The present invention is a process for shaving the skin, in particular the skin of the men's face, using a composition comprising in a cosmetically acceptable medium at least one salicylic acid derivative of formula (I) wherein: r represents a saturated, straight, branched or cyclic aliphatic chain having from 3 to 11 carbon atoms； an unsaturated aliphatic chain having from 3 to 17 carbon atoms having one or more conjugated or non-conjugated double bonds； an aromatic nucleus attached to the carbonyl radical either directly or via saturated or unsaturated aliphatic chains having from 2 to 7 carbon atoms； and said groups r may or may not be substituted by one or more identical or different substituents chosen from halogen atoms, trifluoromethyl group, a free-form hydroxyl group or esterified by an acid having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or then by a carboxyl function, free or esterified by a C1-C6 alcohol； R 'represents a hydroxyl group or an ester function of formula (ii) wherein R 1 represents an aliphatic chain of 1 to 18 straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated carbon atoms and / or one of its salts. The present invention also relates to the use of at least one salicylic acid derivative of formula (I) in a cosmetic shaving composition for the purpose of facilitating hair scraping. The present invention further relates to the use of at least one salicylic acid derivative of formula (I) in a cosmetic shaving composition for the purpose of reducing and even eliminating ingrown hairs during shaving.a presente invenção trata de um processo para barbear a pele, em particular a pele do rosto dos homens, que utiliza uma composição que compreende em um meio cosmeticamente aceitável pelo menos um derivado do ácido salicílico de fórmula (i) na qual: r representa uma cadeia alifática saturada, linear, ramificada ou cíclica que possui de 3 a 11 átomos de carbono； uma cadeia alifática insaturada que possui de 3 a 17 átomos de carbono que apresenta uma ou mais ligações duplas
