My latest purchase is <drumroll>.... .......

Callistemon

Why?

Because I formed an opinion on the replies I read.

Why?

FlyingHandbag
I think that is part of the problem, doing things in a rush instead of taking time for ourselves.

I find I'm always putting on nail varnish at the last minute and hoping it will dry and not smudge before I get to my destination.

Not that I'm going anywhere at the moment.

Comments seem a bit mean to me makes me reluctant to post anything

I agree.

Why?

I did pluck my legs (using eyebrow tweezers) one day during lockdown when I was a bit bored. Quite a good result. Just think the threading looks nifty when those Indian girls do it.

nifty
Nifty?

Not the word I would use GrannyLaine!!

45 minutes and not one hair removed by yours truly.
It's back to the vintage Phillips razor for me.

I'm another who has never needed to shave my legs - not a hair to be seen on them.

Since the menopause though, my face needs constant attention if I'm not to turn into the bearded lady. Mind you, if I need a new career in the future, there might be a potential opening for me there ... ?

You can borrow my scythe Chewbacca if you like?
Just done mine for the summer .

The state of my legs since lockdown, I'd need a lawnmower to get them hairless.

I don’t think they are mean in fact I think there are some really amusing posts

Callistemon my DIL has taught herself to do threading on eyebrows and I think upper lip......

The thought of tweezering leg hair makes me squirm

I agree.

You post whatever you want to, confusedagain.

It's just good natured banter (I think!)

Flyinghandbag - Definitely!

This threading business is tedious.

I give up. 10 minutes and not a single hair removed.

I remember my mum rubbing a grey sandpaper thing on her legs to remove the hair.
I shave my legs only below the knee down and have the scars to prove it.

Do you mean SilkyMitts? X

How is that supposed to work then? I haven't managed to pull out one.

I'm going to have a go right now

Wish I could draw. Love to do a cartoon of you threading away as pages from the calendar flicked over.....

That would be hilarious. X

What!
You mean legs, GrannyLaine?

I'd be there for weeks.

Calli really now even less!

I feel for your poor Mother Flying as I imagine her crawling on the bathroom floor checking the backs of your legs for rogue hairs.?

I did it dry in my room, so she just crouched down. X

I found as I got older my legs rarely need shaving, and my eyebrows have also stared to disappear so this is a much bigger problem for me as they are pepper and salt, but heavy on the salt. I have yet to find an eyebrow pencil that looks natural, blonde, grey, hazel, light brown, I’ve tried them all.

Try having your eyebrows tinted. X
