My epilator. I decided I was done with waxing after I dropped the entire jar of wax on my bathroom floor and spent an hour trying to get it all off. Epilating is a lot more convenient, quicker, and cost efficient. It does absolutely wonders to remove my unwanted body hair. It hurts like a bitch the first few times you use it, but after you get used to it, it's amazing.
Tips for next time (if there is one):
The reason why he still has hairs (and probably hurt like a maniac), is because it wasn't done correctly and just broke off the hairs instead of ripping them out. Tell him to use gentle soaps for a while, and some coconut oil or scentless, light moisturizer to heal. Don't wear tight clothes, and don't touch it!! He's going to be super prone to zits/ingrown hairs for the next 12 hours now.
Two bits of help:
1: Get a Lady Gillette or a similarly long handled razor. You're going to want to get that kind of Leverage as there are a ton of curves down there and dancing around to get the right angel will result in a nasty nick.
2: Home waxing kits like this aren't half bad. My Fiancee uses them regularly.

I recommend going slow with hand tools. Buy them one or two at a time, and then learn to use, sharpen, and care for those before buying more. This will help you get the best stuff for you while spending as little as possible. Let your projects guide your tool purchases.
Amazon isn't a great place to buy hand tools. Most people shop at either Lee Valley, Lie-Nielsen, or eBay for planes, chisels, saws, rasps, etc. That said, there's a surprising amount of stuff you'll need that's not the tools themselves. Personally, I wouldn't want to saddle myself with an inferior tool just to use a gift certificate.
Anyways. Stuff you SHOULD buy on amazon:
Hand Tools
Clamps
Measuring/Marking
Sharpening Gear
Consumables
Safety Gear
Have you considered laser hair removal? I also have fair skin and dark hair (so I've had similar problems) and I just learned a few months ago that the combination of light skin and dark hair makes you a prime candidate for laser hair removal. I found that several companies sell hair removal systems for home use that are FDA approved. The systems don't use lasers per se, but high intensity pulsed light. The light energy is absorbed by melanin in each hair, which warms up the hair and destroys the follicle so it doesn't produce any new hair. In a few weeks, the hair falls out and doesn't grow back again.
I ended up buying the Remington system off of eBay for around $110 and a new bulb cartridge off Amazon for $15. I've seen great results so far. I've used it on my calves twice and I have much less hair growth -- there are a few places were no hair grows at all and the hair that remains is thinner and grows slower (the hair follicle is likely already dead, but it's just taking awhile for the hair to get pushed out). I've also used it on my underarms and there's much less hair. I was somewhat skeptical at first, but I'm very happy with the results. According to the instructions, you need three hair removal sessions spaced two weeks apart to see the full results. I started my third session last night but the bulb died so I just ordered a new one for $18. The way things are going though, I think three sessions will be enough.
I had no idea that home hair removal was a thing until a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd share. I estimate I'll spend about $150 overall, which is well worth it.
I use this one.

[ingrown tweezers] (http://www.amazon.com/Tweezerman-Stainless-Steel-Ingrown-Splintertweeze/dp/B000EMYHA8)
Get yourself a one of these I’ve used mine for 10 years. My mom and sister both use them after I bought them their’s. It’s not a blade, so your fears of “shaving” are taken care of. It won’t cut you. It’s like a tiny beard trimmer. But it takes hair off right down to the skin. I shave my side burns, lip, random chin hairs that may pop up. It’s a great tool.
I know right...I think something like this may be in order.
LET'S DO THIS.
NAME: Bad Girl Cosmetics
BEST SELLER: Matte lipsticks named for badass chicks. Who doesn't want Eleanor Roosevelt's Ginger Dignity (a bright orange) or Sybil Ludington's Midnight Ride (a vampy plum), or Laura Jane Grace's Against Melon (a creamy melon!)
SLOGAN: Who run the world? GIRLS. And then after a nasty lawsuit with Beyonce - Ladies Doin' It For Themselves.
Item!
This is what I use. There is a small attachment that I put on when using it on my chin. I'm not a huge fan of using it for legs or underarm (it really does hurt) but I LOVE it for my chin. It takes a long time for hair to grow back, and I can run it over my face on a daily basis. It takes way less time than plucking and you don't have to wait as long between as you do with waxing. When I waxed, I felt like my chin hair was very obvious before enough of it was long enough to wax.
