When is shaving performed?

Shaving is performed during times of consistent hair growth. This is because shaving aims to remove hair, and it is most effective when there is an adequate amount of hair to be cut. Performing shaving when hair growth is present allows for a smoother and more efficient process. It's important for caregivers to ensure that they are addressing any safety and comfort needs of the individual being shaved, ensuring that the procedure is done gently and appropriately.

While some other times, such as during bathing, may seem convenient due to water use and skin softening effects, the primary focus should be on hair growth. This ensures that the procedure is beneficial and efficient. Additionally, performing shaving at times unrelated to hair growth, like before meals, may not be practical as it could lead to discomfort or the risk of nicks and cuts. Applying lotion before shaving could also interfere with the shaving process rather than enhance it, as lotion may create a slippery surface that could make shaving more difficult. Thus, focusing on hair growth aligns directly with the purpose of shaving.
