Tweezerman Contest
November 4th, 2006 @ 2:37 pm by Contests
The Tweezerman Contest is officially over. We used a random number generator to determine the following winners. Congrats to: bluang3lbby, g, and h!
Thanks to everyone who entered - we’ll be back with a new contest Monday! 
~~~
Mrs. Bee here.
I’ve owned the same pair of Tweezerman Slant Tweezers for many, many years. I use them to pluck my eyebrows, pluck my armpits 8O, apply false eyelashes - and they are hands down the best tweezers I’ve ever used.
So that’s why I’m very excited to announce that we have three Tweezerman Brow Grooming Solution Kits, valued at $50, to give away!
The Kit contains:
-
SlantŪ Tweezer
-
After Tweeze Soothing Cream
-
Spiral Brow Brush
-
Brow Powder Brush
-
Browmousse Brow Gel
-
Black roll up case
I’ve tried laser hair removal once during spa week (desperately want this for my underarms), threading (which I will definitely continue to do), and obviously plucking (check out Tweezerman’s tweezing tips here). I just may give waxing a whirl one day before we go on a vacation! 
So what does that have to do with the contest?
To enter the contest, simply leave a comment telling us how you deal with hair removal on your body - whether it’s plucking, waxing, sugaring, threading, bleaching, depilatories, electrolysis, laser hair removal - and where you use these methods. We’ll select 3 winners at random - you have until 11:59 pm this Friday to enter. All the weddingbees are eligible to enter as well.
Good luck everyone!

I’m a waxer/plucker/threader. Really depends on the area for me, I guess.
I pluck and wax. A normal waxing just doesn’t get up everything it’s supposed to sometimes.
I am desperately in need of these. My tweezers are so dull that I hate plucking and am staring to look like a gorilla!
I like to get waxed and tweeze to keep up in between and also to get the tough buggers!
I’ve done the whole laser hair removal thing, but after 6 sessions, it’s still not permanent…. still, it’s not as thick and more sparse, but not permanent … I’ve now moved to threading! Loving it!
Shave and wax. (Only pluck to clean up between waxing appts.)
I’m a shaver for my legs and arms, plucker for random stray hairs, a waxer for my eyebrown. And soon I will have my bikini area will have a new ‘do’ thanks to laser hair removal!!! I’m so excited!
Pluck and thread, wherever applicable. Have not tried waxing yet and I think laser is a good idea for the UA
shaving, waxing, and plucking
Wax and plucking depending on the area - just got my first bikini wax ever and let me tell you child birth better not be as painful cuz if it is I’m not having kids!!!
I pluck and shave usually but I got my eyebrows threaded recently and love it!
i shave my legs every couple months… i have light & thin hair…
i get waxed for “special” occasions…
and i tweez my eyebrows & armpits regularly…
i love tweezer man i would LOVE to be randomly (kekeke) selected
I pluck my eybrows and wax my armpits and legs. I also like to pluck my armpit hairs - i find it so satisfying sometimes!
I’ve been addicted to getting my eyebrows waxed since I was 14. I get it done about once a month and pluck religiously in between.
You need to be sure you have someone good though - I’ve gone to the same person since I started and wouldn’t you know, she was on vacation when I needed them done for an event. I went somewhere else and left crying because they screwed them up so horribly I had to let them fully grow back to fix it. They forgot to mention that the girl hadn’t waxed an eyebrow in 7 YEARS when they assigned her to me.
Eyebrows: wax or pluck
Lip: wax
Underarms: shave or pluck
Brazillian (TMI?): wax/pluck (some salons do a combo of both)
Legs: shave
ohhh, i so need these! i currently pluck, wax and shave- depending on the area. mr. bop doesn’t know about the waxing- that’s my secret. once, i came *this* close to having laser hair removal but backed out when my friend broke out in adult acne where she had the laser done :0 i do wish i would have gone through with it, looking back. ah, to be armpit and bikini line hair free!
