Thread: And now a womanly topic (Shaving)

  1. #1

    Default And now a womanly topic (Shaving)

    I heard that nair actually tends to burn the skin along with the hairs. I havent used it, but one of my friends did, and she said if you have sensitive skin, its better to not use it. Waxing tends to look appealing to me, its just a little bit expensive. Shaving however, if done properly and using the appropriate tools, can be very rewarding and you dont have to wait a month for your hair to grow back long enough to get them removed again. What are your thoughts?

    I’ve been considering waxing, but I don’t know enough about it to pursue it yet.
    Shaving isn’t so bad, I am just too impatient for it.

    its mandatory for my bikini line to be clean. Too much clutter otherwise. I'm not sure about waxing. Is it true that after a few times you become immune to the pain? And is it too far when you start shaving your arms and your stomach? Some people do, and i dont know if thats exactly the best thing to do.

    I wax everything! I even use wax to take out my unsightly nostril hairs. And oh, you might BELIEVE that after a few times you get immune to the pain, but believe you me, every time they rip a strip off your nipple/arse crack, it BURNS LIKE GANDHI'S LAST SUPPER

    That's true for me. A few years ago I used Nair on my arms...long story short, it took some strong medicine to clear up my skin again >_<

    Life's a lot better without pubic hair. I shave ( or wax) it regularly down there, feels a lot better. Everyone should do this regardless the gender.

    Is it true that after a few times you become immune to the pain?
    I don't know if it's individual, but at least for me it didn't hurt much more I did it. Immunity? I doubt it, but it should ease up as your skin gets used to it. Besides it just tingles a bit anyway and you should try to learn enjoy the tingliness. IT'S GOOD TINGLE, THE KIND YOU ENJOY! Oh, the wonders of waxing.

    I know this topic was for females, but since my son ( DK!) brought up the bikini line stuff...

    Nair works differently for different people. In my case, for example, it doesn't work at all.

    I hate shaving.

    I disagree with having all hair removed from the pubic regions, but that's just me.

    I've used this veet stuff and as far as legs go, the most irritating thing is that it doesn't work well on coarse hair and it smells disgusting. It burns if you use some on such as your face, but it mostly depends on how long you leave it on I guess.

    i always feel super shiny when i come out of the shower all cleanly shaved and such. Maybe i'll try veet. just to test it out.

    Veet doesn't work for me at all either. Not even kinda. Might as well be rubbing toothpaste all over my legs.

    Women removing hair is a very important subject to me. There are women all over the world who desire to be smooth. I fight strongly for the right of women choosing to accomplish this goal through shaving, nair, wax, or any other healthy means they may acquire. A vote for me is a vote for a womens right to Shave.

    Vote Corncracker.

    As for me, I use the Venus Divine razor. I prefer to use the shave gel from the same brand name but mom usually buys Skintimate, which is okay too, but this time, she bought shave cream. For some reason, shave cream and I don't get along =[

    As for where I shave, I shave my legs, armpits, and pubic area. I'd rather get a waxing to be honest though, cutting myself with the razor (on accident of course) hurts really bad...I still have a nice long scar on the back of my left thigh from a blade that I thought was dull, so I didn't pay any heed to it running across my leg when I moved...I didn't notice the burning sensation or the blood until I rinsed =/
