So I’ve been wet shaving a long time and I’m pretty handy with a DE razor, a half hollow straight, and a shavette, but I’m at a loss for this one…
My wife is getting laser hair removal for several areas including Brazilian, and there are sone places she just can’t shave. Apparently a wax is no good because they are basically destroying the hair root and follicle and it targets the melanin?
So, to the point, my wife took a shower today and did her best, then I took a quick shot with my adjustable DE, but the results were… not so good. I think this may be a shavette problem for control, but I gotta see what I’m doing so a thick soap lather cushion is out. Also there’s some delicate contouring obviously which is pretty different from my leathery flat face.
The treatments are kinda pricey so it’s important to get a clean shave, and anything she can’t do is basically the most important stuff to zap… But I figure the first time I cut her or leave a nick I’m out. I gotta figure out the… uh… Front door back door problems because those are just not flat areas and the risk of failure or accident seems high.
Anybody got experience? Or ideas? Water-based lubricant was pretty decent (the third thing I tried) to help the shave, but tools and materials seem like important choices to make.
Edit: Mods I’d mark NSFW but idk how to do it. This is like my 3rd lemmy post ever.
Omg. I must realized that, were I to do a search on PornHub, I’d absolutely find a video of this.
Still not sure Why it would be less painful than an Epilady. It doesn’t seem as if an electric tweezer would grab more hair than threading.
But, then, I’ve never had - not have I any interest in - any of these things. It sounds like you’re taking from experience, so if you say it’s worse, I’ll take your word for it.
Because an epilady grabs everything it can all at once. There’s no ability to be precise with it, not like with threading. It’s like a lawnmower, except for cutting, it just yanks out everything.
Fun. Ok, thanks for the info!