I’m a leg shaver, but a knee plucker for those lil baby hairs, mustache waxer, eyebrow pluck/waxer, armpit shaver and love tunnel waxer. hahaha that last one gets credit from my Dad. His sex talk was, “stay away from the love tunnel.” hahaha
anyways, it’s not just me, but my husband too. He gets Avon hair removered(back) and I pluck his unibrow! If he only knew about this post! I could sure use a new pair of tweezers! Especially since his unibrow gives em a good workout!
p.s. what a great post! hahahahahaha
oh where do i begin…
i dont have hair on my legs, barely any at all actually -
but for the rest of the areas…
ive done electrolysis on my upper lip and armpit areas. it was working too until i left for the summer and stopped the treatment.
ive done cream hair removal, sally hansen and nair.
ive tweezed and plucked.
ive waxed and done nads - the “natural” wax.
shaving is a last resort for emergency maintenance purposes only! =)

shaving for legs/underarms, waxing for bikini area, tweezing for eyebrows and wherever else i find stray hairs.
i dont know if it’s just me but i used to have a huge obsessive thing with tweezing eyebrows whenever i got the chance and if i couldnt get that ONE stray hair i would try and try and try to the point where sometimes i’d break skin…THANK GOODNESS i broke that habit! 
ok, i’d like to add that i had no idea so many people plucked their armpit hair!
Shave, Pluck, Epilate, & Nair when I have the time.
I’m all about plucking!! I am fairly UNhairy so only my eyebrows need it. There is something very therapuetic about it, I think it feels good. I try to sit the fiancee down once every 2 weeks or so to neaten his eyebrows up, but he still complains that it pinches. Whatta Baby!
I’m an obsessive plucker… I have to pluck my stray eyebrows…everyday. I find it quite soothing. I epilade everything else… it kinda stings at first…but you don’t have to do it as often.
i like threading, but don’t have access to any of that where i live now. so, it’s all about plucking.
I tweeze (?) my eyebrows and underarms, and use Nair for my legs
Shave underarm and legs almost everyday, thread eyebrows (maintain with tweezing), thread upper lip, and wax the rest.
All this money spent on getting rid of hair our body thinks we need!
all of the above work for me! thread, pluck and wax!
oh, i forgot, i do nair every once in a while. i tried nads too- and hated it! yeck.
wax and pluck.
Hmmm….I shave, wax, and tweeze. I’ve had my brows threaded before but it wasn’t a pleasant experience. =).
back in middle school i used nair for my legs, and razor for my armpits.
in college i plucked it all w/ my trusted 98 cents slanted tweezer from kmart.
now i have limited times in the morning so i shave my legs & arms w/ razor.
w/ my brows, i always used tweezer most of the time, got them waxed ONCE, and once in a blue moon, i’ve tried to shave it. lol
Shave, pluck, and wax!
I pluck my upper body, shave my lower body!
I love my tweezerman tweezers! I don’t have a lot of hair so I tweeze my eyebrows.
shave, epilate, pluck, and get waxed
done basically all of the above… but I mainly wax legs & underarms. I also have been going to a salon soley devoted to eyebrows called “The B Spot” in Chicago. Her philosophy is that tweezing is the only way to go. A little on the pricey side but Rashida B totally takes care of my bushy, bushy eyebrows.
I pluck my arm pit hair when bored. It’s painful but also very satisfying.
I pluck my eyebrows and shave everything else. Waxing….. ouch!
Brows: thread or tweeze
Upper lip: sally hansen pre-waxed strips
pits: tweeze
legs: shave (tho planning on buying an epilator)
I shave my legs and underarms. I get my eyebrows threaded. I love the way they do it for me. I’ve yet to try out any other body parts! Maybe for the honeymoon?!!
i tried waxing once but i wasn’t impressed & i’m too cheap to do it regularly. i pluck my eyebrows (i’m also a fan of tweezerman) & shave my legs and arms. i HATE shaving tho. it’s such a pain in the ass
I’m a plucker….I’ve gotten threaded and I’ve been waxed…..it hurt. haha
tweezing and waxing.
LOVE TWEEZERMAN…My first pair were from my mom and now I even have my fiance using them…the same pair has lasted me through many embarassing memories and great looks in bathing suits!
I wax and tweeze my brows, which are famous for the fact that they are the PERFECT shape! I only trust tweezerman to keep them that way!
I’m a tweezer and a shaver… but when it comes to my eyebrows- I have to get those waxed. My waxer is the best!
I tweeze my eyebrows everyday with the same tweezers I’ve been using since high school so brand spankin new ones would be awesome! I shave my legs, and I Emjoi (an epilator) everything else in between. Love it!
