I don’t know what your facial hair looks like (how much, how dark) so I’m not in a place to say it’s vanity. If it makes you self-conscious then you are probably spending a lot of time thinking about and worrying about what you look like, I think that is vanity. By taking care of business on a regular basis, and hopefully this is a basic part of your grooming, and thus, don’t spend time thinking about yourself and what you look like.
The same thing could be said about shampoo, deodorant and anything other than basic plain soap.
I don’t see a problem as long as this expense isn’t taking away from your obligations, especially to your family. At-home hair removal is a dicey prospect - sometimes good results and sometimes not so good. If you are concerned about the recurring expense, you could look into some of the more permanent solutions. More expensive up front but cheaper in the long run.
i do waxing. i could live without doing but i wouldnt feel very good. i feel “fresh and clean” when it’s gone, like a shower. i just feel sloppy when i leave it. it is dark, on the thick side and noticeable.Also, consider if it’s truly unattractive or off-putting. Do people comment or seem distracted by it? Then it makes sense to remove it. How do you feel about yourself with or without the hair (I’m talking about your dignity as a child of God)? If you are okay with yourself but just wish you didn’t have to fuss with facial hair, I think your are okay, but if you hate yourself with it, that is another matter. Culture is a major influence when it comes whether or not facial or body hair is attractive and consider that in some cultures your natural growth would be very attractive and preferable. Love your self as you are, but if you think you need to modify something so you can perceived more favorably with shallow strangers, then just do it.
If you are male why cant you buy a disposable razor or electric razor and shave your own face instead of paying someone else 50 dollars a month to do it?
Simple answers - shaving leaves stubble which is IMO worse than facial hair and horrible to apply make-up over.
Have you tried sugaring? I have had Alexandria body sugaring done professionally but I also use Nair Naturally Smooth Warm Wax for my underarms and Nad’s facial wand eyebrow shaper at home. Neither are a true resin wax, it’s water soluble so it’s easier and safer to use. I pay attention when I had it done professionally and do what I can at home.
My sister, who has PCOS, has this same problem. She gets regular facial waxing, too. I think it is good for her to do it. She likes how it makes her look and feel, and she is not at all vain, in my opinion. It is just part of her regular grooming habits, except she has professional help with it.
Why not buy your own electric razor?
This doesn’t really make much sense to me. I mean, God made me with hair under my arms and on my legs. Does that mean it is vain for me to shave or wax the hair? Should Christian women be compelled to all stop removing any body hair, since that is how God made them? Should Christian men be compelled to grow out a full beard, no matter if that means that they can no longer be a chef, or a surgeon, or a engineer in a clean factory? Should we all grow our hair out, even the men, like Samson, and never cut it?
