Ever use hair remover?
I was getting really shaggy, especially around my shoulders.

So I bought some hair remover, and used it today.

No problems, but it feels weird.

2. Yeah, bought some "Nair" for men.
It does work good, but is sort of expensive and like I said, now the areas "cleaned up" feel funny.

3. I've seen that and always wondered who might use it.
I did shave my chest a year ago so my doctor could get a good view of a mole that I thought was iffy. Despite what Kramer said on Seinfeld it grew back exactly the same.

4. I like it.
I'm saving up for a more permanent solution. Any idea what full-body electrolysis goes for? It ain't cheap.

16. laser hair removal is much better than electrolysis
and much cheaper. Electrolysis is really only for very small areas with only a few hairs or for very fine hairs (like forearm hair) and can be quite painful. laser hair removal, though it requires several treatments, permanently removes hair from large areas, it's much cheaper, much faster, hardly painful at all except for maybe a very slight hot or burning sensation and provides much better results.

6. At least this female says....thank you. Too much hair in
the wrong areas is gross. And I hope that weird feeling is just from not having hair there, and not an allergy to the product. Yikes.

11. You are so screwed
My wife gave in to pressure from my family to nair my back.

Doing was ok. Wierd, but whatever. My wife touching me, albeit with gloves and odd chemicals, I can live with.

The itching started soon after as the firmly rooted hair started growing back. And the ingrown hairs. And the torture. Plus she ended up not liking how it looked anyway.

Hope you have better luck. That was a week+ of hell for me. Some of us have hair with a mind of its own, and a will to thrive.

13. have it permanently lasored off
It's far cheaper in the long run and actually not very expensive at all in the short run. Permanent removal means never continually buying removal products and never having to deal with stubble, skin irritation, ingrown hairs, etc. ever again. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.

One of my brothers had his shoulders and that little patch of hairs in the middle of the lower back done years ago and still raves about it.

15. Yeah - I call it "tequila".
It at least removes nose hair.
