We’re never more conscious about body hair than during the summer months filled with vacations at the beach, dates on the patio, and family barbeques.

Shaving is the most popular method of hair removal and perfect for those on the go – inexpensive, painless, and quick.  If you're not married to your razor, try one of these top-rated shavers on ChickAdvisor:

We love how moisturized our legs feel with the Gillette Venus Embrace razor. The comfy gel handle also makes shaving a breeze.

We use the waterproof Schick Quattro For Women Trimstyle Razor & Bikini Trimmer in the shower to achieve professional looking results.

The Bic Soleil Bella is our favourite disposable razor because we can reach every part of our body with the pivoting head.

Shaving Tips

1. Always use shaving cream for the closest shave and to avoid nicks.  Out of shaving cream?  Use hair conditioner or a creamy body wash.

2. Replace your razor head twice monthly or more for the best shave.

3. Exfoliate often to avoid ingrown hairs.  They occur when the shaft breaks off at a sharp tip and curls back under the skin causing swelling and irritation.  Exfoliating regularly with a body scrub, loofah, or exfoliating gloves will release the hairs stuck underneath. 

Quick Fix

The obvious downside to shaving is that stubble will be noticeable within 1-2 days.  To minimize hair regrowth in your underarm area, try Dove Ultimate Supreme VisiblySmooth Anti-Perspirant to feel stubble free for longer.
