The bearded lady

Before using Veet on your face, read these Amazon reviews of Veet by men who forgot to read the instructions. www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B000KKNQBK

This has been posted before on the forum, but new members may have missed the fun.

I love this thread! I have just one hair on my chin! It makes up , a bit, for my appalling blue foot, for which there is no remedy! And those of you wondering about your beard when you are old and incapable, ask yourself who would administer the medication, two or three times per week, if you had vaginitis!

Chin chin!

It's a good job I know you of old, Lona or I could be seriously hurt and despondent!

Huh! I wasn't being rude about chins either, I just said you wouldn't want two of them...

Sorry, I thought you were bound to be rude about my two faces!

What now?

I used to use Veet or somesuch on my upper lip but was finding I had to leave it on longer and longer, and my skin took ages to calm down afterwards.

Margsus I've tried it several times and never again! Nearly took my face off the last time.

Shut up Ana!

Ana I can dream can't I?

Yes and ended up with a rash the next day and little result.

Has anyone used hair removing cream on the chin? I bought some the other day but haven't used it yet.

What...? A perfectly reasonable assumption, I'd have thought!

Ana

Not chins, though...

Anya No, not one in each hand, the P&P for one was more than it cost, but if I had two then the postage was free!
I'm a Gemini, I like to have two of lots of things!

Sat drinking coffee with my d.i.l. this morning, resting my chin on my hand, when I suddenly felt a great monstrosity of a hair, it was HUGE,
like a cactus in the dessert! I'm sure it wasn't there when I did my make up earlier. I wonder if d.i.l. noticed it,- she was looking at me oddly......
I agree, whitwave, what happens if we are ill or infirm???
I'll stick with tweezers, I think. Don't like the sound of electricity or threading or sugar-wotsit or wizzits.

whitewave I could not agree more! I had an accident 5 years ago and was blue lighted to A&E, admitted, surgery etc. My only thought was where can I get hold of tweezers or last resort, a razor? It was very difficult because nowadays patients are not shaved pre operatively. I was pleased to get home 11 days later!

I once bought an epilator for my legs, one with an ice cooling attachment. The pain was too much for me, I just couldn't stand it. The Wizzit is only mildly uncomfortable, probably because it only takes a few hairs at a time, having a narrow head.

You are not alone! My friend's mother has Alzheimer's and she says that this once proud woman now has hairs on her chin, hair that she rarely lets anyone touch, furry eyebrows and so on. She is offered help but won't take it. She says obviously her mother no longer cares, but visitors who haven't seen her for a while tend to recoil. I don't like the thought of making my family recoil.

MiL took a photo of me still asleep when DS was only a month old, staying with them in their house in Belgium after 5 hours stuck on the Ring and no sleep during the night with a breast-feeding baby who I couldn't produce milk for as I was so tired. I look older in it than I do now. It was really scary.

This is somewhat pesamistic (sp!) I know, but I do worry a bit about if I get ill and incapable - of growing a beard whilst lying on my sick bed!

Why do you need two? One in each hand?

If you get into the habit of always checking both sites before you order something, you can often save a couple of pounds on one or the other, especially when it comes to postage.

Ana I cancelled my Amazon order for two Wizzits (saving on the postage) and have ordered one from Ebay using your link, and saving some money! Thanks for that

It's the first thing I've ever bought off Ebay!

Aha... Is that what it is.

Jane always exfoliate afterwards especially on your chin. It stop the hair follicle from blocking up and causing a spot.
