I'm not sure if there is a way to "permanently" lose all of your facial hair. I think everyone has asked that question. There are some posts on electrolysis and things of that nature. You might want to check it out. Me, I have been shaving for years and have decided that I am going to try waxing...GOOD LUCK

If you're not on an anti-androgen med yet, that might be a good starting point. I'm on spiro, and it has helped quite a bit. It doesn't work for everyone, so it's something you need to talk to a dr. about.
You might also consider experimenting a little more with the methods that you have already tried. I've found that different types and brands of wax work differently depending on the texture of the hair you are removing. I'm sure the same could be true for razors and depilatories.
The only permanant solutions are laser and electrolosis. Those are even more effective in combination with medications that keep your hormones levels in normal range.

I've been using Vaniqa (topical ointment) for about 4 months now and I really like it. It's a bit expensive but one tube will last you a while. You just put a thin layer on the skin twice a day. Once it dries you can put moisturizer and make-up over it. I've had really good luck with it.
