Terry:
Get laser treatments. I just had my third one, one of
my friends with a very bad hair problem had her first,
and we are going, "OooOOOoo....we have girl faces now!"
lol
The hair on your face, when it is lasered (we went to a
place with a GentLase laser), becomes very soft after
about a week, and then it falls out. But within a week
or so, you'll stop getting stubble. It's so wonderful!!
I used to shave twice a day, with all the attendant
bristles.
Hope this helps.
