I didn't notice any shaving. The only cutting I noticed was during 2 surgery scenes. And the incident mentioned under self-harm with the man superficially cutting his hand when he breaks a glass.

It's not cheating since the husband was the one who actually asked her to have sex with other men

A man breaks a glass and cuts his hand (not particularly graphic, but some blood is shown.) There are multiple scenes of surgery being performed.
