin and try to shave in as few strokes as possible. The more you go over the same area, the more irritation you will cause. It's best to shave in the direction of hair growth, but this does not always get the closest shave. If you'd prefer, you can shave "against the grain". 

8. Rinse 

To get the best shave possible, it's important to rinse off your blade between strokes. Hair can quickly build up on the blades, making it harder to get a clean shave. Once you have finished shaving, take the time to rinse the blades thoroughly, removing any hair and foam.

You should also take care to rinse your skin, preferably with cool water to help close the pores and soothe the area.

9. Pat dry

Setting your razor aside to dry, you should now pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

10. Moisturise

Now that your skin is dry, you can go ahead and apply a moisturiser, oil or post-shave balm. The soap in shaving gels and foams can be drying, so it's important to nourish your skin for beautiful results.

How often should I replace my razor? 

how often should you replace a razor guide
Follow our handy guide!

You may be wondering how long you should use a razor before replacing it. The answer depends on how often you shave, the quality of your blades, and how well you look after them.

As a rule of thumb, a razor should last you between 7-14 uses. It can be hard to keep track of how often you use your blade, so this guide may help:

  • If you shave daily, you should replace your razor every 1 to 2 weeks.
  • If you shave every other day, you should replace your razor every 2 to 3 weeks.
  • If you shave twice a week, you should replace your razor every 4 to 6 weeks.

Other signs that it is time to replace your razor include:

  • The blades are rusty 
  • You notice it pulling on your hair
  • You find the area itchier than normal after shaving

Hair removal cream

Have you ever tried using hair removal cream? It's something most of us experiment with at some point in our lives. Unlike razors, hair removal cream won't leave you with a razor burn.

There are some cons to using it, though. Like shaving, hair removal cream will only remove hair above the skin's surface. This means you'll probably see regrowth after a couple of days. Another problem with the cream is that it can be tricky to apply, and the 10-minute wait time can be equally as tasking. Finally, it's not a form of natural hair removal and it can have a bit of an unpleasant smell.

Hair removal cream definitely isn't a quick fix, but it can produce smoother results than shaving if you're prepared to put the effort in.

How to use hair removal cream

To use hair removal cream, you should always follow the instructions on the packet. The process normally involves: 

  1. Evenly applying the cream to coat the hair.
  2. Washing the excess cream off of your hands.
  3. Waiting for the recommended amount of time - check the packaging!
  4. Testing a small area to see if enough time has passed.
  5. Removing the cream and hair, and rinsing your skin clean.

Waxing

Waxing can be the most expensive and most painful hair removal option you can go for, but many people would say it's worth it.

Wax pulls hair from the root, leaving you with flawless results that last the test of time. Although it can be painful at first, thanks to a combination of reduced hair growth and your skin becoming used to the process, the pain does decrease over time.

Waxing may provide great results but, as it's a costly and timely process, it's impractical for many of us to get done regularly. If you're short for time and money, you could just get waxed before holidays and special events.

Tips for getting waxed

1. Grow your hair out

You should make sure that your hair is a good length for the wax to grip to. You should aim for about 1/4 inch, which is about the size of a grain of rice. If it's any longer than that, the beautician may trim the hair before getting started.

It takes about 3 weeks to grow your hair to this length, so make sure you stop shaving in advance of your appointment.

2. Prep your skin 

It's a good idea to have a warm shower before getting a wax. While showering, you should exfoliate your skin using a body scrub or a loofah. Prepping your skin in this way will help to open the pores and prevent ingrown hairs.

After your shower, leave your skin "naked". Don't apply any moisturisers, fake tan or oils and try to avoid deodorants or perfumes, too. 

3. Aftercare

Your beauty salon might provide you with an after-wax gel or lotion to soothe the area. If they don't, we'd suggest buying some in advance. It'll help keep everything smooth and free from irritation. 

It's a good idea to wear loose clothing to allow the skin to breathe, and you should also avoid sunbathing, saunas and steam rooms for a couple of days after. 

Natural hair removal remedies

Natural hair removal? Yes, you heard that right!

Believe it or not, there are some natural remedies that can slow down hair growth, reduce body hair, and even remove it completely.

We've rounded up 6 of the best below for you to try yourself, in the comfort of your own home.