I’m a shaver of the pits, epilady for the legs, plucker for the brows…..
shaving, plucking, and threading
So funny that you started this contest because I have just been inspired by your recent posts to get my eyebrows under control. I have been plucking them for years and I always think they look symmetrical and even when I look in the mirror but then when I look at pictures of myself they look crooked and uneven…the shame! It is killing me to grow them out, but my plan is to get a clean slate to work with and then I’ll go and have them shaped and waxed. Hopefully then I can maintain the shape by plucking in between waxings. A Tweezerman set sure would help my cause!
Having a genetic predispostion for being hairy from a very early age, I’ve done it all. Wax, Nads, shave, pluck, depilitory, bleach, Epilady (does anyone else remember THAT tourture device?), threading, and finally laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is the best thing EVER. I’ve done my arm pits and bikini area. Though the hair isn’t completely gone, the difference from before and after makes it the best money I’ve ever spent (and it wasn’t cheap). The few hairs that are left grow back much slower and thinner. I plan on doing my legs some day. I don’t mind tweezing/shaping my eye brows because its sort of theraputic. For anyone who ever does laser hair removal, one word of advice - Emla cream. It is a topical numbing cream. Other wise getting your sensative areas zapped by laser is worst than all of the other hair removal methods combined.
i usually tweeze my brows, my husband’s brows, and my armpits too. occasionaly to get all the little hairs by old tweezer can’t get… i get my brows threaded. and finally i do wax “down there”. the first time i did it was right before the wedding… my husband was REALLY surprised the wedding nite!!! i totally recommend this before the big nite!
i like experimenting with products, so i’ve tried various creams and waxes, in addition to tweezing and shaving. the creams creeped me out because of the smell and the idea of applying chemicals to my skin to basically dissolve the hairs. tweezing is satisfying when i have the time, and shaving is a quick fix. i don’t like going to the salons so i try to be as self-sufficient as possible.
I desperately need these. I have VERY full eyebrows (Brooke Shields meets Andy Rooney) that require daily plucking (if I was so diligent).
I’m getting married on Friday (Nov 3) and had my brows waxed professionally yesterday. They look *fantastic* - the only thing is my skin reacted to the wax and now I have a bumpy red rash above my eyebrows. Yikes! I’m hoping it recedes significantly for my nuptials - in just 2 days.
But the moral of the story is - only plucking here on out for me!
Pick me please!! I am in desparate need for this super cute set.
I shave the legs & the pits… but occasionally I’ll start plucking away….although the position is rather quite cumbersome if plucking for a long time. I recently shared my secret of plucking the pit hairs to my new hubby after the honeymoon… & he was super grossed out! Nevertheless.. it is comforting to know that there are other girls out there doing the same thing.
I pluck pluck away at the brows… although I’m not super caterpillary or anything…I have the typical asian eyebrow. However, I do not want to overpluck & have to resort to penciling them in.. so I’ve been going to the threader… wonderful! She knows when I’ve been plucking at the wrong spots though. I love to pluck all the time…. there’s always hair growing everyday for me!
Thus please make my daily plucking more enjoyable by rewarding me with this new “plucking” Tweezerman set!!!
I just tweeze! It’s the cheapest way lol.
I’ve never shaved my legs before. My eyebrows are usually unruly and unkempt, except for the short period before and during my wedding, thanks to the famous Damone Roberts salon in Beverly Hills. And, finally, embarrassing but true — my hubby plucks my armpits for me! You are all sworn to secrecy. Now gimme my Tweezermans. Thanks.
bikini– lasered it a few years back. (for Brazilian i get waxed);
underarms– partially lasered (still need a few more treatments) and shave
legs–shave
brows– have tweezed by a pro…
I thread my eyebrows ($4.00!) I tweeze them myself for touch-ups. I wax my lip and shave everywhere else. I will never let anyone wax my eyebrows. They left me with half an eyebrow once!!
I wax my eyebrows because Im terrible at tweezing When I was around 13 I tried plucking my eyebrows and I ended up pulling an entire chunk out and it never grew back so I have a missing piece on my left eyebrow I also shave and wax when I can
It had never crossed my mind that people plucked their armpit hair.
I wax my brows and shave everything else.
