I have tried waxing and inevitably end up with horrible cold sores. I am not sure what other option is other than shaving?

Best to just shave it.

Hollywood Browzer works really well for me.

You can use it on dry skin too. Just run it over the skin once or twice a week, job done!

I have PCOS so naturally have a higher
level of testosterone causing a blonde hairy upper lip that I've had since I was a
Teen. It was very embarrassing and I was even teased about it by boys in school.

I started waxing mine in university and have never looked back. About 5 years ago I started dermaplaning on myself using a special ladies face razor. GAME CHANGER!!

I love them, and will do my whole face once or twice a month. Makeup goes on much smoother, and y face is completely hairless. I will do h upper lip whenever I feel the need. Sometimes I won't notice it until it's long enough to wax and then I'll just do that instead.

Get yourself some of these amzn.to/3qb1UkZ I go slowly on clean dry skin in very small downward strokes and it works amazing!!

Winegetsmethroughit is that much different to shaving ?

I've never shaved my face using a razor that I would shave my legs with, so can't say for certain but I think the way the single blades are on these ladies face razors you get a much closer shave. I love seeing all of the fluff and dead skin that comes off with the ones I use. I don't think you'd get as close a shave with a regular razor or the precision to manoeuvre around eye brows, hairlines, etc.

Key thing is to pull your skin taught with one hand, and gently move the blade down with little strokes using the other. I watched a few YouTube videos on it before I bit the bullet and did it myself. The hair has never grown back darker or thicker btw!

I actually just saw these ones and might give them a try amzn.to/3wnbJNL

What a NoNo type machine, that burns it off.

I use an epilator, it's not as harsh as waxing as it leaves the smaller finer hairs and just takes the longer thicker buggers. Its not as eye watering as you might think and lasts about 6 weeks or so certainly less painful than doing the legs.

I just snip it short with a pair of scissors! Mine is blonde too and I find this is sufficient
