MEGASTUBBLE - those weird thick hairs

[metalangel]

Or, as I've discovered, it's called this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pili_multigemini

Sometimes they defy my razor. They are very stiff (they don't have the 'split end' effect in the Wiki pics) and seem very easy to pull out.

The reason I've looked this up is I had a painful spot on my jawline yesterday that gave generously but didn't seem to be doing much. Tonight I examined it more closely in the mirror because I seemed to feel something rough in the middle of it, and sure enough when I squeezed one of these thick hairs poked out (and retreated when I released)... so I grabbed tweezers, and seized the thing and removed it.

Anyone suffer from these weird hairs? I invariably find that if I touch my face and think I missed a hair shaving that morning, it's one of them.

I think I have maybe two points where a single hair always grows thicker than the rest. It's no biggie though, I just pluck it out if ever I notice.

[ThoughtContro...]

The wild tree trunk eye brow hair. Grows far longer than any other, in directions no other eye brow hair can go. Needs plucking whenever it magically appears. It's firmly rooted in tho.

Checking for these things is a part of my shaving routine - I got just such a bump and went in with tweezers yesterday. This was an ingrowing hair though and was almost an inch long - very satisfying to pull out.

I had a clear hair about 8 inches long grow out of my back a few years ago!

Odd.

Yup, you're not alone on that. J4mes' back beard is a bit weird, though.

I also get weird plastic-like white hairs that really hate being shaved.

J4mes: you're not alone, I had a random hair sprouting out of my side a few years back, it was about three inches long.

I've got some hairs on my chest that appear to come from the same follicle but they don't hurt. They are generally jet black.

Everyone will seen this by now but I imagine its awesome to pull out.

Had one of them right next to my nipple. I shed a manly tear while plucking it!
Seem to suffer with ingrowing hairs on my nips too. Quite therapeutic digging it out and plucking it, seeing the hair go from a microscopic black end, to a good inch or so long

I've got blonde/brown hair and occasionally discover that one jet black hair that's longer than the others, awkwardly satisfying to pull out.