I get it waxed or threaded (always trying new places) every couple months (cause I’m quite lazy) and inbetween I pluck and pluck and pluck!!
As for body hair removal, I am very traditional - I shave! I am too chicken to trying waxing for anything other than my eyebrows.
I shave my legs and underarms since it is an easy fix and my skin react terribly to the creams. I usually wax my eyebrows a couple times a year but the last time I had it done the waxer went way too thin. So I’ve resorted to light plucking there waiting patiently for them to come back in and some of those stray underarm hairs that don’t want to be shaved off. But my tweezers are so dull from constantly trying to fix my bfs unibrow. It’s like a full-time job.
WeezerMonkey
I’ve had electrolysis on my upper lip. I pluck my eyebrows. I used to get waxed a lot but don’t anymore, so I shave my legs and bikini. I also have a Braun epilady type device that I use on my underarms. It’s like waxing in that it pulls the hair from the root. I’ve seriously considered laser hair removal - but it’s expensive!
brows - thread
other facial hairs - shave
leg - shave
otherwise, contemplating brazilian (wax?) for wedding night (ouch!)
It cut off the last part of my comment… I put “cross my heart and hope to die” your comment was funny!
Are brides not in the NY area qualified for these tweezers? I read wedding bee every day to get ideas since I’m in MD. I wasn’t forturnate enough to inherit my Mom’s genes of light hair. But, thank goodness I’m not that bad. Well, I wax, tweeze and shave. I tweeze my eyebrows and above the lips. I tediously pluck my underarms b/c waxing doesn’t cover it. I wax bikini area. And, I wax and shave my legs. It’s a daunting task for me almost every week or few days. So, I’m always looking for good tools for such task.
I hope I get selected!!!
i’m not very good with upkeeping
so i’ll usually get my eyebrows waxed once in awhile..and attempt to tweeze in the meantime
As far as body hair goes, I wax if I have time and I’ve planned ahead, but I usually end up shaving. My brows are an obsession. I get them done by my facialist who does a combination of plucking, waxing and trimming– and only she is allowed to touch them. Those are her rules, but I don’t question them!
pluck, pluck, and pluck some more.
am i the only one who doesn’t know what threading is? but to answer your question i’m a tweezer girl! i’m finishing up my last year of college so waxing and laser removal is too damn $$$!!
wow look at all the responses!
my first waxing experience was the brazilian! eekk! the second time around I just did the bikini.. but since then i’ve bought my own home waxing kit.. i wax on occasion and pluck when needed. in fact mr. violet helps me with it!
i have extremely sensitive armpits, so i try not to shave them, and instead go for the plucking action. i enjoy plucking my (or anyone else’s) eyebrows as well, it’s relaxing! i’ve been recruited by several friends and family members to help maintain their brows as well 
i like threading for my eyebrows and upper lip, but haven’t found a place here….
i usually shave my legs and sometimes pluck the strays… and nair has this really good vanilla-scented bikini stuff that i use in the summer…
well.. the only thing i really do is wax my eyebrows. from the age of well.. birth to about 22 i had these funny eyebrows that looked like they ended in the middle. the hair was there, but it was so sparse it really didn’t look like there was anything. and then one day, a coworker introduced me to waxing. i was skeptical… but now.. i have eybrows! although i do pluck between sessions when i’m busy and don’t have time.
I love tweezeman!
I’m jealous of light haired girls…
I usually tweeze hair on my face, unless I’ve let it go a long time and then I use home-waxing (microwavable wax).
Legs I will only shave, I’ve never had a desire to have them waxed after a friend was horribly burned on the side of her calf from too-hot wax. Plus I always thought it looked gross when my friends would grow their legs out to get waxed.
I laughed reading the comments from the girls who plucked their SO’s eyebrows. My fiance has some sort of “manly complex” about not letting me pluck his unibrow, but I finally got him to let me wax his eyebrows last weekend!! I think it looks so much better, but he was such a freakin’ baby about it. Guys just don’t know the pain we go through to look nice.
I pluck and shave, pluck and shave, pluck and shave. Gotta love Tweezerman!
Wow I didnt know peple actually plucked their armpits (OUCH!!!)
I tweeze my eyebrows and upper lip, shave my armpits and legs. I forget the name but sometimes I use the bladeless razor… it works better than nair.
