Wow.
Painful. :laugh:
Effective though.
I think I will use it in sections due to the effect it has on my face.
I think the endorfuns released due to the pain was somewhat exhasting.
I will recover and then finish the other sections.
I did my cheaks. Somewhat easy once tha pain was gotten used to.
I rccomend starting at the top in a bare section and moving down.
there is no way arround the pain as far as I can tell.
I will look into getting a topical numbing agent for future use.
I think that might solve it.
Yarrow root would work, but I don't know where some fresh is and I need the liquid to do it.
Hmm. I might try the inhouse pharmacy and see if they have anything for that.
I have a friend of mine who is a doctor and she might know of somthing.
Ah well. Painful.
In any case it works and works well and is effective.
There is the mess; this will send hairs all over your mirror and sinktop in your bathroom.
Wow. Messy.
But otherwise a success.

I believe that the device could be outlawed by the Geneva convention as an instrument of torture :P

I had thought of that.
It certainly could be used for that.
Not many could take it,

HEY! I just used an epilator on my face too!- but this isn't the first time- like 3-4 and let me tell you, I'm astonished my the results!
At first it was painful- but after that it's a piece of cake!- especially if your on HRT. My hair is comming out much lighter and softer and i can go like 2 weeks with no epilating. I'm going to keep doing it!
I made a thread about it when I first did it too, what a coincedence? :laugh:

Ouch! Damn I'm glad I never have to do that again. The worst is the upper lip. I never got used to that.
I still have my epilator though. I use in on my legs every 6 months whether I need it or not.
