[quote=Anonymous]I'm 68 and I've been plucking my chin hairs for years now.  I have a magnifying  mirror, small flashlight and good tweezers.  I do it every night and sometimes during the day too.  Some of the whiskers are dark and some are white and they are coarse, it's not peach fuzz.

I have also shaved and that works but they grow back faster because you are cutting them off on the surface rather than pulling them out at the root.  You might see a tiny whisker and pull it out and what you saw was only a fourth of it, so if you pluck it takes a few days for that one to grow back, if you shave it could emerge again before the day is over.

I know several other women who also pluck with a magnifying mirror everyday, we have all tried other solutions and plucking works the best.  It's just part of our daily routine, takes 5-10 minutes depending on how many you have.  It just gets worse as you get older.

It's ironic that as you get to be my age the hair on your legs and underarms almost stops growing completely and yet you find you are growing a beard.  This joke of nature is really not funny![/quote]