I’ve never heard of this…what is threading?? and is it painful?
i shave and pluck. plucked armpits? YIKES!! the thought scares me.
I wax, pluck and shave. Maybe one day I will go for the laser removal. I have dark skin and dark hair, so I am not sure if it will work????
Pluck and wax brows, shave elsewhere. Haven’t tried threading yet.
pluck pluck pluck with the occasional shave.
Unlike other fortunate women, my eyebrows had no shape. I seriously could not get myself to pluck them and make them look nice. I’d either remove too much or too little. So when I heard about threading, I went for it and loved the way my eyebrows came out. Unfortunately, I moved to Philadelphia where eyebrow threading is non-existent. So now I just get my eyebrows threaded when I go back to California and when I’m here, I just manage my eyebrows to keep them the way it looked when it was threaded. Everything else, I shave because I’m allergic to almost every hair removal product.
Wax/shave/pluck - in that order!
Starting from the face down.
I’ve plucked and thread eyebrows and upperlip.
I epilator my underarms and wax my forearms.
I shave my bikini line and have done only once a brazilian wax. Hurt like nothing I’ve experienced before.
Wax my legs and if I am lazy epliator it baby or let it grow out like a wooly mammoth for weeks!
i usually just pluck…but since my wedding is coming up i just had my first brazilian wax….not too bad. but what i really want to try is laser….when i have the mooolah!
Oh I am a lazy lazy girl. I pluck my eyebrows occassionally. Shave my armpits regularly. My legs, rarely. I tried laser hair removal for my bikini line. Sad to say that that was the worst $700 I ever spent!
I’m a plucker, but a lazy plucker, so I have strays all the time.
i pluck my eyebrows once a week for about 30-40 min..even some stray lashes. shave my underarms and legs and use Sally Hansen depilatory cream for the fuzzy hair above my lip. i considered getting the hair above my lip lasered at a local plastic surgeon’s office but he quoted me $300-400 for just one session. *sigh* i used to get my upper lip hair waxed but sally hansen works just as well and it’s a lot cheaper too.
I shave my legs and wax my underarms….BUT the eyebrow specialist I go to was just featured in this month’s Lucky Magazine - now there is no telling when I will be able to get another appointment!!! I could sure use the Tweezerman kit for in between sessions.
Let me just say I’m hairy! Hairier than harier. It’s all my mommas fault. LOL I have to shave my legs everyday (OUCH!!!), and armpits, I have to shave my knuckles, wax my eyebrows, and bleach my WHOLE face. It’s not even funny. I would should you a picture of the side of my face right now I have a shadow and it’s not pretty.
For regular upkeep of my eyebrows, I pluck. But once a month, I get my eyebrows trimmed, plucked and shaped by this all-things-face-related lady at a Chinese salon. Waxing isn’t enough for my eyebrows b/c I’ve still got very long eyebrow hairs, and they still look dark and unruly. So she uses round nosehair scissors to give my eyebrows their very own haircut!
For the upper lip, I use Sally Hansen’s wax strips, the kind that you can warm between your hands - they’re quick and cheap.
For armpits and legs, it’s old-fashioned shaving.
For my wedding, I’m thinking of having my arms and back waxed. I’ve never had this done before - how far in advance can I get this done before the wedding, but not so far in advance that hair re-growth becomes visible?
I pluck… everything. I used to do home wax and hair removal creams but they were to messy. For a while I’ve used an epilator for my legs. I’ve never been very hairy though…
shave,wax, and pluck
Shave and pluck. Waxing irritates my skin.
i prefer waxing but i’m lazy so i usually pluck the eyebrows and shave everywhere else.
Armpits and Legs: Shave
Eyebrows: Pluck
I love Tweezerman!
Plucking… what a pita!
I’ve definitely tried just about everything to get rid of stubborn hair. I’m allergic to the bleachs, Nair, some waxes…I haven’t found a way that doesn’t hurt, but the most effective thing I’ve tried has been laser hair removal.
I’ve always plucked my eyebrows myself, but I do get them professionally shaped once in a while. Last year I began waxing my legs rather than shaving and it still hurts, but it seems to be less time-consuming than shaving every single day (it grows so fast!)
