I've tried depilatories and ended up with a face and neck full of burns. Not to mention it smells like a rotten egg.

I tried waxing. It hurt like the dickens and since my hair is black the new growth was immediately visible.

I tried bleaching. Yeah, blond facial hair with black roots, lovely.

I won second prize at American Laser Centers just to find out it was $300 off of a $2000 package. Whoopie!! Not!

I shower daily and wash my face to soften things up. I use Keri Shave Minimizing Moisture Therapy. I can't find it in stores anymore so I have to go to Amazon.com. Then I use a sharp Gillette Good News Pivot Plus with the moisture strip. It gets close enough for me. When the red bumps get going I use my Norelco 8200 Series with Remington Face Saver, Pre-Shave powder stick. That stuff is amazing. I can get it at Walgreens, but you can also purchase it online at Buzzillions.com.
