The idea that hair would return THICKER after shaving or removal is a fairy story.
Medical nonsense!. You won't get MORE or LESS hair either.
After using a RAZOR however the new hair will appear somewhat harder the first 2 weeks only.
For entire shaving and removal of all pubic hair read on!
If your skin tolerates it you can use depilatory creme instead. This 'melts' or 'burn' the hair away. The tops of new hair
will be softer. I called it 'burning'. Not without a reason! The creme destroys HAIR, but can also effect NAILS, and the first SKIN layers!
Read the instructions carefully. My personal experience (GWM, 37) is: take a BATH before, clean with soft soap, and desinfect with some mild creme BEFORE.
Don't wear anything for half an hour. Apply a relatively thick layer of creme the first time. Spray some warm water over the area, when it seems to dry up.
Use a teaspoon and some drops of warm water to try to 'massage' the hair away. At the moment that this works and all hair starts to be released: (after 8-10 minutes, with me)
use a small towel and remove the creme+hair gently under the shower(warm), until the skin is entirely smooth. Wash thoroughly, until you are sure all creme is gone. (Do the removal phase quick, within a minute, don't let creme be on the body any longer than necessary!)
Apply a desinfectant (could be an aftershave or alcohol, but it hurts!). Let the area dry up completely and wear and change a wide BODYSHORT twice a day.
AFter 2 days the skin is restored, but also hair starts to grow. And small red spots appear.
Repeat the entire procedure, use creme.
On the 4th or 5th day start using a razor. Shave every other day. Your skin will get acustomed to this all, and red spots will not appear again after 10/14 days.
If your skin has the right type.....!
When you can't do all of this: never shave again. Just trim short.
