Help. I shaved my face!!!!

[beardednotlady]

I was on my way out yesterday (in a huge rush) and noticed a couple of big chin hairs.

I couldn't find my tweezers and had no time to look thoroughly, so I picked up my razor and shaved them off.

Am I crazy? Is it really bad? Am I now going to be a bearded lady and grow a full beard? 🧔‍♀️

Nothing will happen at all!

i do this all the time😑

Oh no ! Gonna be 5 o clock stubble very soon, lol

I started derma planing my peach fuzz. Worst mistake ever. Now if I don’t do it twice weekly, instead of soft focus peach fuzz, I have short spiked blond growth! The fuzz looked better.

I had a rogue one on my neck that I couldn't get with tweezers. It's not turned into a neck beard yet.

My teen dd shaves her face with these face shaver things. It’s the done thing apparently. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VRSTQ7Z?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I just roll my eyes.

Ummm what? Why would that happen?

Shaving doesn't trigger hair growth. What you will get is blunt ended hair regrowth which can feel bristlier and can look more noticeable. Shaving does give a nice exfoliation effect, removing dead skin cells.

I shave twice a day I've got 26 hairs coming out of my chin and neck.

I think I have done some of my best thinking whilst squinting into a 20x magnifying mirror with a pair of tweezers

I did this one time, and well now I look like this 😔

I use a men's 4 blade razor to do my peach fuzz once a week. Much better than dermaplaning. No stubble issues at all.

I have really dark hair and shave off the peach fuzz every now and then. It's quite satisfying seeing it on the razor. I don't even soap, just splash a bit of water on.

It has very little effect, it doesn't grow back thicker and I don't think I can see a difference but I just like doing it every now and then!

I never understand why people think that shaving means that all of a sudden much more, thicker, darker hair would grow. Where would be the science in that? All shaving is, is trimming a hair short. It simply can’t affect what else grows or even how that hair might grow back. As pp said all it can do is give it a blunter end

I think you mean "AND NOW I LOOK LIKE THIS!"

I know what you're saying BUT that blunt end, does it stay blunt ? Or go back to peach fuzz?

Laughs in PCOS

It’s a myth that shaving encourages hair otherwise bald men who shave would have think buddy hair and our kegs would look like cave women
when I shaved my face it felt stubbly at the side burns after 3 weeks

I have a full blown beard if I don't shave every 3 days. Fuck plucking it'd take 2 hours to do mine!

Just to remind a few posters that this was somewhat lighthearted.

I do appreciate that by shaving off two stubborn hairs, I'm not going to wake up looking like Hagrid!

If that was the case my husband, who shaves every other day, would look like someone from ZZ Top!

They will grow back blunt and stubbly but be brave and wait until they are long enough to tweezer out and all will be well.

They are not the same type of hair though. True peach fuzz is vellus hair. It doesn't thicken and is not coarse.

Beard hair is terminal hair. One can't turn into the other

I shave my cheeks, chin and sides of my face every week. I think make up sits better without the soft fluffy hair I get. I’m 44 now but been doing it most of my adult life!

If shaving made hair grow back thicker, ta da! A cure for thinning hair.

It just feels worse because - stubble.

I've been shaving my face for 30 years. You'll be fine.