I have pcos and some great facial hair going on. I use an epillator on my face. I like it better than wax because it doesn't tug at your skin, and its reusable. You don't even need a lot of regrowth before you can use it again unlike wax - you have to wait until it gets long. I like a double headed rechargable like this one http://www.amazon.com/Emjoi-AP-18R-Emagine-Opposed-Epilator/dp/B003YSL9LE
that pocket/hole was kind of a shock. I guess it's just where the pus built up, but it squeezed out the side of the area. Looks like there was another ingrown right next to the hole.
May I recommend some special "ingrown" tweezers? They were a favorite of a guy who had a massive channel devoted to ingrowns: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EMYHA8/ This isn't a commission link - I just genuinely love mine - they are great. They can get something that tiny that regular tweezers can't. A bit pricey but worth it.
I mean I guess I could cut my own hair. I’m just bad at it. In my area, 35 is average for a cut. It comes with the wash because I think it’s easier on the stylist to deal with it wet.
Yeah it does cost money to wax. It lasts a little longer than shaving and it makes your hair finer and easier to deal with. I can’t wax my brows because of an old scar (they won’t do it over scar tissue for some reason). Some women need a full face wax. They grow hair on their face and they want to be accepted.
I just? I’m not sure I could wax my whole face on my own if I needed it and do it well. I didn’t go to school for that. I could end up with terrible skin irritation because I did it wrong or used the wrong materials. Obviously I don’t pay people to shave my legs and things because that’s daily maintenance but the other things you mentioned? I’m not sure I could do those on my own if I needed them.
Just for curiosity’s sake I did look up how much it might cost and what it would entail to wax on my own:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008XLEXRO/ref=psdcmw_16261985011_t1_B07GDJRMT1
If you don’t want to do all the research to purchase a warmer, wax, sticks, and other supplies separately, you can get a kit. If you decided to get all the best products separately (because they’re all different brands and can’t be purchased at a discount in a kit) it’s a little more expensive. Anyway, the most highly rated kit (meaning most reviews so best review avg) is about 46 dollars.
I mean you’re right, it could be done at home but it still costs time and money. Once the amount of time to do it is factored in, is it more worth it to do it at home? I feel like I’d be in the bathroom all night and still fuck it up.
I feel like the key word in you argument is exorbitant. And yes it may seem exorbitant based on how you personally value the service but according to the market and comparing it to doing it at home, it’s not technically exorbitant. Women don’t choose these prices and the services are somewhat socially forced upon women. I understand your point. I just hope you can also understand that I do a lot of research on these topics not just looking at a price schedule at a salon. And I can’t speak to how your wife makes these purchases or why she feels you should make purchases a certain way but I can say that based on social norms and market value, there’s very few choices for women. You’re right we could reject those choices because they aren’t great but dude then we’d end up like hippie girls with hygiene that’s just not to the standard we like. It feels like that’s the only choice we have: pay market prices or feel not so hygienic.
I use a bikini trimmer
That's the one I use although I dont think I paid quite that much for it! There are other brands too. I had a Remington one before this one and it lasted at least a year and was very inexpensive so I didn't feel bad when it finally died.
I too cannot shave with a razor, it gets all irritated and bumpy and itchy and awful. I used to get bikini waxes but I would still get ingrown hairs and it was way too expensive (I'm a college student, so there are other things Id rather spend money on)
I really like the trimmer because it gets you darn near hairless, very smooth, and I never get any bumps.
Epilate. Its nowhere near as bad as you're imagining.
If you have $100 get the Emjoi AP-18R
If you have $50, try the Remington EP6025C
It just works. The only part that was painful was the penis shaft area. You're on your own as far as how much of that you want to yoink with a machine. The rest was nothing.
But get this: I was incautious and I fed my scrotum deep into the mechanism and guess what happened? Nothing. There are no blades and none of it is sharp. I just pulled it out like it weren't no thang.
I do not seem to be having any ingrown problems weeks later and much less hair seems to be growing in then was there previously.