1. Hair removal using sugar wax

sugar wax for natural hair removal
Weird, but it works!

Sugar wax has been used around the world for many years, but it's only recently become popular in the UK.

What exactly is sugar wax? Exactly what it says on the tin...only there is no tin because it's completely homemade. In fact, you can whip up your own sugar wax at home using:

  • 200g sugar
  • 60ml lemon juice
  • 60ml water

Before you get started, check out our tips for waxing above. Even with a natural, at-home method, the same tips still apply. 

Method:

  1. Add the ingredients to a saucepan on the hob, and stir to combine. Begin to heat, slowly bringing the mixture to a boil.
  2. Once it boils, simmer the ingredients on a low to medium heat, stirring frequently. Once the mixture has turned golden brown in colour, it's time to remove the pan.
  3. Pour the ingredients into a jar and leave to cool for around 30 minutes.
  4. Spoon some of the wax into your hands, and roll it into a ball.
  5. Make sure the area of skin you want to remove hair from is clean and dry, then begin to spread the wax over it.
  6. Let it sit for a minute, then lift a corner of the sugar wax (enough to give you a good grip).
  7. Get ready...and rip the wax off in the opposite direction of your hair growth.
  8. Post-waxing, clean the area to remove any residue.

2. Natural hair removal at home using a pumice stone

Natural hair removal using a pumice stone
Have you ever tried this?

Turns out there's another use for your pumice stone that doesn't involve feet at all (unless you have very hairy feet that is!) - natural hair removal.

The rough texture of pumice stone is great for catching hairs and removing them from your skin. Better yet? This is a 100% natural hair removal remedy.

To try it yourself, use a dry pumice stone on clean, dry skin in small circular motions. The pores will cling onto hairs and pull them out.

Be sure to moisturise afterwards, as the texture of a pumice stone also provides an exfoliating effect and may leave the skin dry.

3. Natural hair removal remedy using egg

eggs in box
We bet you already have eggs in the fridge!

Want to remove facial hair naturally? Eggs are not only extremely nutritious, but they have some useful properties when it comes to beauty, too.

Perhaps you've seen egg dry before and noticed how it creates a film-like substance on the surface it sets on. It's this power you're going to harness when using egg for hair removal.

To try it yourself, you'll need:

  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp cornflour

Method:

  1. Mix the ingredients together to combine, then apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin.
  2. Leave the mixture to set on your face (around 15-20 minutes). It should form a film.
  3. Begin to peel the mask off from the out in. The mask will not only extract impurities, but it will also lift light facial hair.

Eggs are an inexpensive and gentle way of treating unwanted facial hair. It's especially popular for getting rid of that unwanted peach fuzz above your upper lip. Why not give this natural hair removal remedy a try today?

4. Remove unwanted hair using papaya paste

If you're looking for a long-term solution, you may want to consider Papaya.

A study by the International Journal of Pharmaceutics found that the enzyme called papain has a "depilatory" (hair removing) effect. This enzyme is found inside Papaya. Although it won't remove hair overnight, it could reduce regrowth over time. 

Sound too good to be true? Try this natural hair removal remedy at home and see the results for yourself.

You'll need:

  •  1-2 tbsp mashed, raw papaya flesh
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder

Method:

  1. Mix together the papaya and turmeric to form a paste.
  2. Rub onto the skin liberally, massaging the mixture in so it reaches hair follicles.
  3. Leave for 15 minutes.
  4. Wash off with water.
  5. Repeat regularly to see a reduction in hair growth (2-3 times per week).

Papaya not only smells delicious but could be a permanent solution to your unwanted body hair too. Who'd have thought it!

5. How to remove hair at home using turmeric

turmeric
Could this everyday spice help with your facial hair?

Turmeric is a bright yellow, fragrant spice, often found in Indian recipes. 

Outside of the kitchen, Indian women have used it for many years for all sorts of natural beauty remedies. One such remedy is the removal of unwanted facial hair, and it's surprisingly easy to do!

We know what you're thinking... does Tumeric really remove hair permanently? A 2017 study in Phytomedicine found that curcuma, the active ingredient in turmeric, slowed hair growth and lightened the skin.

Want to try this DIY?

