What brand do you use?


NuSkin's Epoch Ava Pui Moni Shampoo.


But if I really want a silky smooth shave, I'll scrub my legs with their Liquid Body Lufra (with walnut husks) first, then use the shampoo for shave gel.

Oh, yes, the scrub should always be a first step. I'm a bit cheap though--I just use those scratchy green towels.

For those of you who have color treated hair, do you find that Korean water bleaches out your color? I've only been back in Korea for a week now, and my brown color is drastically fading! And when I previously had blonde highlights, it quickly turned brassy.

Has this happened to anyone else?
It's happened to a few friends, but I suspect the fading had more to do with the quality of the dye they use here.


I would agree with you, but I had my hair colored at a salon in America. I had it done immediately upon my arrival, and the color lasted 2 months. I had the same application the day before returning to Korea, and within a week the fading began.

krats1976, then this will really make you wince. I also use it on my face sometimes. I doubt I would if I had sensitive skin though. Very Happy

If you do write a letter, write it cleverly enough that they send you some of the unsold stock of the old stuff.

Somebody mentioned razors before, which got me to thinking...does anyone else think razors available in Korea just don't cut the mustard (so to speak)?

I only use Shick or Gilette but find that they go blunt much quicker than they used to back home.

Has anyone else had the same problem?

Yes, I think that they get duller faster....but perhaps my leg hair has gotten stronger due to all the multi-vitamins I take to avoid the colds my kindy kids are bent on sharing with me. Laughing

May I just take this opportunity to say to all who have responded after tzechuk (the first respondant) you are too late. My question was answered and I find all the discussion of leg hair to be.....shall we say, icky? Too much information. Speaking for all males on the board (self-appointed), that is not something we want to know. Mystery is often best left as a mystery.

As someone who does not shave his legs, I would like to know if anyone can anyone suggest something else to do with my useless bottle of rinse? That would be practical information. And no, I don't want any info on car lubricants or sexual substitutes. (Should I ever turn tranny, I will keep the leg-shaving info filed away. Thanks.)