I did start lasering though about 2 years ago. I started with my upper lip, then moved to several other areas including bikini line. It hurt so much when I first started because they didn’t have a topical anesthetic! Now they do, and it so easy! It still hurts a bit, but it is the best thing I’ve ever done! The first areas I had done are completely bare now, and the ones I’m still working on only took about 6 treatments. I do want to get my legs done, but the laser directly on bone (ie: shin) is like torture even with the anesthetic!
I get my eyebrows waxed, but because of my schedule I can’t always make it in to get the brow area spruced up when it needs it…
So, I am sad to say I use my one/one and a half inch long tweezers I that are a part of a Clinique eyebrow compact. They are quite dull and I often end up pinching the skin to get to the root of the hairs. I know, classy.
I pluck my eyebrows almost every day — it’s so satisfying to get every little hair out. My armpits are either plucked (by my BF haha!!) or shaved (emergencies only). I shave my legs once a week or so but I get lazy about it during the winter.
Damn! This must be a posting record at 100+. Tells you something about woman and body/face hair.
Guys have it way easier. They just shave there face in the morning and can let everything else get as hairy as its supposed to. What’s up with that??
Maybe the next post topic should be about our dude’s grooming rituals. Does he keep his undercarraige shorn?
luckily I’m not very hairy so I shave my armpits bikini, and legs and have no need to pluck, wax, thread, or otherwise remove hair anywhere else!
i’ve NEVER shaved/plucked/waxed/threaded/depilatory-creamed/lasered my hairs off…except for my legs and underarms i haven’t ever tried to dye my hair either, not even the hair on my head! i bet that makes me ugly. oh well. it’s kind of a lot to have to deal with all the time. i inherited my father’s lovely hairy genes. if i win these tweezers, and if these tweezers are really as great as you say they are, i PROMISE i’ll start plucking my eyebrows! i’ll even send in before an after pictures. i wonder how i look like with nicely shaped brows? i’m freakin’ scared though. i hear it really hurts!! what method would ya’ll recommend for a first-timer?
I realized I should probably add in that Mr. k likes to shape his eyebrows and if I were chosen as one of the random three - he would greatly appreciate a good pair of tweezers!
underarm: laser hair removal (1 treatment so far and loving it!)
legs: shave
eyebrows: wax when I can get appointment and pluck with tweezerman the rest of the time!
brazilian wax - - no other way to do it, once you have tried it.
WOW 109 comments!
I pluck my eyebrows and shave everywhere else. Like many previous posters, I spend hours plucking my eyebrows each week. If I’m not the lucky winner, I appreciate the tip on the Tweezerman kit
I pluck my eyebrows and shave my legs. I always thought I was the only one who plucked my armpits but I guess I’m not as weird as I thought
I shave my legs but I hate doing it. It seems like such a chore! I pluck my eyebrows and my armpits (I too am glad that I’m not the only one that does this!)
I also pluck my boyfriend’s eyebrows! hehee.
I usually tweeze stray hairs near my eyebrows everyday, and shave everything else!
I am in love with Tweezer Man tweezers!!!! I can never go back to just the run of the mill tweezers.
Onto my hair removal methods …
I shave, wax and pluck.
waxing for eyebrows, plucking to maintain. since i don’t have a lot of underarm hair, i pluck that area. i use depillatory foam and/or shave my legs.
hm…i guess i do a bunch of things… for my eyebrows..occasionally, when i haven’t upkept my own eyebrows, i’ll go get them threaded. i try to clean them up regularly by plucking though..as for my underarms…i pluck away!
Wax eyebrows, upper lip, other facial areas…pluck for upkeep. Shave legs and underarms, wax bikini area.
wowzers!! would you look at all those comments. 
i wax and pluck my eyebrows. and shave my legs and underarms. i’m pretty low maitenece.
but i do love to go to the salon to get my brows done. something about that warm wax is just soothing when done right. those sally hansen wax strips work wonders when in a pinch, though.
tweeze, pluck, and sugar. i’m an addict when it comes to sugaring my bikini area! it hurts like hell but so worth the pain.
i pluck my eyebrows, but they never really look that different…i’m dying to try out eyebrow threading though! everything else gets shaved
I use a method that works pretty well…mix an egg white, a little teeny bit of milk, and corn flour, then let it dry on whereever you want the hair to be removed. It works very well on areas that have fine hairs.
