Hi
What do you use to get rid of it and how often?
Cheers me dears :-)

I just take my glasses off, then I can't see my rather splendid beard and sideburns.
Strangely enough, no moustache.

A sheet of wet n dry, gauge 000 does it for me.

People say to bleach facial fuzz, but I'm worried i'll look like Tom Jones if I do.

I use a facial epilator for my rather splendid moustache, I smear on a small amount of tee tree gel, then epilate, say it quickly and it doesn’t hurt, then smear again with tee tree gel, redness goes very quickly, within minutes. The rest of my face is covered with a fine blonde down, occasionally interspersed with the odd quickly tweezered whisker.

Do the epilator hurt?
Does it discourage growth after a while?
Hope you don't mind me asking.

Ladygracie how often do u do this ?Thank you

LadyGracie Wed 02-Jan-19 21:18:20

No, I don’t mind you asking.
The epilator does hurt when you first start yes, but I feel it’s worth it as it does discourage future growth, much as the leg epilator does.

LadyGracie Wed 02-Jan-19 21:21:09

I do it a maximum once a month, in fact I moved house seven weeks ago and only found my epilator yesterday and it wasn’t bad at all.

I posted before about the battery operated threading gadget that I got for Christmas (several people had said that threading was the best method, but sadly no practitioners in our local area), hence requesting the gizmo!

Have to admit, still haven't actually used it yet blush

I use a little battery operated shaver for my moustache and the peach fuzz. Tweezers for the chin whiskers. I had to buy a new magnifying mirror recently as I knocked my old one off the cupboard and it shattered.

Eyes watering at the thought. Doesn't anyone get barbers rash ?

phoenix I am pleased I live where I do because I get my eyebrows threaded regularly. It hurts too much on other parts.

Amazon sell cheap lilibeth blades ( not razors) gets rid of peach fuzz in a nano second

Our hairdresser does a facial that basically uses a surgical blade to remove it. Don't fancy it myself, but it is a well known procedure.

EV I don't know about others but I've never had razor rash. I use a cheap disposable razor on my upper lip and tweezers on any random chin hairs.

Same as ninathenana but gone upmarket with a Venus with swivel head for my whole lower face. If I don't remove the peach fuzz I look like Father Christmas when it bleaches in the summer sun! I don't understand why the razor doesn't cut the chin bristles, so they need plucking.
While we are on the subject of unwanted hair, has anyone else got short and curlies around the nipples? I used to pluck them but now I can't see them without glasses and have no partner I don't bother.
