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?
This is my husband’s face hair strategy as well. Clippers most of the time, shaving the edges occasionally. I don’t like beards but got beat over the head with images of hot guys with stubble for long enough it just looks good to me now.
Your comment about the long johns made me laugh remembering my friend - he had very pale skin, very dark hair and such hairy legs, one time he shaved a racing stripe down the sides of his legs :)
