Removing hair

[Candlelight]

I have recently shaved off my beard, my 20 year old beard.  I've not seen this face in a very long time.  I am finding that I really like the feel of bare skin and have been considering a test to remove all of my body hair.

Has anyone done this?  Could give me an idea if you like it, ups and downs? How to guide?

  Thanks!

I don't have much to add - except I found if I shave body hair I get madly itchy when it grows back (especially if we are talking about intimate hair).

Waxing is painful but it gets easier the more you do it - will give you a more hairless look too as it takes out the roots, also less upkeep.

I actually liked using dilapitory creams - I found they worked well for me. Just slap it on before a shower. The stuff stinks but seems to do a good job - can burn your sensitives though.

I've been trying some "revitol" brand hair remover. It doesn't get it all off at once but it does work with repeated applications, and without the "nair" burns (although it did burn the fingers that I was applying it with this morning  I must not have washed it off quick enough/well enough)
