I tried it because I wanted to try the no-shadow look before doing laser. I went to a professional waxer. It was so extremely, unbelievably painful I was sure I would never do it again on full, thick hair. I had to grow the hair for a month and even then a good number of hairs broke off instead of getting pulled. All the hair grew back after a couple of weeks. So I wouldn?t recommend it. I might try it for the fuzz left over after laser because it?s so thin

I agree.  It was counterproductive because i had to wait and let it grow out to 1/4 inch before they could wax it again - so it looked like heck for almost three weeks between waxing!  I looked good for about five days after waxing but then looked bad for the next three weeks. MUCH better to laser or go MPB to avoid the horseshoe look.  BECAUSE MY HAIR IS GRAU LASER WAS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME - SO I WENT WITh SMP and IU am very happy with it!

I guess it's really not worth the money, effort, and pain. I will just shave for now, even it's a chore. Beats styling my hair every day and going to the barber every month.

I would advise against lasering the facial hair for a couple of reasons.  Quite opposite of head hair, facial hair tends to improve with age.  That means new hair may "sprout" after the laser treatment, requiring you to shave anyway of get more treatments.  The second, and most important reason IMO, is that you will retain the option of growing a beard or some facial hair option other than the mustache.
