Hot shave
A bit smelly, but there's nothing better. | |
A high power flash-gun is held close to the skin. It gives a very high temperature for a short time, and the hair is burnt off. The skin is OK, since it has water, and heats much more slowly than the hair.
Patterns in the hair would be easy, since wet hair would take longer to burn.
Some good aftershave
is required, to get rid of the terrible smell.
I think it might also be useful for nasal hair, eyebrow, and pubic hair removal. But someone else should test it first.

I've read, but not really believed that some Admirals in the US Navy shaved w/ a blow torch. Is this feasible, if not painfull? |
|
| |
If my facial hair gets longer than 1/4 inch it's painful** anyway w/ an electric razor. |

(SOrry. A crazy 70's memory made me do it.) |

You certainly could trim a beard with a blow torch. (They used to use candles to singe beards to trim them in the 19th century.) |
|
| |
However, having applied a blow torch to a finger, I really couldn't recommend it as a method of shaving. (The finger did heal, without scarring, eventually.) |
|
| |
Oh, yeah, likewise on the shaver hurting when the hair gets too long; in that case, I simply use the trimmer first. |

[bigsleep] - it was probably that greasy, flammable tallow-based moustache pomade you insist on using. I don't care if it smells like freesia, it is dangerous stuff! |
|
| |
Um, I used to reduce my armpit hair with a cigarette lighter. It took a careful hand and a very good exhaust fan, but it left smooth ends on the hairs and enough length to not look like I'd been shaving. A shower took care of the smell. |

ever heard of a flashburn? |
|
| |
This is the manliest way to shave short of punching a badger while holding it near your face. |
