Yeah, that Epilady was a horrible invention, wasn't it? I got one for Christmas the year they came out, and I was in tears before finishing one leg. I've had a couple of electrics from Norelco and Braun, and they took a lot longer and stubble seemed to reappear within a few hours. Waste of money, IMO. (DH has hated every electric shaver we've gotten him too. If we won the lottery we'd have his face laser-depilated.) I've always wondered though... do other women really hack themselves up with regular razors that much? I've been shaving on alternate days for the past year since I've been at the pool so much. I use plain old Dr. Bronner's soap or even my shampoo and either a Gillette cartridge type or disposable razor, and it has been at least 25 years since I've so much as nicked myself. I'm not a particularly slow/careful shaver, either; I'm more about getting it out of the way fast and it takes me maybe a minute to a minute and a half per leg. When I first started shaving my stepmother started me out on those "Flicker" razors (recently discontinued, bummer, although you can still find them here and there) that had the ultra-fine wires wrapped around the blades to prevent nicks - those were pretty cool for a 12yo just getting the hang of the whole thing.

Ninja all the way!!! �Crush ice into snow in seconds �Blend frozen fruits into creamy smoothies �Chop fresh ingredients evenly - no more mush �New more powerful & 2X faster I am on my second one but the first was used basically every day for the first year. I have the set of three bases each is handy for certain jobs. When it came on sale a few months ago I bought the second set as a gift, but ended up using it actually just last month so the first was almost three years old, I could and still might look into getting it repaired as it was only a small plastic looking piece that held the blade that got worn out.

Lucky people that have less hair now that they are older. I have more and on my face it is coarse in spots. I used to find that what are sold as mens razors were more effective at removing my hair. I think it may be that some of the blades are further apart and angled differently. I have started having my legs waxed although the last time in October my hair has grown back strangely. All over long soft hairs but on the surface just now growing enough to be removed thicker, coarser hair. Not very coarse but coarse in relation to the rest.

I've had a couple of electric shavers and went back to safety razors. My Remington worked the best of the two. When using electric shavers, I had a problem of developing skin rash and irritation and these shavers do not work as well as a blade. A safety razor with Barbasol shaving cream worked the best for me. The Barbasol lather is very good and the least expensive plus you get a good face wash. The best buy in disposable Gillette safety razors is the large pack at Sam's Club. I have used a Gillette holder with double edged blades as well but found there is a greater hazard of accidental cuts with these. The cuts occurred not while shaving, but at other times.
