... at about the same age that one needs to pluck the whiskers from one's chin on a regular basis. I now need to be in a strong light using the magnifying side of the bathroom mirror AND wearing my reading glasses before I can find the little beggars. But I know they are there because I can feel them.

And while we are on the subject why do they grow so damn fast? I swear they must shoot out faster than any other hair on my head.

Still at least I don't seem to have to pluck my eyebrows very much these days; a very occasional tidy up is all that is required. Can that be possible? I mean, isn't it a bit perverse of a face to decide to stop growing dark hairs at one end but insist on pumping them out at the other?

Ah haaa.. Think we are similar age Wink
So far chin remains whisker free,and glasses not required-But varicose veins are playing up something chronic, and neck most definitely resembles that of a turkey, despite 'lashings' of vit E cream..
Thing is it seems to have all happened overnight, Shock horror..

My eyebrows have migrated to my chin too, I have to pencil in my brows & pluck my face!

And even worse, I've now got random wiry hairs sprouting from my neck. I almost dislocate my eye sockets trying to see in the (magnifying) mirror to pluck those little buggers.

I am lost without glasses these days, without them this screen is just a fuzz, they are getting worse I need a new pair every year (cost a fortune and I don't get on with contacts, they are even more expensive).

Just one rogue hair at the bottom of my chin, dh for some weird reason calls it my goatee beard. hilarious Hmm

Does anybody else have little flaps of skin appear on the neck?
