Interesting, I've never seen this before. When I was in Tunisia I learned hair removal was done with a sugar, water mix there. They'd make kind of a taffy out of it, smear it over the area, and rip it off. :) Kind of like waxing is done here in the U.S. Mostly I think the Tunisian woman used the "taffy" technique. All of this is pretty much just a fancy alternative way of using two clam shells as tweezers. :)
I've seen it done on eyebrows. There's also a funny video of Rachel Ray using that technique to remove the silk from corn.
Not sure if I'd be up for using that on my face, though. :)
I've seen a video of a straight razor shave at a Turkish barber. He used dental floss in the same way. I think I would leave the odd hair there. I imagine this technique would be very painfull. After all, the reason we shave is because plucking would be too painfull.
Females do that stuff. i hope i don't offend anyone. I have seen them doing it and it is really painful . GL with that stuff lol
I don't get it. I've heard of threading and seen it done. What I don't understand, is why you would thread after shaving, it seems to me threading after a shave defeats the point of shaving. If you were going to thread, why wouldn't you just thread instead of shave?
