I shave every morning - it leaves my face smooth and gentle for a few hours. If I knew of a reliable way not to shave and still stay clean, I'd vote for it.

I LOVE sliding up and down a smooth wet furrow but if it is hairy or (God forbid) covered in stubble, I can't do it for long. So Milady used depilatory cream about once a week or so. She is not only super smooth afterwards, but the regrowth is fine and delicate and no problem at all.

But the good news is the modern retardant creams that inhibit the regrowth. Rubbed in regularly they slow the regrowth down dramatically and, after a longer period of use, the regrowth is definitely finer and softer. Like baby hair, and the effect is permanent or very long lasting.

I can't imagine why anyone would prefer shaving, and I'm only sliding up and down a five-day old furrow if you ask me very nicely.
