shavigram

A shavigram is a term sometimes used to describe a photograph taken immediately after shaving. The practice involves capturing an image of one's face, often highlighting the smooth, freshly shaved skin. These images are typically shared online, particularly on social media platforms, as a personal update or a form of self-expression. The term itself is a portmanteau of "shave" and "Instagram," indicating its origin and primary platform of use. Shavigrams can range from casual selfies to more stylized portraits, depending on the individual's intent. They are often posted to document a change in appearance, celebrate a grooming routine, or simply as a visual diary entry. While not a widely established or formally recognized photographic genre, the concept of the shavigram reflects a contemporary trend of sharing personal grooming experiences and results through digital media. The focus is generally on the clarity and smoothness of the skin post-shave.
