- In my case, the hairs are quite popular and *very* fast growing,
- but there are conspicuous bald patches (lord knows why). So I
- shave (plus, I'm young, and peoplemy age do not wear beards).
-
- But because they grow so fast, I get fuzz/stubble before the
- morning isover, and by late afternoon I need to shave--again.
-
- So, I too am interested in a permanent (or long term) facial
- hair removal system--pain doesn't much matter, because, hell,
- how long could it take?
-
- I've been warned off waxing, epilady and that weird caramel-looking
- stuffthey advertise on TV because people have told me that it would
- cause a lot of ingrown hairs. Plus, I've been told that the chemical
- removers (nair, etc) are *much* too strong for facial use.
-
- Anyone have any ideas? My hair is also *very* thick.
-
- Stiff, too. Stiff and thick. Thick enough,
- in fact, that it is worse than sandpaper by the end ofthe day, and
- when rubbed the wrong way pushes in such a way that it's painful
- (to the skin with the whiskers growingoutof it...)
