Has anyone tried epilators. Thoughts?
I started shaving recently and it looks better when I have lycra on, and just feels sleeker. And I've recently gotten a few compliments from women on how healthy my legs look. But... And when I use a razor my legs are all prickly a couple days later. Has anyone tried epilators? I heard they do a better job than both razors and electric shavers, in the matter of minutes... but I don't want to permanently damage my hair follicles. So epilator once in awhile for a thorough job and razor for the usual maintenance? Thoughts?

Maybe Facebook Caitlyn and ask her what she's using these days.

When I first read the thread title I thought it was about elliptical cranks. How I wish it were.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
I've honestly thought about it. I'm fairly hairy and just 24 hours after a leg shave, I'm very prickly. I'm not sure I'd want to bother with waxing appointments. I don't even know where to go or how much that would run.
There's an eppilator on Amazon with good reviews for only 30 bucks...

I've been shaving my legs for over 30 years ... and I've never tried epilators. No thanks!!
Shaving only takes a few minutes in the shower in the morning ... and then you can happily wear your skirts to work.

Ew shaving. I'll just continue to be "that guy" in the group with man hair on my legs.

Cecil the lion never shaved, and people who didn't even know him wept when he died.
Just sayin'

Anyway, all I can say, is those Israeli women must be tough.

This thread has tons of potential!
Note: it's always best to NOT ask questions about shaving.

Nair. Smelly but painless.
