Speaking of the razor, when we were stationed in Arkansas a girl I worked with showed me one. So, I wen't to walmart and bought one and tried to use it:eek: Besides my eyebrows looking like something a clown would wear, I ended up with all these cuts on my eyebrows that would sting like the ****ens when I washed my face. It looked my cat had gotten ahold of me. Needless to say, I never used it again.:rolleyes:
oh, the horror stories! I too have the long curly brand of eyebrow, so I backcomb them and trim the excess with scissors. I pluck real careful to turn naturally lopsided catapillar-esque eyebrows into symmetrical archy ones.
I wax on occasion (upper lip as well), but I can get reaaaaally red and blotchy for a few days afterward, so it's kind of like russian roulette.
everything else I shave. usually leave a landing strip at the airport though just 'cause the regrowth tends to prick. Bikini Zone does wonders eliminating irritation--just wish it didn't have such a strong smell/taste to it! otherwise I'd use it on newly plucked eyebrows as well.
I'll probably head out for an eyebrow wax and a brazillian soon now that I can't use my dominant hand to shave/pluck (broken clavicle). I don't want a) bald spots on my brows or b) a razor massacre at my airport!
and I don't remove hair for anyone but me. I was shaving years before I ever had an intimate encounter. Sure, DSOs have appreciated it in the past, but I just like having nicely manicured grounds for me to enjoy! Like wearing nice underwear or getting tattoos or piercings where no one can normally see them --YOU know they're there and that's all that matters.
I use to get my fax waxed! Now I just stick to trimming and plucking! I have pretty good eyebrows, so I guess I lucked out! I do shave the rest of my body head to toe....feet...arms...fingers everything! I have blonde peach fuzz every where I hate it! If I could afford too, I might get my body waxed! Im obsessed!:rolleyes:
Bella, do it sometime! Oh my gosh, it is amazing. Even though shaving works, waxing makes things (like arms) SO smooth! It's a vice with me and quite often I can't afford it but it is wonderful when I can.
hmm now that you mention it...Mothers Day is approaching...hmm? Do I hear a wax and spa visit from my fiance? Hehehe! :pQuote:

I haven't had the time lately. DH doesn't care either, he just wants me to be happy with whatever I do. It's nice for when I'm slothful and don't shave my legs until I have to! I haven't decided that being natural is right for me though boy it could cut down on shaving time :D
RR, With this post, you have officially won both my respect and total agreement.Quote:

It's nice to have piercings where no one can normally see them 'for yourself' but it does actually make it harder to retire them when 'it's time'. There was a steel structural disaster at the airport this morning on the way in to work. Things may need renovations and retirement. :eek: :(
Lisa- To each her own... where do you find time to wrap/twine/shellac your handlebars? "Your body may be a temple, but mine is an amusement park!" my manicured grounds are a courtesy to park-goers, assuming they return in kind. :D
Well, I wouldn't wrap/twine/shellac my handelbars every month, that's for sure! :cool:Quote:

(all this "landing strip" talk has me envisioning skid marks on asphalt!) :eek: :eek:
...I think skidmarks are to be avoided. :p
Routines are routines. I can't imagine shaving *everything* but I shave my armpits and airport, and legs, too. It's like brushing and flossing... just becomes rote and depends on one's own personal perceptions of beauty. all-gone strikes me as prepubescent, but I've been known to 'go there' if there's a landing strip disaster and it needs to be repaved :eek: or if the groundskeeper prefers an upside down triangle (har har) I do it for myself, but honestly... to keep things clean like that prevents friction burns of all sorts and shedding hairs in an unbecoming and- ahem- inopportune, unromantic way.
Yes. I am highly opinionated...
No, I don't dye things down there anymore. see? I can give up *some* of the unnecessary preening!
Kitsune, you might want to also try Tend Skin, google it. It's a great solution, although it does have a little weird smell but nothing that bad. Don't know about taste, never tried to drink it :rolleyes: It gets rid of all ingrown hair and all bumps and heals cuts. I tried both bikini zon and tend skin and tend skin wins. I don't advertise for this product so that you know :D just happened to use it.

I cut those puppies right off. Besides, they tickle and itch and make me rub at my nose constantly.
Hey, well look on the bright side- at least you don't have ear hairs that grow out of one ear, curl across your face, and enter the OTHER ear! :eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :DQuote:

Has anyone tried laser hair removal?
If you pull it really fast it doesn't hurt so much.
I took care of my left eyebrow Sunday when I was on my riding lawnmower and tried to mow under my oak tree with the low limbs. One snapped back. I don't have to worry about waxing under that brow until it heals, and I have a natural eyeliner and shadow that perfectly matches Bare Escentuals Opera. Of course the color extends under my eye too.
When I don't have a "black eye" I wax my brows at the salon. Something so great about just laying back and letting someone else do it...but, I barely feel it, either. If it hurt, I would probably find another way.
I'm currently having my pits and bikini line lasered. I'm about halfway through the treatments and I like it a lot. A little pricey but I was able to get a half off deal at christmas time. I don't think it hurts to bad, and it only takes a minute to do each pit and slightly longer for the bikini line.Quote:

I tried electrolysis several years ago. It hurts and left a small scar on my lip which took years to fade.
They told me it would take 6 treatments for the Laser Hair Removal. I didn't see much progress after the first treatment. I hope it improves.
