Facial hair bugs me, nothing puts me off my female image of myself than feeling 'stubble' on my chin.
I don't have a 'full' beard as it were, I have quite a light covering of hair on my cheeks/cheek bones. It's more concentrated on my chin (which is roundish and a pain to shave properly) and a little less so on my top lip. What i do have is dark and while shaving does not leave a 'dark shadow' there it isnt perfect. It still can feel quite rough, and id prefer something more... long lasting.
I have been experimenting with different methods recentley, i used a cream (which didnt work and just made my skin rather sore ;) ) and also just recentley a wax, which didnt seem to work. I since discovered it seems that the cream's and wax's are only effective on hair that women have (especially face) which are finer and not as tough. Prolly why the cream didnt seem to affect the hair as much as it affected my skin lol....
I found wax products for men, but even those say not on face because hair is too 'tough'. :(
Im sure a cream would remove the hair on my cheeks easily, since its relativly sparse and 'fine' ish but thats not the main problem. So unless i want to pay for Laser or something equally permenant is 'shaving' my only option?