  1. Mix 3 tsp turmeric powder with 1 tsp milk.
  2. Spread the paste onto the area of skin with unwanted facial hair in the same direction as hair growth.
  3. Leave until dry (about 20 minutes).
  4. Add a small amount of water to hands, wet the paste slightly, and begin to scrub the skin using small, circular motions.
  5. Wash with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Like papaya, turmeric paste must be used regularly to reduce the rate of hair growth over time. Keep at it, and you'll be facial-hair free before you know it.

      To minimize turmeric-related staining on the skin, wash thoroughly after applying, avoid leaving it on for too long, and apply a thin layer. If staining becomes noticeable, stop using turmeric and consult with a dermatologist.

      What's raw papaya

    3. Author Joanne A on June 11, 2019 at 10:02 am

      Hi Lacey! Raw papaya is the green variation. Raw papaya has a higher concentration of papain than when it is ripe, making it better for natural hair removal.

    4. Author Anonymous in America on August 1, 2019 at 10:23 pm

      Hi there Joanne! I am going to give this a try today and realize now that perhaps by "raw" you don't mean uncooked... you actually mean "the papaya flesh is so unripe that it is still green on the outside and white flesh and white seeds on the inside" (in American terms). Whereas we are used to looking for the ready-to-eat stage that is a fragrant vibrant yellow and orange color with black seeds inside. Is that correct? Thanks in advance for your patience while I try to figure out this economical and promising new tip :) !!!

    5. Author Joanne A on August 2, 2019 at 10:46 am

      Just wanted to add, I have an imbalance of hormones and once you start to grow the hair you can't stop it. There are hormone balancers and Vaniqa cream by RX to stop the hair or papya paste, but once the hair is there it is there to stay. If you only have a few or a ligth peach fuzz I urge you to leave it. I did not leave my fuzz and now have a full blow under beard and side burns. SMH 42yrs old and I started removal at age 21 when it became a joke when out with friends and guys.

    5. Author Joanne A on April 28, 2023 at 4:58 pm

      Blending a whole raw papaya and keeping it for use may cause it to lose its potency and spoil over time. To make a papaya and turmeric paste, blend a small amount of papaya with a teaspoon of turmeric powder and use it once a week or every two weeks.

      Hi there, Pam! These methods should work for those areas, though you may want to avoid the scrubs for the pubic area. Always do a patch test and take care to avoid any infections.

    Hi, I have always been curious about pumice stones, you mean it takes off the root? I heard the advantage it's much less painful than waxing, epilating and sugaring (which is in turn less painful because it does not adhere to the skin) :), or it just consume the hair shaft but for some reasons it lasts much more? This has me gently skeptic, because doesn't any hair shaft shortened for whatever cause, grow back again to it's specific length, although it's a myth that it gets any thicker (it's just cut blunt, hence uglier and apparently thicker ^_-)? Does hair stay resting for longer time as if it hasn't been cut?

    1. Author Joanne A on January 24, 2019 at 9:35 am

      Hi there! It's a very gradual method and can take some time to see results, but over time hair regrowth should diminish with regular use.

    Hi, I don't have much hair for a male, but like many still have some superfluous hair on my shoulders and feet, so at the turn of summer, clothes start to get much lighter and less covering, socks are worn less often, deeper and wider scoop and v- necks, boat necks on lighter t - shirt or long sleeves, I don't really like the look of it , while I don't mind it elsewhere so I usually tell this hair off with the razor every 3 - 4 days, without problems, and I go on till fall, when I start wearing heavier clothes and socks full time again and pretty much stop. Would you suggest starting with this pumice stone, while hair is still a bit softer and resting spared from recent shaves (except a trim might come handy before the abrasion)? Can i find these on ebay or such? Thanks so much.

      I've heard some conflicting ideas about salt water. For head hair, it can be detrimental. It dehydrates the hair, making it more likely to break off and therefore reducing hair growth. I've also read that it can be good for the actual hair follicle, promoting hair growth from there. I would stick to one of the other tried and tested methods.

    I have tried all of the above remedies.. but at a certain period of time hair starts to grow. I am thinking to try the laser hair removal treatment which the Dr. confidently says that i won't be getting any hair growth till 10 years. Dear Joanne A, Please advice me should i try the laser hair removal treatment or not ?? I know it's damn costly but i will be paying the Dr. in installments which will help me in clearing his balance fees.

