Facial hair on men

So I had this pretty longish stubble going on and I decided to try and shave with the shaver plugged into the mains. Don't do it, kids. It was painful as fuck.

Now there is about an inch on my left cheek which won't grow any hair whatsoever. So beards aren't really an option for me. I could grow a goatee but they is for fags, like.

A cautionary tale.

Fucking, ouch!

How come whenever you yank hair out by the root by accident like when you're unconscious and your mates put a waxing strip across your eyebrows, or when you pull a clump of hair out of your head in a rollercoaster mishap, it never grows back? Yet, when you intentionally spend your life waxing your bikini line or armpits the little fuckers still come back with a vengeance? :angry:

Thank God, for that. I prefer hairy women parts.

All of it or a bit of it? I concur wholeheartedly with the former :pinch:. Epilators are the future though so maybe you should just get with the program sister :snooty:.

Mate I bought it as a wonderful miracle solution to the bikini line dilemma with the possibility of whipping it all off with it. I got one side done, oh my god, so very very tearjerkingly painful, and had to give up. Having your pubes ripped out by the root isnt good. I had a wonky triangle for ages.

I hate waxing and get bored with shaving so I might buy a better one and try again sometime.

You should totally get a chargeable razor thingy.

Only, don't heed the instructions, like. If it says that 'under no circumstances apply shaver to skin while plugged into the main electricity supply', then you should totally do the opposite.

It's self-electrolysis and can't be anymore painful than waxing, I would imagine. Just think of it as an anti-vibrator.

A little manly scruff isn't so bad, especially when roughing it or camping. Otherwise bald and smooth as a babies bottom. Sandpaper = :cry:

Yeah I've heard horror stories about the old fashioned ones. I've got a really good one I can thoroughly recommend. It's even got a gel pack you can put in the freezer to cool the skin before you start....plus a starter head and an advanced one for the brave. And the rollers really do help. Once you've done it a couple of times it weakens the root so it stops hurting so much...just don't do it around a period because your skin is very sensitive around then. I use it because cream lasts as long as shaving, shaving nicks, and waxing brings me out in horrific bruises. You need to exfoliate every other day to stop ingrowing hairs but you get a lovely smooth finish.

Here endeth the lesson :P.

Thanks for the advice. I might just invest, because I loved the finish of the side I did, but it was too horrible to contemplate doing again, and I really don't have a low pain threshold. I had a philips bikini razor which was meant to be the dog's bollocks but was as shite as a disposable.

I was just talking about this with sam yesterday :O Stubble ftw

Curiosity compelled me to review the poll results so far.

I am intrigued as to why the identities of those who've voted are hidden.

I am much less intrigued by the lack of votes for George Mi-...I mean, goatee.

Some things are just wrong. :whistling

Agreed. No woman wants a prince prissy pants who spends more time preening than she does :snooty:.

Absolutely. Clean but not over-groomed. I had a boyfriend once who spent longer faffing about with his hair before a night out than I did. I lost all respect for him. The death knell to our relationship was when I realised he had more products in the bathroom than I did. No girl wants to be out-girled.

what the fuck are "products in the bathroom"?:blink:

that stuff that wimmins put on to make the smell go away?

dnt mind a little bit of stubble but tash and beard is a no go

i have never shaved (except my balls ), i just use one of these http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...8L._AA280_.jpg

I bought mine some face moisturiser a couple of years ago and it's still sitting in the bathroom, although secretly I'm quite pleased he can't be arsed with it. I quite like the natural smell anyway. Fresh sweat is OK too.....but time to have a bath when it starts smelling like putrid fish :pinch:.

That sentence brings to mind a true story from my long ago.

I don't have time to tell it just now, and it's hard to believe, into the bargain.

Maybe some other time. :whistling

I bought you an Easter Egg this year, Kev but I ate it.