That was the first thing my mind went to as well! I was pissed when discovered that this was a thing about five months after my kid was born. It would have come in reeeeeeeeally handy during those last few months
If you wax it will be a little painful at first but so smooth and wonderful for weeks and weeks. Surgi-wax is your friend!
I made the most amazing razor extender by duct taping a razor to a long wooden spoon - looked ridiculous, absolutely worked! I've used it three times now in the bath and shower and I honestly think I'll use it post-pregnancy too. You can also buy purposely made ones like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Giraffe-Bath-Body-Extension-Handle/dp/B00HXQP3VA/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485511674&sr=8-3&keywords=long+handle+razor
but honestly, the duct tape/wooden spoon thing was free and totally worked. I actually look forward to shaving right now, which I never thought I would at almost 41 weeks...
I use the Gigi wax kit. It's pretty easy.
I'd say I prefer the lather made by Arko, just a little bit more, but then again I really like the menthol and eucalyptus added to Proraso. I regularly use both in my weekly rotation, and I'd recommend that you try them both for yourself. If price is an issue, Omega shave soap is the same thing as Proraso, made by the same people, but cheaper.
EDIT: Also, if you're sensitive to menthol, I'd test the Proraso on your arm first. Some people have an unpleasant experience with Proraso because of this.
Here are some things that work for me:
Hopefully that helps a little bit. I have found that pushing through a little bit of razor burn was worth it as my skin got more used to the shaving. But, from day to day, things tend to vary.
TMI Warning:
This costs an arm and a leg but is worth it's weight in gold. If you notice, it's an epilator and not an electric razor, but it has an electric razor head that's ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for what you're listing. Given a good cream, you can really go to town without any fear. Like really go if you know what I'm saying. In my 4 years of using this thing, it has never once cut me using the razor head.
Now, the epilator head is also fabulous, but I would have to be a masochist to use it on my nether regions. However, it is great for the underarms and the legs! Now, the greatest and my most favorite part of all of this is that it can be used both wet and dry while being electronic so usage in the shower with your shower shaving oil or whatever is perfect!
Again, I cannot recommend this thing enough. It is steep, but I haven't bought a single razor in 4 years.
The answer to your problems.
I had a braun epilator in the early 2000 and it sucked! and they were expensive at the time. So in 2010, I bought Emjoy Emagine Epilator and it was a huge difference how better is was. Faster, didn’t hurt much and it is still going strong to this date.
I don’t use it much on my legs since I had laser hair removal, but I still get some hair growing due to health issues and It is still working perfectly. I even used it on my face and it worked there too.
The only thing that is not as good as before, is the cordless function. It is a rechargeable device but now it doesn’t last on a charge as it did before. I just keep it plugged in.

I can't speak to waxing, but shaving your back isn't that difficult if you get one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003NCXXIS/ref=sr_ph_1_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466431511&sr=sr-1&keywords=mangroomer
The only at-home wax I've EVER gotten to work (tried many) is Surgi. This one is amazing for bikini line, but I'm betting it'd be effective on legs too.
To be honest, the type of wax contributes to the pain level pretty significantly. I have gone to get it "professionally" done and ended up bruised and with some lingering hair that they missed...and out 45 dollars.
I got a home kit that was the same thing: it hurt like crazy, bruised me, and the wax wouldn't come all the way off, so I walked around with this weird sticky feeling around my junk.
The problem, I found out, is that most salons and home kits use soft wax, which is the gooey stuff you need cloth strips to rip off your skin. I had a friend recommend hard wax instead, and I was skeptical, but she told me it was way worth it.
http://www.amazon.com/Gigi-Brazilian-Waxing-Kit-Ounce/dp/B002EP9OUG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397714623&sr=8-1&keywords=gigi
I was totally shocked at how much better it was. It took a bit of practice to get it right, but totally worth it. The wax doesn't stick to your skin as much as the soft wax, it's way easier to rip off, and it doesn't hurt very much. I should qualify that, it DOES hurt, but it isn't bad at all. The trick is to do it in small patches at a time, and because you wait for the wax to harden on your skin, you can prep multiple places at once. Plus since you pull the wax itself off, you don't have to worry about running out of cloth strips.