First of all, my fiance made me respond to this contest. For the record, I don’t browse on wedding sites.
How do I deal with hair? My fiance plucks my unwanted unibrow for me with her Tweezerman tweezers. I also have the Tweezerman Deluxe Grooming Kit for MEN which includes nose hair trimmers
how fun!
i get a brazilian bikini wax in orange county (the spa & fitness club in costa mesa). i thread my brows at ziba in costa mesa as well. i shave the rest, though i’m waiting to grow legs out so i can wax too.
Plucking for brows, bleaching for facial hair and shaving for legs, waxing for bikini area
Whoa, that’s a lot of hair removing going on! Why do women torture themselves?! =)
I pluck my eyebrows and my armpit hairs and sometimes shave armpit hairs as well.
I tweeze, wax and shave.
I pluck my eyebrows, shave my legs and armpits, and bleach my facial hair. I tried waxing facial hair once and did not like it at all!
Nothing too crazy. I tweeze my eyebrows with Tweezerman of course and also need to give it a trim with scissors. (But I need that gel and other stuff in the kit…my hairs need to be tamed!) I bleach my mustache or Nair it. And I shave my armpits and legs. I rarely shave my legs though unless it’s a special occasion cuz I don’t get too hairy.
I pluck my eyebrows because waxing there always makes me breakout, I shave my body, and use a depillatory cream for facial hair.
I was blessed with too much hair so I’ve tried it all! I divvied up the methods I’ve tried for each body part and my preferred method.
Face: waxing, thread, pluck = Pluck
Underarms: wax, pluck, electrolysis, laser hair removal, shave = Laser hair removal
Bikini: pluck, wax, laser hair removal = laser hair removal
Legs = nads (creams), shave = shave!
Whoa momma, so many comments! Hehe.. well I guess I will share what I do with my hairs too! I’m a little morbid and enjoy plucking the hair from my underarms with tweezers. I get satisfaction from watching the root of the hair come out from under the skin.. muah ha ha! I too get my eyebrows threaded but since my threading lady is a Bart ride away I sometimes get them waxed. I’ve never shaved my legs because the hairs are so fine and nearly invisible.
I’ve always been a tweezing/shaving kind of girl, depending on the body part. I’ve never heard of anyone tweezing their armpits, but it actually sounds like something I’m willing to try. I (freakishly) enjoy trying new methods of hair removal, but I always seem to go back to the traditional. I’m too much of a pansy to try waxing, though!
Shave - legs, armpits
Wax - brazilian (ouch!), eyebrows
Tweeze - eyebrows
There are some funny posts-haha-love tunnel !!!
This contest couldn’t have come at a better time. I, too, have a psychotic obsession for plucking my brows. I have 5 different tweezers (but alas not the Tweezerman-yet!) In fact, I’ve plucked so much of my eyebrows that it’s just a thin line now. I’ve been known to walk around with scabs on my brows trying to get that last little piece of eyebrow hair. haha-crazy but it feels SOOO good when you get it!
I shave my underarms and legs-easy. I pluck my brows and what little upperlip hair I have. I don’t do anything to my binkini (I’m terrified of how much it’ll hurt) and that’s it. Pretty low maintenance.
i like to thread, but usually i’ll pluck
I shave my armpits and legs however
wax the bikini line, shave the legs, tweeze everything else.
wow. this has got to win the most comments contest too if there was one!
i shave my armpits and legs. i pluck my brows (with tweezerman) too and I can swear by them too!
i’ve had my brows waxed a few times but i think tweezing works out better for me.
I usually pluck/tweeze my eyebrows and shave my armpits.
I usually pluck my eyebrows (though I tried plucking my armpits), wax my lips, and shave everywhere else, including my armpits.
I wax eyebrows. Shave legs and armpits, and lazor bikini. Pluck in between wax apts.
I use cold wax strips & tweezers on my eyebrows, nair the bikini line, and shave everywhere else. If I ever have enough money to do it one day I’m totally going for laser hair removal!
Definitely wished I tried something like wax or threading… but i basically just tweeze the eyebrows
I shave the pits (tweezing went horribly wrong,) tweeze the eyebrows, wax the legs and then get so tired of it that I grow hairy for weeks before going at it again.
