To ask if a jumper debobbler would work on a hairy face - asking for a friend

[MyFriendLooksLikeAWerewolf]

Asking for a friend, you understand

A friend of mine is in her 40s and has a hairy face. She usually uses one of those little whirring sticks you see advertised (women using them in the car at traffic lights, good marketing strategy) but it has broken and she needs to leave the house.

She is in possession of a battery powered debobbling thing for jumpers. She thinks surely they are kind of the same principle/thing as the whirling sticks, and has asked me to ask MN if they agree, before she gives it a try?

To add insult to injury, said friend has no head hair (clearly it has migrated ) and her DH normally shaves her head for her when it gets fuzzy, with a straight razor and soap in a bowl with a brush he is old school He is not there so this razor is not a suitable alternative.

Friend promises if MN thinks debobbler will work, she will try it and report back on what her lip and chin and neck and random parts of cheek looks like afterwards.

PS please be gentle on my hairy friend, she is fragile and hairy

My friend uses a Phillips one blade thingy. Nice and gentle.

A Lumea should be given to everywoman on her 40th birthday, by the state (or earlier if necessary). Life changing things.

Absolutely, this should be the law.

My, ahem, friend also delayed buying a Lumea, mainly down to cost. By the time she felt she could justify the cost she was very old and has quite a lot of grey chin hairs, however it is brilliant on the few remaining dark bristles and on her underarms and legs. My friend also rates the Braun epilator highly. Hope this helps your friend Op going forward. Take out a 2nd mortgage if you need to and buy a Lumea - my friend says.

For today just go out in a 😷.

Mask Amtico sunglasses.

the DCs have razors for legs but they look a. Sharp and b. Bit manky

Well yes, they will look sharp. Razors tend to be. Go and get one from the bathroom, give it a good wash and use it. Problem solved.

Good god almighty, I've just seen the price of the lumea it does look good though, but cost per hair in my case probably not worth it If my other hair grows back and our financial situation changes massively, I might consider it. How fucking unfair is it that the sides of my actual head will not grow hair but places like my fucking throat will just remembered my fucking toes are trying to get in on the act too. Maybe I can debobble them soooo glad I namechanged for this thread

I think the government supplying lumeas is genius though, and I urge you to start an AIBU thread garnering support for this. Wait for a humourless bastard taking it very seriously and lecturing you about a magic money tree and personal responsibility though.

It's nice all your hairy friends have been kind enough to share their experiences with you and in turn you have shared them with me

I think a DD might be back later. AIBU to ask her to take one for the team (if it's one over 18 of course) and give me her arm to debobble? She probably would. She's nice like that

I think it would work about as well as when my friend used a magic cleaning eraser to polish her teeth..

I've had a Lumea since October but have never used it. Too scared.

Oooh that's a stern tone vicious! I really don't want to be using my DDs' razors as A. They would know and they would shout at me and point out I'm a massive hypocrite with all my going on about the male gaze (yes could definitely ID as a man ) and B they are private.

Plan B is the toes (I'm actually serious here) but I'll give in some time in case I can put Plan A (DD's arm) into effect.

Oooh elaborate hasa what happened to you your friend? You can't leave us hanging like this...

We all seem to have a hirsute friend ; mine looks like she's made of Fuzzy Felt and has just bought herself a thing from Asda for three quid .
She's looking less blurred now .

Well it did make them a bit whiter but it hurt and left them with a funny surface texture. She might have been a bit forceful with her scrubbing..

My other friend.. has given up trying fancy stiff with the facial hair now and just uses a mens razor on each each morning.

Fuzzy felt

DH often calls me "fuzzy wuzzy" when my head needs shaving.

Never thought that would be a sentence I would type. We sound unhinged I'm sure.

I think a DD might be back later. AIBU to ask her to take one for the team (if it's one over 18 of course) and give me her arm to debobble?

This is why we have children. To send up chimneys and to act as debobbling guinea pigs.

Nail clippers? Nail scissors?

@MyFriendLooksLikeAWerewolf..the three quid Asda thing also stops her nostrils tickling inside and whistling on exhalation .
Oh , gotta go , Dennis Healey just turned up - he wants his eyebrows back .

@Alwaysinpain

Any lighters or matches about?! 🕯🔥 (if you're very, very careful, it does work and you won't feel a thing. Personally though I'd try the debobbler thing first

Oh man that brought back a memory I haven't thought about in years.

The first yard I worked at was run by a gentleman in his 80s with a very old school way of doing things. To remove long cat hairs from the horses, he had a terrifying device to singe them off. Gosh I miss him, he was a proper character.

I don't think I have hair inside my nose is that a thing? In nostrils? I have a septum piercing so I think I'd notice when I change it. Interesting. If people's friends have hairy noses does it get caught in piercings? Could anyone ask a hairy friend?

I was outside having a sneaky fag and, thanks to that comment making me guffaw, now everyone knows!

Could your friend try threading on herself? It only needs a short piece of thread and finding a video on how to do it.
My friend is too cack-handed to make it work and ended up with a miniature cats cradle game going on with not a hair being touched. Your friend might be more successful.

My friend uses Japanese facial razors and the lumea. Game changer, she tells me.

Everyone has hairs in their nostrils. They are essential act as a filter to keep harmful foreign bodies out the airway and mucous membranes of the nose. You shouldn’t pluck or wax them as that can create a wound which is an open route for infection, the blood vessels there can track germs back into the brain and cause serious issues. Trim the ones at the opening if you must but don’t go nuts with the hair removal.

Cats make great beards

Miniature cats cradle SNORT!

My hairy friend plucks her nostrils and is very, very sensitive about it. At the same time she is a weirdo and gets immense satisfaction from the (weirdly painless) plucking
