Specialty Definition: Shaving

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Shaving is the practice of removing body hair using a razor.

Shaving is a common method of depilation, and is most commonly used by men to shave their facial hair, and by women to shave their leg hair.

It began before history, with early man removing hair from himself using two sea shells to pull the hair out. Later, about 3000 BCE, when man developed copper tools, man developed copper razors. The idea of an aesthetic approach to personal hygiene may have begun at this time, though Egyptian priests may have practiced something similar to this earlier.

Shaving became very popular when Alexander the Great made shaving popular. He was fastidious about shaving.

The "fad" ended with Emperor Hadrian, who let a beard grow to hide a skin disorder.

Some hold the belief that, once shaving commences, the hair will grow out more thickly. However, this is a myth. The resulting stubble only makes the hairs seem to be thicker.

Shaving can be done with an electric razor or a regular, manual one. If a non-electric razor is used, some lathering agent such as soap or a special "shaving cream" or foam is normally be applied to the area to be shaved first, to avoid a painful razor burn.

Antsu, Pápruka Muisais akupkamia Tímianak Túrawai, turamartatui.
SpanishToma contigo a estos hombres, purifícate con ellos, paga por ellos para que se rapen sus cabezas, y todos sabrán que no hay nada de lo que se les ha informado acerca de ti, sino que tú también sigues guardando la ley.
SwahiliJiunge nao katika ibada ya kujitakasa, ukalipe na gharama zinazohusika, kisha wanyolewe nywele zao. Hivyo watu wote watatambua kwamba habari zile walizoambiwa juu yako hazina msingi wowote, na kwamba wewe binafsi bado unaishi kufuatana na maagizo ya Sheria za Mose.
SwedishTag med dig dessa, och låt helga dig tillsammans med dem, och åtag dig omkostnaderna för dem, så att de kunna låta raka sina huvuden. Då skola alla förstå att intet av allt det som har blivit dem sagt om dig äger någon grund, utan att också du vandrar efter lagen och håller den.
UmaJadi', iko wo'o-kowo, hilou-ko dohe-ra hi Tomi Alata'ala mpobabehi ada agama pompobohoi' woto, pai' iko mpobayari oli porewua pepue' -ra, bona ma'ala-ra mposongki' wuluwoo' -ra ntuku' ada-ta. Ane hewa toe-damo, monoto-mi hi hawe'ea tauna ka'uma-na-hawo makono kareba to ra'epe mpotuntui' -ko. Apa' nutuku' wo'o-kowo Atura Musa.
