You can do it very carefully, sort of use your tongue to push out the area when you are shaving. I've done this in between laser (because you can only shave, not tweeze, if you laser).

It will grow back right away and will be stubly hairs at first. It won’t look nice.
I bought wax strips from amazon and do it myself now. It’s strips with wax(like a bandaid) and wax myself.
Or use a tweezer to pull out each hair separately from the root. If you shave, and he hairs are not being removed from the root and when it grows back a few days later it will look terrible.

Oh gosh, don’t. You’ll end up with terrible stubble and will have to be a slave to shaving it over and over.

Never understood why ppl claim shaving before laser is necessary. It just makes everything grow back even faster. The ppl who KNOW how to do laser never say to shave. It all falls off under the laser machine on its own.

And yes don’t shave it’ll be all hard and bumpy
Just get a waxing kit

Shaving doesn't make hair grow back faster. Its removing hair at the surface; how could it affect follicles and growth rate?

I still recommend waxing. Use the pre-waxed strips, or buy a wax melter. I like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod.....psc=1 but there are tons out there.

I've done laser treatments at a couple of different salons and they all said to shave before. It does not make the hair grow back faster, especially when doing laser. My treatments were always very effective.

I use a ear/nose trimmer thats 10 bucks and battery operated.
I use it once in about 2 weeks for years already.
