okay, so recently i've begun to shave my stomach.. the problem is even right after i shave hair is still visible below the surface of my skin.. is there anyway to get a closer shave so they aren't visible?? i've tried using a regular razor (which always leaves me w/ many razor bumps), the philips bodygroom, and nair, all to no avail. any advice would be much appreciated.

Do u have coarse dark hair? HOw dense is it?
Usually dark coars hair gives u shadow look soon after shaving.
If that is the case laser would be a good option..

Are you male or female? Sounds like your hair is pretty coarse, so waxing may be the only way to eliminate this problem temporarily. Laser would be the permanent and more expensive option.

Razor bumps can result in ingrown hair, as can waxing. Laser will work for dark hair on fair skin and can greatly thin out dense growth of dark hair. Electrolysis works for all areas and can be used from start to finish, or can be used to clean up what's left behind from laser.

Why not just reduce the length of the hair so it looks natural?
Shaving can cause a lot of skin problems, ingrown hairs, itching, etc.

I have this same problem. It's really embarassing and I am terrified my partner will notice and be grossed out (I am female). I have to shave every day or I get stomach stubble!!! But I don't want to wax, because I heard it makes the hair grow back stronger, and also I am not willing to let it grow out enough to wax it. If the hair is dark enough that you can see the spot under the skin, does that mean it is likely to be affected by laser? Even if it may be somewhat "fine" in texture, but dark?

I would not be quick to do LASER on the abs, but you could try it.

Fine hair doesn't respond well to laser.

Don't try laser. Wax!

I agree with greetings i think waxing would be a great resort