Shave, tweeze, lotions!
It depends on the body area!
I use cream on my upper lip, pluck my eyebrows, and shave everywhere else. However, I normally can’t find my tweezers, so I end up “plucking” with my fingernails…including a renegade solo hair that tends to grow from my chin.
I recently lost my tweezers…though they weren’t Tweezerman, they were decent. I’ve never owned Tweezerman tweezers, because they’re just SO expensive.
I shave my legs regularly in the summer, but ease up in the cold seasons. I get my eyebrows threaded once a month, and tweeze in between visits. My underarms are my problem areas…my underarm hairs are thick and stubborn. Fortunately, I have a good friend who LOVES to tweeze. So whenever she gets a chance, she treats me to a *free* tweezing session. In her absence, however, I shave (unfortunately).
WOW!~ Look at all those comments. People are either really eager to win the Tweezerman set or they really have a desire to share their stories about hair removal! haha
I pluck and shave–I’m a simpleton.
I’m mainly a shaver: for my legs, underarms, and bikini area. I use tweezers for my eyebrows (although I do get them waxed every now and again to keep a good shape), and a tweezerman set would be wonderful!
legs and difficult, annoying armpits get shaved, eyebrows and occasional stray chin hair (ugh) get plucked. i try to get my eyebrows waxed every three months or so to keep them the right shape when i pluck.
For my legs, I shave. I have to admit, I just don’t know if I could wax such a large surface area of my body. I bleach my mustache area, and I shave my armpits. For my brows, I pluck. Have had them waxed once.
My friend keeps telling me to get the Tweezerman tweezers b/c she thinks they are the greatest. I would love to but they are pretty expensive. I have used hers and did think they were the best I have ever used.
I shave my legs about every other shower…so every couple of days….it grows back pretty quickly and i HATE being prickly!
I also shave my armpits…I LOVE my VENUS razor…I don’t know what I’d do without it!
For brows and upper lip I wax about every other month. I’ve tried threading, but it slightly freaked me out and I can’t find someone where I live now to do it anyways. In between waxes I keep them tidy by plucking I use my tweezers every morning before my shower…boy a set of the Tweezerman’s would be great!
oh wow so many comments…
my legs i dont have to do anything to them since i’m hairless there.
my eyebrows are really fine so don’t really do anything to them.
my armpits i been plucking them lately. seems to get rid of the hair much more.
my upper lip, i use nair for the upper lip.
I pluck my eyebrows every night and every morning. They grow overnight I swear! I pluck my underarms and sometimes my finger hairs. I shave my legs, but it gets prickly overnight as well. it sucks being a girl sometimes.
i’ve tried it all!
I sugar my legs and upper lip, and pluck my eyebrows. I also shave my underarms; it’s too painful to pluck or anything under my arms!
I am absolutely going to try laser hair removal once I get enough cash on hand!
i definitely pluck the pits.. thread the brows.. and shave the legs (sparingly - since i could pass for being hairless on my legs)!
i. pluck. EVERYTHING. i obsessively pluck and trim my eyebrows every night and i get constant comments of “your eyebrows are so perfectly shaped!” i’m proud to say that i never got them professionally shaped. i grew up with eyebrows that look like two very short, very straight, very bushy caterpillars on my face :O so im pretty proud of the shaping job i’ve done. i also pluck everything from armpit hairs (just like you, bee!) finger hairs, toe hairs… ewww.
but the kicker is how much i got my hubby into plucking… some days we work for hours plucking every hair of his moustache and beard. it’s such a satisfying feeling getting those thick hairs out of his face! even when he ends up with a puffy, bloody face… :O he just ices it and revels in the following days of not having to shave.
the kicker of the kicker is that my hubby has developed a really bad habit. even my mom noticed that when he’s alone, doing nothing, he tips his head up and makes a funny face to stretch out the skin on his neck… and starts feeling around on his neck. when he finds a stray hair, he starts picking at it with his fingertip… he does this for minutes at a time. he finally asks me to pluck it. this happens almost every day… and when i pluck the hair he sighs this HUGE sigh of relief.
i actually have a few funny stories… when i discovered nair as a teenager, i decided to nair off my ever-present, rather masculine sideburns. i loved the look of the bare face for a while
everything gets waxed for me
