I plucked out every hair on my face
It started with my upper lip - I got tired of shaving that bit, so I took a pair of tweezers and, while watching some movie or whatever, plucked out every little hair. It was quite painful - the worst ones are right near the nostrils.

Then I started doing the rest of my face. It takes a long time, and can be painful (near the nostrils and around the jaw line are the worst). It seemed to get less painful after my second go.

It's neat having a smooth face, and one that remains smooth for days without having to do anything. But it's easy to start idly touching your face, thinking, "Ooh, that's a lovely hair to pluck", and giving yourself a spotty complexion from all the face-pawing and tweezer-gouging. It would probably be quicker if someone else was doing the plucking.

It only lasts a couple of weeks before hairs start coming back, and if you stop doing it it becomes painful again.

I'd happily do it again if the hairs would stop growing for a year... but twice a month isn't worth it.

Wax
Nuff said. Wax it, and it'll pluck out almost every hair at once.

Of course it'll be absolutely painful. but worth it.
