Fuck razors, epilators or waxing.
These things are fucking amazing. I mean sure the effect only lasts a day or two but holy shit it cuts way closer than even a razor and there's no need for a lubricant, you don't even get razor burn or a gross rash like when waxed hair grows back.
You could spend 20 minutes every 2 days doing your whole body and be smooth as fuck all year round.

from what I've heard, it should last longer than two days. like a few weeks iirc. maybe you just have fast-growing hair
anyways, is there a good, affordable epilator available online? I need one to de-winterize my legs
also, is there a good infograph or something on waxing your face? I know basically nothing on that

I'm talking about the shaver head attachment for epilators, stubble starts to grow after a day or two for me.

I bought a Phillips Satinelle for £10 off ebay, it's 4 years old but works perfectly.

I just shaved my legs for the first time and I love how smooth it is, but I cut myself fairly badly and obviously the results aren't going to last very long. How effective is Nair? Does it get absolutely everything? Does it get the hair down to the root and last longer than shaving or does it just remove the hair from the surface?

I fucking hate people with soft, slow-growing body hair. If I shave with something like that, I'm prickly again within six hours. Even using an actual razor so it's as close to the skin as possible, at most I get 12 hours before I turn into a goddamn porcupine.

This :(
But my skin is also incredibly sensitive and I cut too easily when shaving, so the best I can do is run a foil shaver over most places and then just get the tougher areas with a razor.

The only reason I don't shave more is because it's so much goddamn work and precision with a razor, it's so much to keep up with the face/crotch/ass/legs that I feel like I have to spend hours every couple of days to stay smooth.
I use a razor, and I think I'm allergic to Nair due to some reactions I've gotten from using it.
Will an electric razor actually help me

Electric razors will still leave you stubbly, and maybe it's just me but I get much worse irritation from them than using a razor.
I don't know much about epilators but it seems you need to actually have hair growth for it to be able to pull out the hairs, so it can't be used to stay constantly smooth.
I think the only way to be as smooth as possible is to get a full body wax somewhere, but I have no idea how expensive or time consuming that would be.
Fighting against body hair is a losing battle and I give up :(

Yes and no, the No is using general purpose epilators. The Yes is a very careful use of "Bikini Zone" Epilators on the lower settings. Avoid using it on the area around your lips use a tweezer for that, I suggest loading up a video to help pass the time. Also post epilating skincare is crucial if all is done right you should only have one day of redness that can be easily masked by make-up if you so choose.

No, unless you already have thin hair IPL isn't going to do shit for your hair. Better pay sesions with Alexandrita-type laser, that shit removed ALL my face hair and I'm just in my second session. Paid $400 for 8 sessions, but it really worth it.

Stretch the skin to make it as taught as you can, The redness comes from the razor dragging the hair which stretches the skin which irritates the follicle leading to redness.
Avoid shaving against the grain if you still get red bumps.

Doesn't an epilator require some hair growth to work though? I would want to be smooth all the time. You're right though, I think I'll give up this cute malarkey and starting working out to be more of a man.

Ok so apparently ingrown hairs are still a problem with epilating. I exfoliate before and after epilating but they're still growing back under the skin. see pic related of my leg, it's fucking terrible.
I'm seriously ready to give up. I thought epilation was the cure to my hairy problems.

No.243745

I can only epilate when I get the opportunity of an empty house so it's usually quite rushed and I don't get much time to finish but I try my best to do it properly.
I exfoliate in the bath the night before and epilate in the morning. My leg is usually really red and sore afterwards so I rinse it with cold water and exfoliate a little with a cloth, pat dry with a towel and moisturise to finish. I never get completely smooth results, it still feels a little rough and stubbly when feeling against the grain, but I contribute that to my cheap epilator.
