How many other women out there have resorted to shaving their face?
I have seen a few posts lately in regards to ladies and the lovely beard some of us sprout. I know I've given in a few times and shaved when I don't have the time or money to wax. I can't get laser treatment because most of its blonde, but it's thick and there's lots of it. Waxing tends to take skin off no matter how careful you are. Creams leave me with burns, even the sensitive ones. Threading isn't available where I live, and frankly sounds more painful than waxing.
Has anyone else who shaves found that their make up blends better and stays longer? Their skin is so much smoother and looks better?
The only down side I see is the horrid stubble, which for me takes 2 days to come out.
I've been to the doctor and had all sorts of tests, I don't have PCOS or any other hormonal issues. I'm just hairy, though thankful that it is blonde.

Why don't you home wax? I wax my own legs no problems. I do have some spots of facial hair that I pluck because they are black and strong.
Otherwise look into an epilady or similar. If you know someone with one borrow it, to see if it works for you?
You can learn how to thread at home. My sister taught herself after watching the ladies do it. I was always told a woman shouldn't shave her face because it just gets thicker, darker and grows back faster. If you can find an alternative to shaving it would probably turn out better. Imagine getting a 5 o clock shadow :/ I imagine that would happen after shaving for awhile. I honestly don't find woman having extra hair an issue. I say stay natural or find another method to clear the hair but please don't shave. I understand the stress. I have top lip hair and I've decided to leaving it as wax gives me rashes. I might try threading at some point but it's natural so I don't worry about it too much.