    Hi, for body hair, at the end, I defaulted to shaving again, but at least I can say I'm fairly comfortable and satisfied :). I might consider papaya to slow it down a bit at most, with realistic expectations, of course. Could this pumice though, maybe contrast and relieve possible calluses on feet with a lower chance of stimulating them in the process? Thanks for your tips.

    1. Author Joanne A on July 31, 2019 at 2:37 pm

      You're welcome! Could you explain what you mean by stimulating?

    2. Author Antonymous on August 3, 2019 at 11:55 am

      Oh ok, sorry. So, in theory a callus is a defence reaction of skin of some zones of our body more exposed possible irritation by pressure and chafing, which are often heels or toes, I read that for this reason removing them by too harsh methods could stimulate and elicit them back more if our body still see/feel it as an aggression to defend from, but not sure :). Have a nice day.

    Stephanie C, pulling of sugar wax in the opposite direction of hair growth can, and will break the hair shaft. This will also prevent the hair follicle from collapsing. So nothing permanent there. Your methods really are voodoo magic and you give absolutely no explanation of how or why these methods would or should work. Really, What a waist of my time!

    1. Author Joanne A on August 19, 2019 at 11:44 am

      Hi Michelle! Waxing is not a permanent hair removal method, but it will make the hair appear thinner than before as it removes hair at the source. It also slows down regrowth, because the hair will need to regrow completely, unlike with shaving.

    So all of these remedies are stating that if they're done regularly that you will see less "re-growth" over time. So for example, the turmeric paste on the facial hair... is it the paste itself that removes it from its roots over time or do you still need to be plucking or waxing prior to the paste application. Basically what I'm asking is if the hair needs to first be removed from the root and then the turmeric or papaya mixture be applied regularly. I have very sensitive skin and cannot use wax on the majority of my body. My legs are just about the only place that doesn't get super irritated when I wax. Thanks!

I tried it on my bikini area as I wasn't sure about skin staining and figured somewhere hidden would be a good place to start. It's done a reasonable job at removal, so I may just try it on other parts, especially as the staining wasn't anywhere near as hard to remove as I'd expected.

Please don't take offense, I'm mean no harm or condescension!!! I also want to note that I do NOT know the sites policies or your personal restrictions. For those who have issues finding some of the recipe ingredients, having a bit of a "culture clash," or defining terms differently why not modify the article to include some of the "commonly asked questions?" For example, the semantics required when you are suggesting using fresh papayas, but explain it is better to use when not quite ripe. Another redundancy seems to be the lack of convienance in finding other ingredients such asturmeric. Given that you obviously have a variety of people in "unknown lands," or with other means of facilitating what you or I would view as simplistic may be quite frustrating, scarce, and uneasily obtained. Perhaps, if your site allows, you could research, post links, and even make a small profit (you would honestly refer to, should you choose a route such as this) to help facilitate an easier path for others to a achieve all ingredients. Again, I mean no offense and simply wish to help. Lol, AND once more, thank you for the article, suggestions, patience, and your articulations! I wish you the very best and many blessings!!! P.S.

    3. Author Joanne A on January 20, 2023 at 12:39 pm

      Some people believe that turmeric mixed with water can be used as a paste to remove unwanted hair, but little scientific evidence supports this claim. Additionally, turmeric can cause skin irritation for some people, so it's essential to test it on a small area of the skin before applying it to the face. Finally, it's always best to consult a dermatologist before trying any new hair removal treatment.

    1. Author Joanne A on April 17, 2023 at 12:24 pm

      Papaya and turmeric may have properties that help remove hair, but making a gel formulation can be complex, and it's best to consult a qualified cosmetic formulator or chemist for guidance.

      One natural way to remove hair from the beard area is to use a mixture of equal parts honey, lemon juice, and sugar to create a paste. This mixture can be applied to the beard and left on for a few minutes before being removed with warm water and a washcloth.

    Can papaya method work on under-arms and under-legs(bikni area) ?

    1. Author Joanne A on February 15, 2023 at 4:28 pm

      While papaya hair removal is generally safe for most body areas, it may not be the most effective or practical method for underarm and bikini area hair removal due to their sensitivity and thicker hair. Other methods like shaving, waxing, or hair removal creams designed for sensitive areas may be more appropriate for these regions.

