Do you shave or wax?

I’m a firm believer in shaving. Except when it comes to facial hair removal. They are the only thing I wax. Why? Simply put I am a wimp. I know how much it hurts for those 5 seconds it pains me to get my eyebrows so I can’t even imagine waxing my woo-ha. The girls that get this done have my complete and utter admiration! You should have statues in your honor! (Well technically all women should since we must suffer from PMS, Childbirth, and other such ailments.)

I have used hair removal cream like Veet, but I still have to shave to make sure I get every hair. Now they even have those hair removal wax strips, but like I said I’m a wuss. So with conferences and trips coming up I must get your help! What is easiest and what do you recommend? Remember I like as little pain as possible.

    I get my face lasered (not pain-free), but I have to shave in between. Not allowed to tweeze or wax. There is that smooth away that works, just don’t rub too hard!

    I use a combination of shaving & sugaring. Sugaring is kind of a waxing hair removal method that hurts a lot less than regular waxing. You can make & do it yourself at home VERY cheap with just lemon juice, sugar, and water. Check into it if you’re interested! I’m really happy I found that method & am shocked that not more people know about it.

    I shave my legs and other regions ;) No real advice other than that!

    I shave everything except facial hair, that I wax off on my own :-) Which usually means I am missing part of an eyebrow! OOPS!

    I am sooo the wrong woman to talk to about waxing and shaving. If I mentioned how long it has been since I shave my legs you’d die. But in my defense, it’s winter and I’m pressed for time and space. I’ve always got someone in the stinkin bath tub with me.

    I hate having anything waxed. It leaves me with red, puffy skin and the one and only time I got a bikini wax, it looked as if someone had taken a baseball bat to my nether regions – seriously black and blue for days!

    I shave my legs, I use hair removal cream for my bikini area and I have my eyebrows threaded. Aside from wax, I’m an equal opportunity deforester.

    I shave, and get my eyebrows waxed. I agree with you, I could never, ever get THAT shaved. :)

    I wax and pluck my eyebrows. It’s really not painful for me, so I’d recomend it. Everything else gets the Sally Hansen bleach/removal kit. There’s no way a razor is getting anywhere near my face! :)

    I shave my legs. I have been wanting to try Nair. There is supposed to be a new kind that smells good. When I have used nair in the past it stunk! I wax my upper lip.
