Iv'e just done my second DYI laser hair removal with aPhilips SC2008/12 Lumea PRECISION PLUS IPL Hair Removal System.Seems to work fine with no major after side effects.Some irritation to the skin, but since I have fair skin that would be expected.Hair is all gone for now. will wait and see with after growth.I'm told it takes 5 sessions, only time will tell.All good so far.
I used to get sugared every six weeks - painful (although not as painful as traditional waxing) and excellent for the skin. The chap who used to wax me used this fantastic post-treatment moisturiser spiked with aloe vera that completely did away with irritation. No spots, no ingrown hairs, no problems whatsoever.
I stopped getting rid of everything when I got a girlfriend who liked me furrier. Now I just stay trimmed up top and shave my nuts in the bath once a week (with a proper shaving soap and a brush - I don't trust Gillette at all.)
I started getting waxed/sugared a few months ago. My brozillian is a sugar removal and the rest is wax. As mentioned, the sugar is a bit gentler on those intimate areas. The only problem with waxing/sugar is having to wait in between sessions so there is enough hair to pull and remove.
I did the laser thing a few years ago and found that it didn't work on the gray. What was left over was very short and soft gray hair. Since then I've tried waxing and while I really like the results it take time between each visit and halfway through I look unkempt. So I go with VEET now and that works perfectly. Leave the cream on for about 8 minutes and jump into the shower. Gently scrub it off and viola! Smooth for about 8 days. I don't use it on my balls; I shave the boys every few days. But pubes and butt crack stay very smooth for a little over a week.
I used to use shaving cream and shave every couple of days. I now just dry shave every day or two. I find I get fewer red bumps with just using a razor than when I used shaving cream. Sometimes I will rub lotion in afterwards, sometimes not.
Ive previously used the magic shave razorless cream. After reading the above post I tried the powder today. A lot less burn and a lot smoother on genitals and butt crack. Still has a bit of a smell in the house from it though.
I just go an eighth of an inch with my trimmer. Sick of ingrown hairs and itch. Actually, it does itch some, but it looks and generally feels great, not to mention Gold Bond powder! Took me all my life to use it, what was i thinking?? It's the best!
