Does anyone 'thread' hair on their face after a shave?

When I was 12 or 13 I read a biography of Sitting Bull, the great Sioux warrior and shaman. The author said (and it was probably B/S) that Sitting Bull plucked the hairs from his face as they grew in.

So thinking that was a good idea I grabbed my mother's tweezers and gave it a shot. I only did it one time and I can guarantee it was painful. I've never seen that string thing before. Like Lee I just shave those with the rest of them.

That just looks like it hurts... I just use my razor carefully, like hoglahoo

I could be wrong, but I don't think this would work at all on stubble (whiskers). It's to catch the fine, peach-fuzz hairs that grow just about everywhere the whiskers don't. When you see Japanese barbers shaving women's foreheads and whatnot - those hairs.

When I used to let my stubble grow out and trimmed twice a month I once got a beard hair caught in a zip on my top. It pulled, hard and hurt like nothing I've ever known, but didn't pull it out, that single hair took most of the weight of my top.

The very idea of plucking anything on my face now makes me squirm.

And since I have gone to so much trouble to create perhaps the ultimate tool for removing hair from my face why try something else.

I have seen the women on India use this technique though and would like to learn it just for the sake of knowing how to.

And it would be fun to teach my lady a new way to do her legs, when I get a new one that is.

I've never heard of that tecnique but it's interesting. I've heard of plucking/tweezing and even I don't want to do that. Seems that the method is comparable to those.

I just shave peach fuzz carefully.

I've watched videos of this on youtube and people had said the Turkish barbers use that technique to get the hair around the eye area where the skin is thin and shaving can do damage.
