Just sitting here stroking my beard and thinking about some serious tweezing and found this thread! Normally tweeze stray hairs every morning,but I’ve let them get out of control.

Not a problem, quick look in the mirror every day, locate and pluck.
I wouldn't shave, would end up looking like desperate Dan grin

I have up trying to find the perfect device to get rid, and went for the traditional method. (Shaved the buggers)

I use hair remover.

I use JML Flawless. Easy and no pain. One for eyebrows too.

Burn 'em off. Tie your hair back. Get a lighter and swiftly and carefully waft the lighter over the hair. It gets rid of all the very fine hair and you can pluck any spikey ones.

Works well on neck and chin. I can't manage it on my top lip so I wax that.

Eastern countries use the 'burn it off' approach. I guess darker skin, darker more obvious facial hair.

Sugaring is the best method for getting rid of facial hair, I find; less harsh than waxing.

I have a new job selling Fish Fingers as Captain Birdseye.

I use tweezers and or wax strips on my chin, but had to resort to Veet for my upper lip blush

It's the eyebrows that are real pain, glasses on, identify hairs that need removing, glasses off, pluck, repeat.

Oh, I'm sure they're not that bad, Serendipity. It's a problem that many of us share.
It's the spiky ones which I dislike the most but at least they're easy to grab with the tweezers.

Ok, picture the scene, the sun was shinning on the mirror as I was applying my make up this a.m and I see that I have more facial hair than the whole cast of Planet of The Apes.... angry
