Facial hair at 50+ for a woman is just as annoying as pubic hair at any age! Sometimes, I just want to say to God, "What were you thinking?" Why do we need this?
And at 50+ it all intensifies - well maybe 40ish for the pubes. It starts growing down your legs and you find yourself having to shave in places you never dreamed of going. Or you go to places you never dreamed of going - like salons that will wax it off (although I've not yet done that). But I HAVE resorted to utilizing dog shears - They work well, and it's quick. Just close all doors and hike your leg over a wastebasket. Then hope like heck, your child or hubby doesn't enter. And be careful - it's a sensitive area.
Now back to the chin. I have a sister who just shaves it off. Has done it for years, and says it works great. I've tried it. But I still notice little black nubs, which bug the heck out of me, so I pluck. But then it breaks just right below the skin surface, so I pretty much dig, trying again. And in the end, it looks like I have a severe case of acne. Disgusting, I know. I believe I mentioned having many hang-ups in my first post, along with spelling issues.
I've been somewhat fortunate that my mustache hair has been blonde, and not too thick - unless you're really "in my face" - such as my hairdresser. My hairdresser happens to be my daughter. So she decided I needed my "stache" waxed. "Hells Bells!" is all I can say to that. It hurts, big time! And although I let her do it, I still complain. I can't even imagine a bikini wax. I'd have to be put out. Think I'll stick with the shears.

HA HA HA HA HA!!! Personal grooming is always good blog fodder, but I am laughing a lot about the dog shears!
I just bought some Coochie shave cream, and it works ok, but I must need surgical grade razors in order to tame my pubes. Ingrown hairs are unpleasant!
I pluck my 'stache as well, but if it gets nasty will consider laser hair removal. I have a friend who swears by electrolysis, and she is 60 years old. Says it doesn't hurt like waxing and it is not very expensive. Look into it, J!
