I do NOT recommend that women shave facial areas unless they want that Fred Flintstone, five o'clock shadow look. In the majority of cases the hair will become very coarse, tough and wiry.
Some women have a problem when shaving their legs and bikini lines .
If you are in this unfortunate category, for starters I recommend you stop using a man's razor. Also, use a good shaving gel or cream. Shaving usually gets the best results on skin that has soaked in hot water . . . If a ten minute shower is all you have time for, then shave at the end of it, so the hair will have softened to some degree. Try to avoid those electric shavers that have rotary blades, however, for they have a tendency to distort the hair follicles which usually results in many little ingrown hairs.
