I use a Bic sensitive razor myself, but I don't know if your Mom would like it.

I have this small battery operated razor. It doesn't hurt my skin..

Plain cheap disposables for me. Chin and upper lip are the easiest areas of all to do in the shower, without a mirror.

I just use the disposable for the chin hairs. Use lightly, and no skin issues.

I have a finishing touch also, plus the "yes" works very well too.

I use a men's nose hair trimmer: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000O5VKK0/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687542&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0002D5Y92&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=18FY38RG6YMDTM81C2B8

Two girlfriends kept borrowing it, so I bought each of them one. And one for husband. Love this thing!

Thanks for the leads. Her skin just tears so easily, so it needs to be electric/battery. Last time she tried a razor it tore her face up. Kathy G in MI

can someone please tell me if they shave everyday or have to, and if they regret for whatever reason that they ever started shaving in the first place TY

I have the Panasonic facial groomer and I love it. Battery operated, very safe.

I have had it for several years and haven't had to change the battery yet.

Not everyday, only when I remember to check to see if there are hairs. I use a nose trimmer also, but I need to find something with a little more power. I guess I don't regret starting to shave because what is the alternative? Pluck? ouch, Bleach? have a bushy white upper lip and cat whiskers coming out of the mole on my lower jaw?? Maybe laser, but I think it's expensive at least around here.

My BF bleaches sometimes and it looks awful. I mean really awful, the bleaching doesn't look good at all if the hair is long - moustache and beard long. She told me one time "but if I shave, it'll come in black". I agree, but.

Her hair will only come in black if her hair is naturally black.

I'm not a good one to vouch for shaving because my hair is very fine and fair. Shaving, of course, hasn't changed that at all but perhaps if my hair was coarse and dark, I wouldn't be satisfied with shaving every few days.

I'm surprised at the number of women who shave. Notwithstanding the OP's dilemma with her mother's fragile skin - I'm wondering why the rest of you don't just wax (I do).

I run the trimmer whenever I start feeling a little bit of peach fuzz on the upper lip or on my chin. Takes 10 seconds, once or twice a month. No biggie!

I ise a REM spring from amazon. No razor needed! The knock offs don't work.

Regarding waxing, my skin is sensitive and the one time I waxed my upper lip, it was red and swollen for hours afterwards. I'm totally with angelaid on this issue, though ten seconds may be twice as long as it really takes. :-)

My hairdresser waxes my brows for me, my $10 indulgence; but I would think waxing the upper lip or my mole would be an owee like rhizo says. Actually I only have a problem on the sides of my upper lip, not the whole upper lip.

Oh, edited to say that my BF's words were " it will come in dark", not "black", sorry.
