Done with a blade or electric razor. Hair grows back faster than with waxing, because it is taken off right at skin level, rather than by the roots. Also, the razor blunt-cuts the hair, so that all the hairs growing back at the same rate, at their adult thickness, may SEEM to be thicker and darker. This is an illusion. With waxing, a new hair has to grow, and it starts out with a soft tip which you may not notice until it is sun-bleached, and many of the hairs around it may not grow back for some time. Shaving does not affect the growth of the hair one way or another.
