Frank Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Haha, it really isn't. It looks messy, and it looks quite ugly in my opinion. I don't think women/men are usually that keen on it either. I think my groin was quite hurt with it being called ugly.
Nolan Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 I think my groin was quite hurt with it being called ugly. Let me put it this way. Have you seen Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay? If so, do you remember the bottomless party they go to? At the end of the scene their buddy stands up to show that he's participating....it's a rather revolting sight of a tangled messy mass of short and curlys. Like what one might pull out of a clogged drain.
Rummy Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 Shaving is a paaaaain. I usually just leave the chin and moustache area alone, and have to sort of do my cheeks/growover from my sideburns. I'm convinced my facial hair is incredibly weird in the way it grows. Having said that, I trimmed the beard and the curly round bits of the moustache the other day, the apt term someone used of hand-eye-mirror-co-ordination was a very good one, it's hard to scissor in the mirror! As for my method, it's usually a bit of water and foam, or no foam if I don't have/being quick, and a cheap two blade razor from somewhere, does me fairly fine. I trim the downstairs bit from time to time, but otherwise all the other hair on my body is left untouched!
jayseven Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) I pluck long nose-hairs occasionally. I dread the day when my nose looks like it has a broom stuck up it... Oh, and by pluck I mean with my BARE HANDS, all manly n' stuff. Ahem. Edited August 3, 2010 by jayseven Automerged Doubleghost
Mr_Odwin Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 My wife epilates. Sometimes it makes her bleed. She sits on the floor grimacing while running the device of pain all over legs and armpits. I can't watch or think about it.

chairdriver Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Went with my friend Kat today for a wax. Not as painful as I expected.
Dan_Dare Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Today I decided to grow a winter beard. Yup.
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Went with my friend Kat today for a wax. Not as painful as I expected. Where did you get waxed, out of interest? Also, are you/were you mega hairy beforehand? Or did you have these small, tiny, thin hairs?
Daft Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Went with my friend Kat today for a wax. Not as painful as I expected. Did you finally wax that monobrow of yours?
Ashley Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I may participate in this Mowvember thing or whatever its called. Out of generosity rather than laziness of course.
chairdriver Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Where did you get waxed, out of interest? "Male intimate area" (as its marketed ) which basically consists of the pelvic region / the front (minus actual cock/balls). Also, are you/were you mega hairy beforehand? Or did you have these small, tiny, thin hairs? I have quite dark, coarse hair. Not particularly hairy, but enough to kinda be like "CBA shaving, and would prefer to be less hairy and want to see what it's like".
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Awesome. You are a brave man. Was it your first time?
chairdriver Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Awesome. You are a brave man. Was it your first time? Yeah. It was surprisingly unawkward too. The woman was supremely business-like.
Retro_Link Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) I thought it was advisable to only shave those areas (and not a wet shave) and not wax because of the extreme itchyness that soon follows?! Edited November 5, 2010 by Retro_Link
Eenuh Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I thought it was advisable to only shave those areas (and not a wet shave) and not wax because of the extreme itchyness that soon follows?! I think shaving causes more itching than completely removing the hair. Hairs growing back that way are less coarse than the ones that grow back after shaving too (which have been cut off sharply due to your razor). I don't think I feel itchy after epilating (never really done waxing as it didn't seem to work when I tried it on my leg).
Raining_again Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Yeah. It was surprisingly unawkward too. The woman was supremely business-like. They aren't going to laugh at your bits you know waxing isnt itchy when it comes back.... and it usually comes back finer/not sharp like ine said
chairdriver Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I thought it was advisable to only shave those areas (and not a wet shave) and not wax because of the extreme itchyness that soon follows?! No, its the opposite. Shaving is itchy, waxing is not.
Retro_Link Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Well I assumed it would be different for woman anyway because you shave far more regularly and from a younger age, I'd imagine the skin would get used to it after a few months of shaving. But for a guy to go and get a wax having not had any previously, unless you are going to keep going regularly I wouldn't have thought it would be the best thing? No, its the opposite. Shaving is itchy, waxing is not.I know shaving is itchy, that's why I said not a wet/close shave. If you just shave it down however then it's not too bad.
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 No, its the opposite. Shaving is itchy, waxing is not. I don't itch either way. I wax my chest and it's fine. I shave my balls and it's fine. Eveything else, I trim.
Mr_Odwin Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I may participate in this Mowvember thing or whatever its called. Out of generosity rather than laziness of course. Movember. I did it a couple of years ago and can't recommend it. By the end of the month you feel like a freak. It was the first thing I'd mention to anyone I met for the first time. "hi, yeah this moustache is for charity, I don't normally look like this."
Captain Falcon Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I may participate in this Mowvember thing or whatever its called. Out of generosity rather than laziness of course. Given it's only moustaches, if I participated in "movember", you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference. No Shave November on the other hand, well that could prove to be a bit more interesting. I think by the time the month is up, I might actually have enough to cover my face even if it's the thinnest layer ever. I guess I shouldn't moan about not really being able to grow facial hair - it's less maintenance for me at the end of the day.
Frank Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Interesting though I doubt I could pull off a mustache/beard :p Probably could do it though as I grow hair like there's no tomorrow I never get how it's something that is relished at as a kid yet once puberty hits people make fun of any facial hair. Those are the thoughts that haunted me for the last few years, heh
The fish Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Plus it makes it look bigger. Yeah, we know you need all the help you can get in that department. :wink: Face, plus the odd neatening up from me. I have the most ridiculously hairy chest, but I'm told shaving that makes it come back thicker.
