I’ve heard of things like Nair that make it fall out… if that was a one-and-done solution I’d be all for it, but I’m hoping for something that slows or stops it from growing.
I go clean shaven, but I get the ‘5 o-clock’ shadow the second I put the razor down, and look homeless if I skip a day or two.
Tried growing a beard - looked alright, but the amount of product and effort I shoved into that thing was ridiculous. And it was maddeningly itchy the entire time (lasted about a year putting up with it).
I’ve spent the last couple years with the conclusion that hair is just annoying, and I want it gone with as little effort and expense as possible.
Kinda partial to keeping the eyebrows and lashes cuz they keep shit out of my eyes, but honestly if losing them is the cost of getting rid of the rest of it, I’d call that a fair trade.
Some initial searching shows there is a market for hair growth suppressants, but chewbaccoids like myself might not be among the target audience lol.
Anyone got a recommendation or cautionary tale?
How permanent are you wanting?

I have extensive third degree burns from badly cooking drugs and the hair never grows on it.
I got a terrible sunburn on my legs hiking the Grand Canyon a few years ago. The hair on my legs where the burns were still hasn’t grown back.
Dermatologists love this trick
Did you at least manage it a couple times before it all went to hell
You have to get the drugs somewhere so you can get high enough that cooking them seems like a good idea, so yes.
I wish there was a way to do it at home, in my case for body hair. Shaving is a no go with dark hair because it’s immediately noticeable and I also typically start to get all pimply because the hair bores into my skin and the inflammation leaves dark spots for many months. That means, the longer I do it, the more I look like some diseased freak. Can’t even do partial shaving on lesser spots either because it leaves a hard cut border to the rest, which looks ridiculous. lol
