Any alternatives to using a shaver to remove facial hair?

[etalns]

I have a very hard time with shavers because it irritates my skin, I was wondering if anyone knew of any hair removal creams etc I could use rather than shaving, my skinf eels awful for days after shaving.

Tweezers or ducktape...






veet is actually supposed to work well.

Hah - hair removal cremes will only be worse for you. They'll make your skin bleed.

that's pleasent. ok, so are electric shavers better or worse than traditional razors (eg mach3)?

they're fine if you let your skin get used to it. It's a bit uncomfortable at first, but after a few weeks you'll never want to go back.

You could try HCL or perhaps a pneumatic orbital sander with say 800 grit sandpaper.

Boiled weener. <-- Never understood this one but heard it many years ago and never forgot it.
Rub some milk on your face and let the cat lick it off.

I prefer a blade to shave with. I tend to let it go for a week and with an electric I would have to trim it down first then to the skin. This way, one shot, RIGHT OFF!
