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

I was looking through the pictures of this guys straight shave and noticed they used thread to 'clean up'

BBC - Derby - In Pictures - Shane's close shave...

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.

None taken, I'm considering it for the 'stray' hair or two. Not too worried about the pain factor

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?

It's to catch the hairs on the upper face

I use my razor to shave those - carefully

Mine aren't stubborn, just a little harder to reach

Thank you, for clarifying. I'm in the same boat as Haglahoo.
I could use it for my upper lip and chin hair, since those are the areas that I have the hardest time with right now.
