i've been wanting to try waxing because it seems really easy, i just keep forgetting to buy waxing strips >_> i kept hearing that the epilator was the way to go, so i bought a cheap one and pfffffft never again. maybe it was just a crappy epilator...but whatever the case, that thing hurt. xD i tried a few more times to see if i could get the hang of it, but it was just too painful and tedious and it wasn't picking up the hair properly.
the absolute truth in every way

Epilators are more for.. after you've waxed for a while and the hair begins to grow back sparsely. Plucking up a couple hairs here and there wouldn't hurt as much as plucking up hair that's thicker from shaving or hair that hasn't been tamed for a while. :/ If it didn't pick it up properly, the root was either too big or you didn't have a good enough machine.

I've never tried an epilator, but I'm a little skeptical of it myself.

And for all of you that say "Shaving doesn't make it grow back thicker" then let met tell you from experience: It hurts WAY more to wax hair that has been shaved than if it was just hair that grew back after the prior waxing session. Hair that has been shaven also gets deeper into the skin and has a bigger root. >_> I've been waxing for over 7-8 years. And I've been waxing myself for over 3 years. I think I'd know the difference because I can clearly see and feel it.

Lordy I want laser so bad :/

I have to shave because I don't get enough hairs coming through for a proper beard. They just look silly if they're left. Although, I'd like to grow a goatee. I also get hairs growing of the two small moles on my face, which looks gross.

Oh and other than my face I've started shaving my armpits because they seem to get less sweaty. I keep tidy elsewheres.

I dunno if I went TMI but everyone else was sharing. o_o

I shave my face (with an electric shaver) every couple of weeks. I would shave more, but it comes out so blonde that it's unnoticeable until it gets about half a centimetre long I don't bother.
If and when it starts growing faster/darker I want to grow a goatee. I have stubble atm but as I said, it's blonde and therefore invisible.

Since we're sharing, I do trim other places, but very rarely and only when it gets a little uncomfortable.

I shave my facial hair once a week, mostly because people say it makes me look weird if I let it grow xD

I use an electric trimmer/shaver most every day. Sometimes I let a little stubble grow on my upper lip (it never grows into a full mustache even if I let it go for a month and it just looks weird) but otherwise I like being with no to very little facial hair.

Since my hair's black, I always have the little "five o'clock shadow" on the upper lip:/

Do you shave any area of your body?
Legs and 'pits, the norm for most women. I shave every other day in the summer and a couple of times a week in the winter. Anywhere else only gets done if I feel like it.

Do you do this for your own personal preference or because it's what's accepted amongst your friends/people around you?
Mostly personal preference. Body hair is gross to me and I love the feeling of being clean-shaven~

Also.. any guy that expects a girl to have no hair under there.. well let me tell you. Sometimes shaving down there isn't for everyone. I tried it once and never again. Luckily it was only for my bikini line. >_> But it grew back SO painfully. I had red bumps when the hairs were growing back (and I keep myself tidy! It was just the skin being a mofo!) and unbearably irritated me for about a week so bad that it hurt to put on underwear. As much as ripping out hair by waxing there hurts.. it doesn't even begin to compare to the horrors of shaving. I am not alone with this, other people have had the same horrible shaving experience and it's more common than you think.
I know what you mean. @[email protected] I hate those red bumps with a passion...
Although sometimes I still find myself doing it because the clean feeling is almost worth it. Still wanna try waxing too.

I shave pretty much wherever a girl shaves in general except for "down there." Trim, but not shave. Sometimes I use hair-removing lotion for everywhere else.

I also shave the sides of my head with clippers to keep my Mohawk hairstyle; I do that about once a month. I would shave my head every week, but I'm lazy, my arms and neck gets fatigued, and it does get pretty messy. Plus, the hair falls on my face and in my shirt so I end up having to take a shower because I start to itch like crazy from the little hairs poking me. An alternative is to just go see a barber or a friend. Sometimes I do this because it's hard to get the back of my head since I can't see it. A barber is more precise too. ; ;

And shaving really DOES make it grow back thicker..
It's been proven false and any dermatologist will tell you that it's just a myth; don't be afraid to shave. Your "experience" was likely tolled by other factors like your age, hormones, and your surroundings.
Waxing is still better than shaving. :q

Every night, every other night, or every three nights.

