Hair removal

[Sensible Shoes]

This is a very serious subject, cause doing it wrong can lead to bruising and infection.

Do you prefer shaving, waxing, tweezing or depilitories? And then please discuss what body parts to use which type of hair removal on.

I personally hate when you use wax on your pubes and they pull it out and all those gross roots with transparent goop on them can be seen on the fabric strips. I always make sure they let me see them too.

I think girls go too nuts with it, but this is well-documented.

I have never tried threading.

I have hair on the edges of my ear lobes. Started in my mid 20's as a very fine hair and they were easy to just grasp & yank em out without any pain. Now when I shave the face I give a quick swipe to the edge of each lobe. But they are stubbly. I'd love to wax them but the skin is so tender there that I'm afraid a ton of earlobe would yank off with the hairs. (hairs are much more sturdy now then they were 15+ years ago. Roots like an oak tree!)

But the hair that bothers me the most is nostril hairs. I bought a shaver thing once and it was awful. It left clippings inside the nostril and also left a sharp stubble in the nose that hurt & poked anytime I touched my nose. So now I use tweezers to grasp & yank any long ones I can see dangling. It stings for an instance but gets them out good. Nothing worse than a long rebel nose hair tickling your brain all day.

As for eyebrow hairs, I use my finger to brush my eyebrow against the grain. Then any humongous long hair I see sticking out in some weird direction gets the yank.

I shave my pubes. I pick my eyebrows. When it comes to legs I sometimes shave sometimes use a cream. You know the cream that you spray on, wait for 3 minutes and then just wash it off and the hair is gone. Shave my armpits.

I got pissed when they wanted to shave a spot on my chest to hook up an EKG.

Man...we are on a fucking tear with the personal hygiene threads lately!!!

When will you start the "anal bleaching" thread?

[Sensible Shoes]

GREAT idea!!!!!

[PETE'S BROTHER]

how many hairs do you shave each time?

[Sensible Shoes]

I can't answer that, it's too incriminating.

Winterbush?

Ha ha. Never heard of that before.

I've seen it done; a bunch of my co-workers are into it. It's kind of an art form the way they do it. What I can't STAND are the girls that shave their eyebrows off and draw them back on...it looks simultaneously hideous and ridiculous.

Upper back needs a scrape every now'n'then...

Crotch is a given. More play on the fairway, when there's no shrubbery in the way.

Manscaping is usually appreciated. Like an ex gf once said "I spend time on it so YOU will..." (and I did...)
