The bearded lady

I've just ordered two Wizzits Ana, (on your head be it! Instead of on my chin!) as it was better value than paying the postage!

Try e-bay

Wizzit

Cor, the Wizzit from Amazon costs as much in postage / delivery as the item. I'm too mean!

I've just discovered one on my earlobe !

You're very lucky, Flickety. My hair seems to be migrating from everywhere else to my top lip, with the occasional random excursion to my chin and throat. Has anyone tried one of the very expensive devices - use some kind of light, I think?

I use tweezers daily - the hairs seem to be getting weaker.
My Mum used diluted bleach on her upper lip and it did kill the growth. But she found it also affected her sense of smell , though that does go with age too.

I too used to have electrolysis from about age 40, but my very well qualified lady's eyesight began to go after a few years treatment, so I had to go to a modern young lady in a salon. However, I noticed after a while that I was getting scarring (she seemed to do it much more quickly) so I have given up and now get the tweezers out with my reading glasses and magnifying glass. IjJust try and ignore the huge wrinkles on the rest of my face!
I dont understand how they suddenly seem to be so long, when I didn't see them a couple of days ago!
And the eyebrow hairs are going too long too! And some are going silver.

I have been having electrolysis since I was 40 (I am now 71). If I hadn't had it I would have, not just a few hairs, but a beard to rival DH's. It is the price I pay for a, still, luxuriant head of hair.

I have found it very effective, it does destroy the individual hairs, but there are an awful lot of hairs on ones face and as each one becomes coarse and bristly it needs treatment. For 20 of the 30 years I have been having treatment I have only needed three or four treatments a year. I had one last week and do not expect to need another one before Christmas.

Before anyone else says it, I admit I am odd in that I love tweezering my stubborn half dozen every few days! Its an ongoing battle between me and my chin hairs and I enjoy the feeling of getting one over on them when I manage to tweeze them out (they're stubborn and fine). They usually come back in the same places and its a game of cat and mouse ..........I like squeezing spots and blackheads too when I can find a willing volunteer but that's another story. I think this marvellous implement you're all talking about would spoil my fun. Yes I know, what a saddo .............!!

Is it wrong to use an ordinary electric shaver? (I'm asking for a friend....)

Oh thanks for that, just ordered a Whizzit for my beard and moustache! Was tempted by the advertisements for the NoNo but put off by the reviews. So nice to have a good recommendation from Gransnetters

Oh how I wish there was a permanent removal thingy for chin whiskers!!
I use the tweezers every few days, but i might try a Whizzit now that I've heard about it. THANKS

Some of the 'Edinburgh' grans were having a discussion on this very subject yesterday (after we had eaten I hasten to add)! Tweezers, epilators, waxing and laser treatment were mentioned. It's obviously a subject very close to our hearts chins

They aren't! No more that tweezers, I think.

No, you are merely recommending, Ariadne!

Those things always look to me as though they'd be very painful to use...

Ooh, am I advertising?

Epistick Epilator Facial Hair Removal tool

Didn't produce a link, so that's the best I can do. Costs £1.00 + P&P

I have a thing, which I thought was a Whizzit but it's just a tight, long spring with a handle at each end. No batteries, and incredibly cheap, and good! Think I mentioned it a couple of years ago. Will go and look on Amazon. Back in a minute...

I bought a Whizzit too, after an earlier thread. It doesn't hurt much, as it has a very narrow head, which only covers a small area at a time. It works OK, but I usually use tweezers, bright light and magnifying mirror every few days.

I ordered a Whizzit after Ana said about it. The darn thing is waiting to go back. Batteries in, switch on - nothing.

Will try from another supplier once I've got my refund.

Right, seems like some kind of epilator is the thing. I'll give it a go. None too keen on the adjective painful but, hey who wants to turn into Der Fuhrer especially when like me you live in Germany.

I've ordered one Ana on your recommendation - not that I need it of course, but just in case

I have an Epilady (for the face). It does work well, but it's so, so painful on the upper lip - where the hair seems to grow in dark. If left, might end up looking like Hitler... !

Yes, Ana. It must have been you and I'm very grateful.