-Do you like shaving?

It's part of keeping up with my appearance. I don't want to go to work looking all scruffy, I prefer clean shaven face over a face full of hair.

-When was the last time you cut yourself?

Probably the last time my blade was quite dull.

I'm so tempted to hijack this thread and make it a "post your beard" thread. But since I know you're all camera shy I won't even bother.

I like having the rugged scruffy look sometimes, and other times I shave because I want women to see how hard I've worked on my jawline. Shaving is such a pain though, especially after not shaving for a couple weeks.

I haven't seen myself with a beard, so I dunno how good I'll look. I'm starting to get enough hair that I might want to start shaving regularly... but for now, I just wait until it gets long enough to start looking bad.

-Do you like shaving?
No.

Never.

Smooth, merely because I don't like the prickly feeling of stubble/beard. =|

Do you force your boyfriend to shave?
I don't force him to, but oftentimes, he does so because I've told him that I don't like the prickly feeling. I mean, he still likes being cleanly shaven, but normally he wouldn't shave if he's home all day or something. If I come over, however, he'll then go through the effort to shave. I always feel bad.

-How often do you shave, if at all?
I'm lucky, because my facial hair is blond (even though my hair is brown), so I don't have shave as often as others. I probably shave once every week or two.

-Do you like shaving?
I don't like it, but I don't hate it.

-When was the last time you cut yourself?
I've always used an electric shaver, so I've never cut myself while shaving.

I don't 'shave', I have a trimmer which just cuts it down to stubble, and once a week I would say.

-Do you like shaving?
I hated shaving. It took too long and was a pain in the ass. That is why I trim.

-When was the last time you cut yourself?
Very long time ago. I was very good at shaving.

Every second day. I like to keep my face smooth and clean.

Eh. I wouldn't call it fun, but it's not horrible, either.

Electric razor = no cutting. :P Yes, I'm lazy.

Well, I don't typically shave... I take my trimmer to it when my facial hair starts bothering me when I try to fall asleep, which almost reliably happens every couple weeks lately.

-Do you like shaving?
I don't mind it.

-When was the last time you cut yourself?
Um... I think its been since the first time I properly shaved myself at 15, and, even then, I don't think I actually cut myself that time.
whoops

About once a week. I trim my goatee and get rid of my moustache and jawline stubble.

-Do you like shaving?
I don't particularly like or dislike it, just like I don't particularly like or dislike showers or brushing my teeth. XD

-When was the last time you cut yourself?
High school. Wearing facial hair was against the school's dress code, so my principal gave violators a palmful of shaving cream and a cheap disposable razor and told them to shave in the bathroom. The onr time I was caught, I had never used a razor before, just an electric one, so I came out with quite a few nicks. XD

... Yeah...
Actually, other than my face, I use my trimmer anywhere else. It's only better for other body parts, because shaving can create that feeling of burn, and it isn't comfortable or healthy.

Do you do this for your own personal preference or because it's what's accepted amongst your friends/people around you?
Personal preference. Since when is the last time I took what people think about my looks more than a bit seriously?

How often do you shave, if at all?

When I'm not needing it, then it's every other day, or sometimes every two day. When I'm going somewhere constantly, then depending on my mood it would be everyday, because I like to appear clean on facial hair at times around people.

Do you like shaving?

Not really. I wish this was done by some kind of magic, where I could control how much beard and other hair I want at a specific day. That way, I could get clean or rough - anyone I wanted at anytime, because I really do feel like switching every once in a while.

When was the last time you cut yourself?
Must have been almost a year. I rarely cut myself even how I make it work without gel/foam, because I guess I'm just too good with it. The rare times I do scratch myself, it seems to be almost always around my upper lip...
