From what I understand is that before the advent of the cheap disposable razor there used to be the art of "honing" your blades which were actually smoother for shaving, -just took more time is all. I think you'd get the blade as sharp as you could with a very fine stone or electrical line insulator and then even sharper yet with a cow hide felt or something like that. Basically you'd end up with the sharpest of scalpels.
Other than that I had once considered getting laser hair removal myself since I do have black hairs with a light mediterranean complexion.

I too like the idea. Don't know what I hate more - facial hair on myself, or shaving.

JeanYes, I dislike facial hair more. Once tried to wax it
. Results were... mixed. Chin and all - hair removed cleanly. Upper lip - removed only partly, and I ended up looking like Whinnie the Pooh, after encounter with bees (lip was puffy for about a day...).

It is very easy to end up with ingrown hairs from plucking (epilating) hairs on the face or neck and also VERY painfull. With the sucky economy, I have seen many of the clinics offering really good deals on laser hair removal. Just do your research and find out what kind of laser will work best for your skin type and what the different clinics use.
Many will let you try a small area for free to see how it works for you. Also, it will take 3-6 sessions to achieve permanant results so ask about guarantees with free folowups after you pay for X amount of treatments.
I too hate facial hair but aften have stubble just because I hate to shave. I'd prefer no body hair at all but every body hair removal method I have tried was either very irritating or caused ingrown hair or both.

Thanks Ramses. At last something serious. In fact, I couldn't shave before because of skin problems, and yes ingrowing hair. Androcur made a change to a lot of skin problems. Nice to hear that they might have one a free test.
Maybe I can ask for discount if we find at least a dozen of us. I get the feeling that there might be more then a dozen who hate to go around like sanding paper.

I tried depilatory cream this morning after a fresh shaving. I warn you, that bites. But it felt smooth as baby Jesus bottom. Going shopping I got the feeling that it must have turned red, but lucky it was only a feeling. Coming down with some stone tables, I noticed that I stayed out to long....I could feel them rasping again.
I have to agree: Whinnie the Pooh sounds a lot better, I am going to buy some and study them

If creams like Nair and Epilstop actually worked (think about it) would there still be a market for razors, both electric or manual?