The trickiest part is figuring out how to reach certain places, but once you get a little flexible it's great. Smooth skin, no red bumps like with shaving, and the hair grows back "thinner" as time goes on. It might be cheaper than shaving too, especially if you use disposable razors, but I'm not sure.
The downside is that it takes way more time than shaving, and a lot more patience and prep work (heating up the wax, prepping skin, etc).
I bought one of these last year and have LOVED it. With that type of wax you don't have to worry about the strips. Just smooth it on and rip it off.
It's much more reliable temperature wise than microwavable waxes too. :)
I have a ridiculous amount of facial hair; side burns, upper lip, chin, etc. I have an epilator that I use on my legs and arms http://www.amazon.com/Emjoi-Soft-Caress-Epilator-Hypoallergenic/dp/B001EAYZEW/ref=sr_1_8?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1394044432&sr=1-8&keywords=epilator but when I tried it on my face, I got bumps. Even when I get my eyebrows waxed I get bumps which turn into pimples and last a week or two. I think I'm going to try a hair removal cream since it looks like threading or even using the epicare would just irritate my skin.
If your hair is light-colored you might not want to pluck/wax it. When the hair is hormonal such as from PCOS, plucking it out from the roots can cause it to start coming back in thicker and darker. I would just shave it off if I were you (using something like this maybe), since you wouldn't have the issue that darker-haired people have of seeing the follicle under the skin.
I use Finishing Touch, which isn’t perfect but doesn’t hurt at all and doesn’t cost as much as waxing or threading.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FRVA8O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rH53Bb5TDH2J2
The One Touch is this consumer device, sold under a couple of names, but literally the same thing.
If you're actually interested in this route and the sort of person who asks "Mind sending me schematics?" (Good on you!), check out forums like HairTell's DIY Electrolysis subforum. Many people who are serious about doing this at home but who cannot afford (even a pre-owned) professional machine will make a couple modifications to the One Touch to make it more practical. (e.g.: At the very least it would be nice to have a proper on/off switch, but changing out the tip so you can use pro-level needles is also popular.) Not the most active site, but still full of good info.

My wife likes to mock me with this.
From Amazon reviews it seems they've changed their formulation recently. Have you used the new one?
I would start by shaving all your body hair. Buy an Epilator from Amazon I reccomend the Amazon Epilator ok, then I would keep epilating the whole body. The belly is painful but trust me it's Soo worth the effort. You can epilate anywhere on the body. IPL removal is helpful but you must keep doing it and might as well Epilate too. The Face I would reccomend professional Laser hair removal. It's $$$$ though. The Epilator will do a fine job on most the body. Anyways get one you can plug into the wall cause you will want to do it often for a while.
You could try one of these:

This going to sound crazy but have you tried shaving your face? I don't mean with shaving cream and razor like a man. Watch this video by Melissa Raymond on YouTube to see what I am talking about: http://youtu.be/0hClHFTnCCA I get a little peach fuzz on certain areas of my face and this helps me get rid of it. Once I'm rid of it, I notice my foundation goes on a lot smoother and looks flawless. If you're leery of using the "razor" in the video, you could try something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Finishing-Touch-Lumina-Lighted-Pivoting/dp/B000FRVA8O/ This sounds crazy but it works...at least for me.
try waxing! The hair will take longer to grow back and it will get easier the more you do it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001A43ELC
My solution:
I'm going to second what the other commenter said and suggest you pick up an epilator. it hurts like hell, particularly the first time you use it, but it leaves you so smooth for such a long time, its totally worth.
Here's the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DG740RI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
A bit spendy but it works really well and has a bunch of cool attachments, and with epilators, you really get what you pay for. The cheap ones aren't worth the plastic they're made of.
I have dark (but peach fuzz fine) upper lip hair. I've had wonderful results with these.
I think if your hair is thick they may not work too great, but this is my go to brand. The strip is super soft and flexible. I usually tear the strip on half before warming it up with my hands giving me 4 pieces. By cutting them in smaller pieces I'm better able to position the strip to target all the small areas. Also, they don't need to be warned up all that much. Over melting the wax causes the strip to separate, leaving the wax behind on your lip. If this happens, don't worry, coconut oil or jajoba oil works wonders in removing wax left behind.
