(all of these are at-home - I don't trust anybody who depends on making other people "pretty" to pay their own rent)
I tried waxing my moustache and old-lady-wispy-throat-beard - it was mostly ineffective, rather painful, and very messy. I tried using an Epilady (with the vibrating springs that yank hair out by the roots), and it was excruciatingly painful. I tried using flat pliers, and that works pretty well for the long single hairs on my throat, but is ineffective and painful on my moustache.
And then I tried Nair, and that's about the end of the story. It is a bit painful when the creepy hair-destroying formula is taking effect, and I'm more than a little squicked by the fact that one of the active ingredients is "urea" (yes I know where that comes from), but it's effective, and if done right before a shower leaves me feeling smooth and relatively satisfied. The problem: I apparantly can't do it too often, or my skin starts rashing up. :P
My eyebrows stay. Period. Nobody touches my eyebrows.
