Shaving moustache

[dangleberries]

I have a moustache and I've shaved it for what seems like ages but it's now becoming a daily job! Wish I'd never started! Help! What can I do that will make it last longer? Anyone else shave theirs too?

Just stop and get it threaded.
You could use a Lumea on it, I do, but never shave. I don't even notice mine now. Started it because I was zipping chin hairs with it, and thought may as well.

Just googled a Lumea as hadn't ever heard of it! Look good but a bit more than I want to spend. Does hair have to be a certain length for threading?

Wax it off, it's less painful than threading trust me. The hair grows back finer and patchier. I only wax once a month now and it's very fine, patchy hair.

Thread it!

I've only had my eyebrows threaded and I'm impressed as to how short the hair was and even then she could get it. Planning on my upper lip tomorrow,I'll update when I've had it done.

Disordered does it need to be a certain length for waxing? I'm conscious of having to let it grow too long before having it done!

That would be great Dame, thanks

Yes it does need to be ascertained length for waxing and it's too long for me to feel comfortable with. I'm really hoping threading is the answer.

** a certain length

It's less than 5mm now so due for a wax. You can only notice if you stand practically nose to nose with me.

Good to know, thanks I'll check it out

I had mine waxed a couple of times but was left with red mark which I felt drew arrention to it as much as the hair. More recently I've just used veet cream suitable for facial use - I only need to do it every few weeks and it's quick (about 5 mins), pain free and you don't need to leave the house.

I can't use any creams. I just use an ice pack after eye brow threading to take any redness away.

Laser hair removal. Won't be cheap and needs a bit of maintenance but effective. Lumea maintains well. No cheap solution in my view.

Bit worried about laser as I've read reviews of people being left with dark patches and that would be worse imo!

Right, I'm back!

Fucking hell,it HURT! She assured me the next time it won't so much,but my eyes watered. I am sitting here with an ice block on my chin! My upper lip is really smooth my chin area is still a bit rough but I think I will see what it's like next time. She said it was hard for her as she was threading shaved hair, hopefully it'll be easier next time. I'll update and let you know how long it lasts.

My friend who was with me said she had no idea I had such a hairy chin- thanks!

Actually thinking back the upper lip was co.pleteely bearable ,it was my chin that was so eye watering. So if that's you're only problem area then you'll be fine!

Lumea won't work on fair hair.

Why not?

I've just googled, you can. That will be my next port of call.

Thanks for the update! Be good to know how long it lasts.

God it's a bloody mine field this hairy face malarkey!

I was recommended a Lumea on here and it's the BEST thing I've ever bought
I wish I'd got one sooner
It is expensive but has honestly changed my hairy life

I got my lumea on eBay - about 1/4 of the rrp so worth checking there as well

I just use DH's electric shaver

Try the epistick spring thingy - 99p on Amazon

Painful until you get the hang of it, but it basically works like an epilator and pulls out the hair by the roots so the regrowth is longer than shaving
