First off, if you're planning on complaining like a little 2-year-old who hasn't grown up to adult life yet, and telling me stuff like I shouldn't be shaving places because I'm a guy, save it for someone who cares...which is no one.
Now, on to the question. I know that technically shaving doesn't make hair grow back darker/thicker ect..., that it only appears that way because the roots are more lively than what you shaved off. I also know that when you shave in certain places, you can risk getting red bumps all over (I know that happens to me), and it's all-together not a good idea to shave a certain area frequently (I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but it's all I can call up right now).
How does hair removal cream or bladeless shaving differ from actual shaving? What are the results?

its a lot better. it makes your skin softer and you dont risk cutting youself and those red bumps. you just have to make sure you leave it on long enough to dissolve it. BUT, it is not advised for the genital area if thats what you are thinking. the results from that could be worse than little red bumps! they sell a product for women (but i am sure it can be used for men) that prevents the bumps and itch before you shave. its usually by the shaving creams or the hair removal cream. good luck!

Depending on what you're wanting to shave you can use products like Nair (hair removal cream) or waxing strips.
The thing is, everybody is different and different products can potentially cause different reactions with everybody....For example: I can use Nair (regular kind) and have no reaction but if I use the baby oil type Nair I'll get a reaction so I just ended up throwing that one out.
Some people are more sensitive to chemicals than others.
As for how they differ from actually shaving:
Shaving:
hair will start to grow back in 2-3 days, you could get red bumps, you risk nicking yourself with the blades, you have to either buy disposable razors or refill blades which can cost anywhere from $5-20.
Hair Removal Creams: hair generally starts to grow back after 3-4 days, sometimes as long as a week if you're lucky, you could end up with a skin reaction due to chemicals, it can be messy and you have to time the product.
Waxing: it could potentially cause a skin irritation, depending on if you get a home kit or get it done professionally it could be expensive, I've been told (never gone this route myself) that it can last up to 3 weeks before you see hair growth again, it can hurt as you're ripping the hair follicles out of your skin, and it can potentially burn you.
Hope this helps =)

I don't have any idea. Sorry I can't be of any help but
my only experience is shaving with a razor that has a blade.
I think the hair removal cream stinks (I tried it in high school).

use an electric shaver and if your going to let a kid pretendof shaveing then don,t pug it in i feel electric is better the a blade.
