...or at least that's what six hours of multi probe galvanic electrolysis on my beard and mo feels like afterwards. Just saying.

This title is scary I thought some transphobics literally had beaten you or something then hit you with a cactus on the face.  :o

Yeah, I thought someone literally picked up a cactus and slapped you across the face with it. I was all, "No, not Grace's pretty face!" D:

Ha! I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have hurt any more than my electro session yesterday, and at least it would have been over in 6 seconds as opposed to six hours...  :o

OMG! I forgot about Togemon! Holy crap.

lol. Enjoy your electrolysis Grace. :P It'll be worth it when you get to run your hands over a smooth face and not have to worry about upkeep.

Yeow!!!  I've only done 3 hour rounds of single probe in one sitting.

I think I'd rather have another colonoscopy than do that, Grace!

The good news is that I currently only have about an hour's worth of beard remaining now and I won't need to go to that torture chair again until August.

Youuch!

And I thought you were advocating some new form form of dermabrasion.

The longest I ever did was 3 hours, 16 probe galvanic.  I'm turning into a wimp and only make 30 min appointments for my touch ups.

What I thought! Yikes! I have had fights with cholla cactus and lost, but it wasn't in the face.

Cactus don't hurt going in. It is definately coming out that is the painful part. When I saw this post especially about the face I cringed. I slipped in mud and fell on a group of prickly pear one time and that was in the butt and halfway down the legs and a a few in the arms' there were plenty of them to pull out and that was way worst than going in.

Is there a point in posting this in the Female to Male Transsexuals section?  We don't' generally get electrolysis.

Ooops! Moved it, sorry! Clearly still not thinking straight after my cactus face punching!

Same here Ms. Grace -don't scare us like that -shwheeeww!

Sorry your face is hurting. I'm going to be having electro soon to get rid of what's left of my grays on my face. Luckily there aren't too many.

Can confirm cactus in face.  Was at E3K two days ago for a six hour full facial session with lidocaine shots.  End result: swollen, bruised, but hairless face.  Third session down, about three more to go!

Ouch. I'd rather be slapped across the face with a large trout!

Ms Grace

I could arrange that for you, but I don't think it would get rid of many hairs. ;)

Speaking of electro, has anyone had a dozen or so hard time survivors?
I've still got about a dozen that keep coming back, either that or new ones come out from the same area.

Wet trout to the face is like being licked in the face by a dog.....

I'm going to have nightmares tonight of this green, prickly blob coming toward me.
If you torture the truth long enough, it'll confess to anything.

For my laser I'm planning to try this tattoo lidocain spray anesthetic 10% Lidocaine HCI.

Anyone tried doing this?
