"It will grow back thicker. I wouldn't do it unless you want to do it like twice a week for the rest of your life. "
This is absolutly false. (Look at my source for proof)
Also it is fine to remove it with a razor just be careful because if you have one slip it isn't going to be very fun.

If you are just looking for a quick fix it is okay to shave. Waxing will be better in the long run because you don't have to worry about stubble. I shave a little area on my tummy every once in a while and it grows back the same as it always has with no problems. Waxing would make it smoother, though. Plucking will work well too, if possible.

You can't shave and THEN use wax. Wax needs at least a quarter of an inch of hair to even work. You can shave it...but I wouldn't recommend it. When you've been shaving an area repeatedly for so long, the hair starts growing back BLACK. My legs used to have fine blonde hairs, now they're black and ugly looking. I wouldn't want the same thing to happen to my stomach. I suggest a bleaching product to make the hair look lighter. Or you could try Nair. But don't shave your stomach.

Why do that just get it waxed unless you really want to remove the hair with a razor.

That is fine. But realize that it will grow back darker if you shave it, and darker and thicker if you wax it. This cycle will never stop. electrolysis will get rid of it permanently, but seems painful and is expensive. Do you have the money to take care of waxing or elect. Or do you have the time and the patience to always shave/wax. Also, if you always shave it, it will eventually leave little black stubble marks on the top of the skin. This is speaking from experience. Good luck!

Use wax, using a razor is much faster anf easiler less painful. The wax is better the hair takes longer to grow out and it wont grow as thick.

Using a razor will make the hair come back more and more coarse. I would either pluck them with a razor or use the wax!

Shave anything you want. But shaved hair needs to be like 1/8 or 1/4 long to be waxed.
Might be better off waxing or using Nair.
Careful with nair, though. I get chemical burns from it.

yes, you can use a razor to shave stomach hair as long as you use a good moisturizing shave cream. You can shave any area of the human body this way without any problems.

well if the hair on your belly is really thick, then yes you probably should shave it or just get it waxed. Either one will work , but if it was me i would just wax it and keep doing that, but you have to keep in mind that when you wax or shave your hair anywhere on your body it will grow back thicker.

yes but keep in mind anything that is removed with a razor comes back with a fullier appearance
