Shaving dry or wet

Dry shaving is no fun for most people. It makes little difference whether you are male or female. If you shave wet, that makes a big difference. In addition, you get the best result (smooth) and it takes longer for the hairs to come back. Wet shaving is also recommended if you suffer from acne (especially for men who shave their faces).
