Body shave or trim?
So I have been shaving my whole body (except the face) for over 4 years now. I have been strict and on top of my skin routine, making sure that the skin is cleaned before and after the shave, using shaving gel, putting on moisturizer, and replacing the blades frequently. However, shaving every 48 hours has become very demanding on my time and my skin. Razer burns, rashes, irritation, and most importantly having to dedicate 30 minutes to an hour every other day.
So 3 days ago I decided to switch to my electric trimmer, I use a Norelco Oneblade and trimmed my whole body. I decided after that to not touch the hair until the end of the week, to give my skin time to heal. I won't lie, it feels like I have bugs crawling under my skin 😭. The feeling of my coarse hair rubbing against my cloths is soo irritating and gross, it's driving me insane.
Now I'm kinda stuck in thinking about what is the best decision, I obviously love the feeling of silky smooth razer cut skin, but the time and money wasted in maintaining that is questionable. Should I bite the bullet and just continue to get used to letting my hair grow? Or perhaps there is another way I can maintain my shaving regiment?
