Well last year my husband received a Fusion Razor as a Christmas gift and really said he liked the razor he was already using. So I was like fine I'll use it and it's been awesome. It has the 4 blade razor head that you basically replace when the moisture strip begins to turn white. It gives me the closest shave without irritation! As for the eyebrows I do the at home waxing really b/c I do not trust anyone else to do it. I love the Microwave Sensitive Tweezless Wax by GiGi. You can get it at most beauty supply stores.

I wax my own eyebrows and upper lip but get it professionally done about once every three months. I go to Sally Beauty Supply and purchase wax called Micro Tweeze Hair Remover. You just stick it in the microwave for a minute and you're ready to start waxing! It's only a few dollars and lasts FOREVER!

What in the heck is threading??  I love the way my eyebrows look when I get them waxed just like Stephanie, but I'm so cheap.  I'll spend the few extra bucks if I'm going to a formal function, but otherwise I'm all about razors and tweezers.  I'm getting married in February and considering a bikini wax so it will last through the honeymoon...but Yikes! I'm scared of the pain.

I've tried threading...i thought I was going to cry it hurt so bad. Waxing just irritates my skin. So basically it's either plucking or shaving. I use the BIC Soleil disposable razors. Check out the Sunday Coupons for saving on shaving essentials. It saves me a lot of money.

I love the way my eyebrows look when they're waxed, but most of the time the wax is too harsh for my sensitive skin and I have a bad reaction.  I've been to a salon that does "sugaring" which is nice, because it's not hot, but I didn't find the results to be as precise or "smooth".   I'd love to try threading, but for now, I stick with my trusty slant tip Tweezerman tweezers.  (the best, by far).  As for the "rest," I'm a razor gal.

I’ve used a razor and tweezer combo for years. I shave my body and pluck my eyebrows. I’ve dabbled with waxing my bikini area, but the cost keeps me away. I’m seriously considering laser hair removal for my bikini area. If I’m not smooth it irritates me when I’m on my bike for hours and hours during the season, and since I’m in a bathing suit multiple times a week it becomes a nuisance. Any Janes tried laser hair removal?

I'm a fan of the old fashioned methods--shave and pluck.  I like the Schick Intuition Razor with the shaving lotion built in.  It costs a bit more but it saves time and lets me shave every day in a minute or less.  I pluck my eyebrows cause I'm too cheap to have them waxed.

I'm pretty old fashioned when it comes to hair removal.  I have tried some of the newer methods/fads and they just don't work for me.  I shave my legs and bikini area with cheap conditioner, Suave or whatever smells good, it works better than shaving cream and really softens the hair.  the new Dove body wash is great too because the lather is really thick.  As for the eyebrows, I'm a plucker.  My friends swore by waxing and now they're threading but I just don't see the point in making an appointment for something I can do myself.  Plus you have to let them grow out in order to have these things done.  I pluck my eyebrows once a week, usually in the car (parked of course) because the the natural light reveals all the tiny ones I can't see in my bathroom mirror.  As long as you keep up with it (5 minutes or less a week) they don't get out of control and there's nothing to worry about.
