Hair removal for the over 40's!

On my face I use a hair removal cream.
My lower legs I shave.
I use a lady shave on my intimate area!
What do you all use on your out of control bikini line and upper legs? If your hairs are dark enough to show up I guess I mean.

I use a normal razor on my legs and a bikini trimmer on my bikini - but I take the guard off so it is on the lowest setting .
If I use a razor on my bikini I get too many of those itchy spots .

I wet shave underarms and legs with hair conditioner using a Gillette Quattro razor.

I remove all my pubic hair and bounce between waxing (in normal times) and a wet shave, the same as legs and underarms. Waxing is smoother but l get fed up with the regrowth and resort to the razor.

Once in a while, I go for a Veet Sensitive/wet shave mix.

Epilator on legs (easy enough just to waft it over my legs without worrying that I've missed a bit , and after the outlay much cheaper than wax)

Nads Sugaring on my armpits and 'tasche . No heat needed , very quick. Don't think I could bring myself to epilate my pits .

Bikini - sugaring though I shave a couple of weeks before so the hairs aren't too long otherwise it pulls when applied .

To add to my previous comment; l’m in my early 40s, but l didn’t do anything different when l hit 40.
