 Topic: To shave or not to shave?
Posted: 29 November 2008 at 8:52pm |

LOL before you all think I'll about to grow all my natural hair out (heaven forbid!!) - actually I just want to know whether you prefer shaving, waxing, or plucking; DIY or at a salon; and obviously where each relates to. For starters:
Eyebrows
Bikini line
Legs
Armpits
Thanks all!

Eyebrows - waxed at salon every 3 weeks
Bikini line- nothing in winter. hair removal cream in summer then wax at salon a few times when Im feeling brave and have $$. Vaguely contemplating a brizillian.
Legs- shave every 2nd day in summer, less in winter
Armpits- shave daily
ETA- I am WAY too much of a wuss to wax at home! Someone else ripping it off is bad enough!

Eyebrows I pluck them but prefer to get them waxed at the salon
Bikini line I shave but prefer to get a brazilian at the salon
Legs shave
Armpits shave
I can't really afford salon at the moment so home job it is. I'm too wimpy to wax at home I can't pull it off fast enough.

Eyebrows - pluck. Occasionally I like to get them done at the salon so I have some idea what to keep them like.
Bikini Line - never needed to do anything
Legs - ahh Im shocking, Havent shaved since befre Maddi was born. Surprisingly they are not to bad. I started using cream and plucking and they have never really grown back. During Summer I'll probably shave weekly.
Armpits - shave every few days.

I'm also too chicken to wax or have waxed - but I hate plucking too!
Eyebrows - pluck, rarely because I'm a wuss
Bikini line - shave as needed (hardly ever)
Legs - shave every couple of days
Armpits - shave most days

If you can handle plucking you can handle waxing, it just takes a wee bit to get used to but its over before you can wuss out anyway.

Eyebrows - pluck don't do much with them
Bikini - get a brazilian at the beginning of summer, and that's mostly it, I never wear a bikini its just feels nice
Legs - shave 1 or 2 a week, less in winter i can't always see what i'm doing. I've thought about using creams but not sure how well they work.
Arms - shave every other day

Eyebrows - Wax at a salon, or wax and pluck at home if I run out of time to get them done - quite normal at the moment.
Bikini line - Wax
Legs - Wax, depending on the money if I get them done at a salon or home.
Armpits - Wax and shave, I like to get them waxed for the summer.

Don't really bother with any of it, not very hairy and what I do have is mostly light
Eyebrows - Don't need doing, never started
Bikini line - dont bother
Legs - Havn't shaved in a couple of years and there is hardly anything left, when I do bother I shave
Armpits - sometimes will use a roll on with hair removal/reduction in it, if it starts to get too much just use scissors - armpits get very sensitive and get rashes and ingrown hairs
