Using a rasor, I would have to do it every day... Find this much more useful: http://www.braun.com/global/products/be ... ation.html
I do use it once or twice a week.
btw, where do you end with shaving? I can´t withstand a single hair from my toes till my eyebrows :?
I used to care, now I take a pill for that.

Epilation & pain - I found out that if you use some depilation cream on your intimate parts few times, new growing hairs become much more softer here and aren´t so painful to epilate then. Moreover, there isn´t so much new hairs at all if you use some epilating mashine at all, so it´s getting only better. It´s only hard to begin with, that´s all. :roll:

Has anyone tried the electrical systems that claim to permanently remove hair?

Do they work?

Not sure... ask some Texas - riders. Heard they have even some special chair made for these purposes. Should be VERY permanent :lol:

Just kidding... sorry :oops:

Actually, I´m not sure about these "permanent" methods. Are they really permanent? I heard that even laser therapy is effective only for some longer period of time (I was told a year or two). So there´s a question, if it´s worth the money aked for? (does anybody know exact price?)
