    Glossary Shaving

    process of removing hair using a razor or blade

    Shaving is the process of removing hair from the surface of the skin using a razor or other bladed implement. It is commonly performed on areas such as the face, legs, and underarms for cosmetic or hygienic reasons. Shaving cuts the hair at the skin level, which can lead to a temporary smooth appearance but does not affect the hair follicle or growth rate.