    1. Author Joanne A on February 14, 2023 at 12:19 pm

      The effectiveness and duration of turmeric paste for hair removal can vary depending on individual hair growth rates and other factors. Generally, the paste needs to be applied consistently for some time to see results, and regular maintenance treatments may be necessary. It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or esthetician for advice on the frequency and duration of use based on your specific needs and skin type.

    I've heard waxing damages your skin because we pull the hair harshly off. If I wax using natural ingredients will it cause damage?

    1. Author Joanne A on February 13, 2023 at 12:39 pm

      Regardless of the ingredients used, waxing can cause skin irritation, redness, and sensitivity, especially if done harshly. Natural ingredients like honey, sugar, and lemon juice can help reduce the damage and provide some moisturisation and exfoliation. However, taking measures to minimize damage and patch testing before use is still essential.

    Hey joa what to do for full body hair removing

    1. Author Joanne A on January 17, 2023 at 3:51 pm

      Natural methods for total body hair removal include using sugar or honey wax, egg and cornstarch paste, papaya and turmeric, coffee grounds and olive oil, and lemon juice and sugar. These methods are generally considered less harsh on the skin and less likely to irritate chemical or mechanical processes. However, it may take longer to see results, and the hair may grow back quicker. Always patch-test these methods on a small skin area before applying them to the whole body and consult a doctor or a dermatologist before starting any hair removal method.

    2. Author Antonymous on February 14, 2023 at 4:15 pm

      Hi, quicker from sugaring? I always knew hair growing back thicker/quicker was attributed to shaving, though to a limited extent, not to waxing and sugaring as that should thin out hair possibly damaging the follicle. I agree on testing on a few cm2 of skin before starting a different method on a new zone of the body (:. Though shaving only cuts hair so the thicker, hair that I know would only be hormones affecting the cut hair as it has to grow back, no big deal (:.

    3. Author Joanne A on March 6, 2023 at 4:24 pm

      Waxing or sugaring can lead to hair growing back thinner over time, but everyone's hair growth patterns are different.

      Boiled papaya may not be a suitable substitute for raw papaya in papaya turmeric paste used for hair removal. It may destroy the enzyme papain, which exfoliates dead skin cells. Therefore, it's best to use raw papaya for making the paste.

      We suggest you use sugaring paste for natural hair removal for your 5-year-old. Sugaring paste is made from natural ingredients such as sugar, lemon, and water and is gentle on the skin. This method is less painful than waxing and can be done at home. However, remember that hair removal at a young age is unnecessary and that discussing the options with a paediatrician before proceeding is essential.

      To reduce razor burn and prevent ingrown hairs, exfoliate before shaving, use a sharp razor, shave in the direction of hair growth, rinse with cool water, and moisturize afterwards.

    1. Author Joanne A on January 27, 2023 at 12:13 pm

      Ripe papaya can be used for natural hair removal, but it may not be as effective as raw papaya. Raw papaya contains an enzyme called papain, responsible for breaking down the protein in hair, making it weaker and easier to remove. Ripe papaya may have less papain and may not be as effective in removing hair. Additionally, ripe papaya may be more challenging to apply to the skin as it can be softer and more delicate than raw papaya.

      Egg white, sugar, and cassava flour can potentially be used as a DIY hair removal treatment. Still, cassava flour may not be a suitable substitute for corn flour in this mixture, as cassava flour has a different texture and consistency than corn flour. It may also contain other nutrients or chemical components affecting the mixture's effectiveness. Overall, it's essential to be cautious when using DIY hair removal methods and to research before trying new treatments. It's always a good idea to consult a professional or use a tested and proven method for safe and effective hair removal.

    1. Author Joanne A on March 8, 2023 at 5:39 pm

      If the baking powder hair removal method did not work for you, it is possible that you did not apply the paste correctly or that your hair is too thick or coarse for the technique to be effective. Additionally, some people may be sensitive to baking powder, which can cause irritation or an allergic reaction. In any case, it is always a good idea to do a patch test on a small skin area before trying any new hair removal method. If you experience discomfort or adverse reactions, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
