Thread: Only old fogies read this

An unfortunate "coming of age" (vintage) male phenomenon. Not one of the worst, by any means! My wife hides the tweezers in her hand and sneaks up on me. Hurts less right after a shower, with the hairs softened BTW!

Reminds me of a scene in "the fly" where he starts his transformation with these hairs that start coming out on his back which are so tough a razor won't cut them.

Hmm, I have a strange craving for sugar.

I cut 'em close with a hacksaw, then drive 'em in with a hammer and bite 'em off from the inside.

Pluck 'em or nuke 'em!!!!!

I hate those things. Got a vision of when I was a kid looking at my Grandpa and he had so much hair in his ear that it looked like a birds nest. Did I say I hate those things!!!!!! Old age is not my freeend...........

I get some unusually thick-looking hairs as well, and when I pluck them, I find that it's two or three (!) separate hairs in the same pore.

...I'm not the only one, right?

Well, your lucky because you have 3 or 4 hairs in the same pore. I have one hair thicker than 4 hairs in the same pore.

As my 95 year old dad says "getting old ain't no fun".

I'm pushin 50 and already, I have less hair where I want it, and more hair where I don't...What's up with that...

Anyway, I get this mutant hair growing out of the bridge of my nose, not out the bottom, no spider coming out of the drain pipe action...but out the bridge...My Gf is an Electronic's Tech, She's really good with tools, and has a Gerber multi plier, She's actually used it in lieu of tweezer's on my unicorn hair thingy..

The good news is you'll get to the point that your eyesight gets bad enough you can't see the rogues ant more.

Those that are in my ears I pluck.
Those that are in my mustache and on my ears I cut with a pair of mustache scissors.
The rest I mow down with one of my 8/8s that are sharpened to perfection.

Getting older is still better than the alternative.

Luckily no ear-hair yet. Nose hairs get plucked.
I do have some hair growing on my shoulder and back, but my wife (and now my daughter ) nukes them with my wife's epilady. Yes it hurts, but at least they're gone for a good while.
