I’ve tried shaving my leg hair a few times now, but it takes an hour or two just to get back with stubble within roughly two to three days at most. Also for some reason my skin just can’t help get irritated, no matter how much I exfoliate, apply lotion afterwards, all that stuff. Because of this, I’ve been looking into other options

  • wax seems fine, but having to buy new stuff each time sounds like a pain
  • shaving cream sounds too good to be true, but from what I’ve read it also really messes up your pores, so I’d rather not

And so I landed on epilators. Since masc hair is a bit tougher though, I’m wondering if any of you have recommendations of epilators that actually do the trick? I’ve read a few reviews of some and every now and then you see a review along the lines of “I’m a man and it didn’t work properly for me since the battery ran out before I was done” and since I’m not on hormones or anything, I assume my hair growth is similar-ish, meaning it wouldn’t be much of an option for me either.

So again, do any of you recommendations for good epilators? And if not, do you have any shaving tricks or generally other ideas for how to get rid of leg, or even better, all kinds of body hair? I loved the feeling I had after shaving my legs, it just sucked that it lasted for two days and then I had about a week’s worth of leg itching, despite trying my best to do avoid that.

    I would 100% recommend professional laser instead if you’re happy to save up. Its far less painful than epilating, much better than shaving as well and after 6-8 session you’ll be far less worried about hair as it grows back so thin.
