We know they do it in Japan although I'm not sure why. I did see a few guys who had hair on the foreheads when I lived there, but it wasn't that common.
So, the point of this post is does anyone do it and will it remove the ageing lines I have there?? I'd like to try but am worried bad things might happen. Will they?
Actually, interesting you mention this.Quote:

That and my new find of using the Esbjerg Aftershave Oil, which is sublime how nice it feels and treats the skin, which I apply all over, including on my big bald forehead, and since, my skin is noticeably better, wife noticed, no red, flaking dryness at all.
Maybe I'll try the forehead next shave, makes sense as far as I'm concerned.
Great topic...thanks!
You're welcome!
I read an article a while back saying that scientific tests had revealed that shaving does not make hair thicker. lol. I'm not so sure about that, and it goes against every woman I've known who's shaved her legs, but maybe it's right. I can say the parts of my face I shave that have no hairs have never started growing hair, or thicker hair hasn't seemed to have developed. Shrug!
I'm definitely interested to hear how it goes, Phrank. And if you start looking 20 years younger I'll be happy to let you give me one of those choppers.
Interesting thread. The exfoliating properties were one of the improvements to my neck line noticed when I started straight shaving. Never considered using it on the eye bags and beyond..
Will be following this conversation with interest.
Thanks.

I had to do a lot of laughing g to get those lines so I'm not sure I want to get rid of all of them. I earned them and think I will keep them for now but the concept is interesting.
Are we talking about shaving your forehead even without hair there? Cause I haven't ever grew any hair on my forehead, everywhere else but never my forehead. Tc
Yep, we're specifically talking about shaving the forehead to see if it reduces the lines or wrinkles. And I'm worried that it might make the tiny little hairs there grow thicker, which may be even worse than the lines themselves.Quote:

Hair grows at a consistent rate. Whether you shave or not won't change the growth rate. That's an urban myth that shaving alters that.
Wrinkles and bags in the skin are structural changes. There are some chemicals that can make things look better or provide very temporary effects but in the end only plastic surgery or a face lift can really eliminate them and even that is temporary.
I don't know about shaving hair, but for removing age lines the Heller-Vixen file will do the deed ....... :rolleyes:
