I’ve heard of things like Nair that make it fall out… if that was a one-and-done solution I’d be all for it, but I’m hoping for something that slows or stops it from growing.
I go clean shaven, but I get the ‘5 o-clock’ shadow the second I put the razor down, and look homeless if I skip a day or two.
Tried growing a beard - looked alright, but the amount of product and effort I shoved into that thing was ridiculous. And it was maddeningly itchy the entire time (lasted about a year putting up with it).
I’ve spent the last couple years with the conclusion that hair is just annoying, and I want it gone with as little effort and expense as possible.
Kinda partial to keeping the eyebrows and lashes cuz they keep shit out of my eyes, but honestly if losing them is the cost of getting rid of the rest of it, I’d call that a fair trade.
Some initial searching shows there is a market for hair growth suppressants, but chewbaccoids like myself might not be among the target audience lol.
Anyone got a recommendation or cautionary tale?
It’s going to be a effort or significant cost or both to get rid of it
Laser hair removal. You can get it done professionally or buy a at home device. If buy an at home make sure it’s safe to use on your face and near your eyes. I have an at home and it works and it takes years to get rid of all the hair in an area. I got rid of the hair on my feet still working on my lower legs.
I also use a brand of hair inhibitor called Completely Bare. It a lotion. I use on my upper face like between my eyebrows. You pluck the hair out and rub in the lotion. Not as good as laser but I’m not going to buy a laser removal device just to use in that area.
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair and light skin, but the tech has gotten better over the years so if you are not that see if there stuff out there that may work for you. If you buy a laser hair machine find out how much replacement cartridge are. It’s better to pay more for a machine if the cartilage are cheaper. Also read the warnings so you don’t burn yourself.
