To shave or to wax: what's the best method of hair removal?
Former Member
So what is the best method of hair removal? Waxing, shaving or one of those depilatory creams? What are the pros and cons? Which method is the longest lasting and which is the easiest?

Threading? What's that?
I have seen that done by some Egyptian barbers.
They will twist a very thin thread between the fingers of their two hands.
I can't remember how many twists. And then when they run this twisted thread over certain parts of your skin (I've seen it only on faces -beards and mustaches-) the twisting thread will entrap and PULL OUT hairs. I never heard the victims scream. (Were they real machos? Was it because there was an audience -apart from the barber? Or did it really not hurt?) I never asked.
