A Model's Secrets: Women's Facial Shaving - DEFUZZING THE MYTH OF THE FEMALE MUSTACHE!


DermaPlaning and "Steel Facial" seem to be the catch phrases.. I guess one of the Gals from the Bachelor TV series is Blogging about it or so the wife tells me


Anyone ???? heard more of this


I think I might have the wife talked into letting me try...

Gawd man! You would never hear the end of it if you nicked her...:nono:

Ok never HAD to but.........LOL

I'm going to pass on suggesting that in fear of wearing a SR someplace terribly uncomfortable. I'll just be happy with her smooth legs....

It looks as if the goal is a perfectly even hairline & eyebrow line, no "strays"…a state that no one has naturally, of course.

Boy, next time I need a reminder to use "no pressure," I'm watching the eyelid part again.

If her boy kisses her forehead afterwards his lips will probably stick, because shes so smooth. Looks kinda neat.

i nicked the wife shaving legs once

she didn't seem to mind much

Good Morning America" just did a special segment on this today

Women are really catching on to this trend, anyone else tried it yet ????

Especially Kamisori guys :) this is right up our alley

At this point in time, I have absolutely no intention of even bringing this practice to her attention.

You are worried she might like it and start wanting to use YOUR razors :rofl2:

At the barber shop I go to, frequented by young and old, but a fair amount of young Latinos, this is common. Those guys get their hairline lathered and shaved as part of the cut. usually just clippers with a #1 or 2 guard over the sides and top/back, then absolutely even by shaving the forehead with a shavette. Seen it for years among young men down here.

Yeah, Glen. The google result seem to indicate this is quite a popular women's beauty treatment and has been from quite a while back. I'd heard of actresses back in the 30's and 40's using this treatment.

Looks like the fairer sex has found what we found to be true also "The old ways are sometimes a better way"

Yeah, quite.

I became fascinated after @TheRazorQueen did a video shaving another lady.

Do note that some things may not have changed: There seems to be a far stronger leaning for women to want to have someone else do it for them ;)

There is that possibility but just getting her to start using a Futur DE instead of those carts was chore enough.

IMHO, women have always been smarter about shaving than the guys.

They do it in the shower/tub where everything is always wet and soft.

OTOH, shaving their face may well force them from the tub/shower to the mirror. The difference between the sexes is the man's beard. It grows noticeably every day and requires a deft touch to shave properly.

The ladies facial hair is much finer and much less noticeable, IMO. So, the question is:

How often do women have to shave their face?

... And, is it similar to a gentleman's beard where, once you start and as you continue to shave, does the hair change in size and texture coming in thicker and coarser as time rolls on?

Seems like that would be the determining factor... If you had darker, coarser hair to begin with seems to be an easy practice to begin. But, were a lady to have finer, fairer hair that would be a significant commitment and added grooming ritual that may be best avoided.

Very interesting and I wonder if chemical hair removal would be just as effective yet not lead to the mechanical stimulation and subsequent change in hair growth?

The massage part looks wonderful. I have had a barber shave me once and the pampering is what made it different.
