Use Sharp Blade Only

Change your blade often. Do not shave your hair with blunt or unsharpened blade because cutting with blunt blade make the hear root thick. Try to take a new blade for every two shaves. When you shave with a very sharp blade, it gives you a smooth finish and the hair root remains thin.

Instead of manual razor, switch on to electric razor because electric razor gives you comparatively a cleaner shave and it removes hair from the very deep of its root. Naturally the hair will take longer time to grow and come out of the skin.

Waxing is Better

Waxing is one of the best ways to remain with soft and silky skin for a long time. Waxing removes hair from very deep and the hair takes longer time to come out of the skin.
