Getting rid of upper lip hair - how??

I used to use cream but it irritates my skin now. Waxing at home never seems to work well. What else is there?

Waxing works for me (although I now realise I might be in the minority!)

I'm another one who just shaves it, in my case with a disposable razor. I do it most days. I know the theory is that the hairs multiply or grow back thicker but they never get long enough for me to notice

I use nail scissors. Ours have a slightly curved blade and I use it pointing out so I don't cut myself

I would never let them get that long!

This.
There is a reason that men use electric shavers (or real blade shavers).
It it because it works, with least fuss / bother / money / time involved.

Can you imagine a man putting hair remover cream on and risking chemical burns? Or booking an appointment for electrolysis or threading, or anything else?
No, he whips out a shaver each day, minutes later job done.
If you are just doing lip-surround area, it takes seconds, with no faffing, and gives a smooth result.

I wouldn't dream of shaving, you just end up with stubble!

I use a Braun facial epilator. Yes it's painful as all the hairs are being twweezered out by it, but it's worth it!

I have tried threading, creams, waxing and this is definitely the best way for me.

I've been shaving & plucking mine for about 30 years. The slightest bit of growth looks visible as like another poster I have VERY dark hair and in winter quite pale olive ish skin. I can't stand the slightest bit of regrowth as I look like I have a moustache.
