Hair problem

[brookline1254]

Lately I felt a bit insecure about my facial hair [only on the upper lip].I don't want to shave because I don't like shaving on my face[both manual and electric] and or wax or twess because it hurts but I know some of my girl friends(friends that are girls FYI I'm GAY) they use nair hair remove cream. I Want know if I should use it and would you/have you used it and what did it feel like

If you use it get one of them to help :) and make sure you can use it on your face.

I would suggest not using that type of cream on your face, you never know the consequences of using something like that. One thing that I can tell you, I had troubles shaving when I first started also (my facial skin is kinda sensitive). I eventually learned to do it, and now I enjoy doing it, and it doesn't hurt!

First, get yourself a good razor (like a Gillette Fusion ProGlide or something like that), usually for the face the more blades the smoother the shave.
Second, get some good, foamy shaving cream. My parents use Edge but I prefer Barbasol because it smells good and it is soothing and extremely foamy.
Third, wash your face with warm water before you shave, this will soft your skin and such.
Fourth, thoroughly lather yourself with the shaving cream.
Fifth, take the razor and run it under the warm water, and gently lay the razor on your face starting from the top of where the hair is growing and slowly go down to where it stops. The key is to let the razor do PRETTY MUCH ALL the work, you don't need to press down at all! (I usually do my cheeks at one time and follow with my neck. ) As you are shaving rinse of the razor often with warm water.
When you are done rinse your face with COOL water, and if your face can take lotion well without breaking out, apply some. It will help with the mild irritation.

Good luck, tell me how it goes if you try this!
