Todays' daily observation: Cream depilatories work better

[supernova]

than shaving for smooth legs.

I'm in love with my smooooottthhhh legs right now. Best part is the hair gets finer and finer. I won't have to do it as often as shaving. B-)

That is all.

[KitchenWitch]

1. What brand do you use?

[supernova]

2. I use a couple

I prefer Surgi-cream when I can find it in the store. Totally painless and mostly odorless and comes with an after care emollient that's fabulous. Amazon has it, so I might have to order it online.

In the store, I like Veet. It does work, but only after I've shaved pretty closely first (finer hair.) They make a spray on that works for me too. I like that delivery method for obvious reasons. And for the *ahem* bikini area, I use a Sally Hansen cream.

3. do you do your underarms too?

[supernova]

4. Haven't tried it

It's such a small area to shave. I suppose I could. :-)

I don't know what's better cost wise over the long haul, buying the creams or keeping myself supplied in razors.

[KitchenWitch]

5. when I had radiation treatment, my underarms were in the field of treatment

I temporarily lost the hair there. It was rather nice not to have to shave there.

[supernova]

6. Hee. That was the one thing

my sister said was a nice side benefit of chemo, no hair... anywhere. :-)

She was even surprised her eyebrows and eyelashes fell out. :-0

[KitchenWitch]

7. It was a good side benefit

Certainly not a good enough benefit for having to go through all of that.

[supernova]

8. You doing well now though?

[KitchenWitch]

9. Absolutely!

I have been cancer free for just over 20 years.

10. for those of us with coarser hair (dudes, that is)...

i always burn myself with the creams. a face razor is the best way to shave other regions.

[supernova]

13. I have coarse hair too

well, more coarse than a lot of women. That's why the surgi creme works better on me, but I'll use Veet in a pinch, just leave it on longer. It doesn't work in 3 minutes like it says on the tube.

[IzaSparrow]

16. how often can you use it? nt

[supernova]

18. I use it as soon as I start to see stubble again

usually about every 5 days. More if I don't expect to be seen. :P

[IzaSparrow]

19. i have to shave my legs about every day.

so the question is how much is a tube, and how long does it last?

[supernova]

23. well, if you're taller than me

cost might be an issue. I get about two applications out of a tube.

[IzaSparrow]

24. how tall are you? or

probably a better question: what's your inseam?

[supernova]

11. Wonderful!

Glad to hear it. My sister is 10 years this year. :-) Just got a new set of fake ones. :evilgrin: She looks fabulous.

[KitchenWitch]

12. Good for her!

I had Hodgkins Lymphoma. So no new girls for me (although I am more than amply endowed)

:evilgrin:

[supernova]

14. Man, bless your heart

HL is nasty. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

15. Yes it is!

NHL is worse though.

[supernova]

17. Yes, my maternal aunt

had NHL. My aunt had 3 bouts of it over the years. I don't know how she did it. That side of the family is riddled with cancer of various stripes. Meanwhile the surviving sibling is a human smokestack who drinks like a fish. Go figure.

She was very vivacious, brown hair, big doe eyes and always bright orange or bright red lipstick over almost angelina jolie lips always. She was a teen young adult in the 50s. That's how I remember her.