I hope this was helpful to you or our other xxtrolls!
I've used a back scrub brush with soap, a loofah with soap, fancy mango sugar scrub, and used coffee grounds. The first few days after I did it my shins had sideways ingrowns that were annoying, but after getting more regular with my exfoliating they are mostly gone.
It's all personal preference, I think. My favorite method so far is a quick soap scrub with the brush and some post shower super creamy lotion I got from Bath and Body Works on mega clearance for 3 bucks.
This is the epilator I got--it works but someday I'll probably try a different one to see if I can speed up the process. The first time I did it it took more than an hour for just my lower legs. You can use it plugged in, which is nice.
It really was painful but absolutely worth it. I don't have the itchies anymore, and I also don't have chewbacca legs either!
A couple years ago I purchased a Parker 60R kit and Shaving soap. Along with it, I purchased a variety/starter set of razors that had varying razors from different manufacturers.
I've always had issues when shaving my neck. I can never get a close shave without causing pain and bleeding. I've watched and read multiple tutorials and tried many different blades out. I still cannot get a good and non-painful shave on my neck.
A while ago i switched back to using cartridge razors because I can get a closer shave with less (but still some) pain, but it still isn't a good shave imo. Is there anything different I can try in the realm of safety razors?

I use the emjoi because it was well rated on amazon and wasn't a bank breaker. https://www.amazon.com/Emjoi-Soft-Caress-Epilator-Hypoallergenic/dp/B001EAYZEW/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1484946798&sr=1-4&keywords=emjoi+epilator
I, too, have gone through several. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Finishing-Touch-Lumina-Lighted-Pivoting/dp/B000FRVA8O/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474734965&sr=8-1&keywords=personal%2Btrimmer%2Bwith%2Blight&th=1. I've had it for a year, but the blades are now dull so looking to replace.

It's kind of hard to get the hang of it at first. I watched a lot of videos. You can't really do your whole face yourself because it's so hard to see in the mirror, but I used it on chest hairs which were a lot more sparse and for touch-ups. It leaves welts sometimes (lasts three days or so) which I didn't get with the professional job.
The only one I know is: Clean + Easy Deluxe Electrolysis Home (For Coarse Hair) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00011JN5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nm2vDb3Q0620M
I have one, it works fine though it's a bit cheaply made. The bad reviews are mostly people who don't know how electrolysis works.
There aren't lot of areas of your face you can do yourself though, as the positioning is hard.
Here's a pretty little luminizer and look at these cute little cat tweezers!
I'm sorry about your foot :( I've never broken a bone, so I have no idea how painful it must be!
They actually make electric trimmers specifically for that area. I have a Phillips Bikini Perfect, and it's great.
I have done large projects with Hama Minis. Don't tape method with Hama Minis. The height is way too inconsistent for this to work.
Do be sure to double check the height of every single bead you place. Especially with the lighter colors, some beads can be shorter than the actual pegs. Be sure to buy more of these than you need. I found about 10% of mine to be too short or too tall.
Make sure your iron is set really low. I mean really really low. The boards warp too easily, though they also easily flatten under weight.
Be very careful prying your sprite off of the board after you iron it. Whatever you do, don't over-iron.
Big sprites behave VERY differently from small sprites.
The pegs on the board snap off very easily, especially at the corners. ALL of my boards were missing at least one corner when I received them; presumably this happened during shipping.
Regular tweezers are a horrendous pain. Get yourself a pair of really nice, needlenose tweezers like these. The investment is worth it, even for single board sprites.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll edit if I think of something else.
I find that the shaft hairs and the hairs above the pubic bone don't actually hurt to pluck. Maybe they hurt the first time but they don't hurt at all now. In fact I've plucked enough that they just kind of slide out with a gentle tug.
Always pluck in the direction of the hair. If you don't get the root or the hair breaks off at the base you want it to keep growing in the right direction.
Plucking after a hot shower is idea. Exfoliate your junk in the shower and then pluck when you get out. I use one of those nylon loofahs and scrub the area I pluck every time I take a shower. It exfoliate the light skin grow that can begin to trap the newly grown hairs.
Get a good pair of tweezers. This part is critical. Most dudes don't even own tweezers and if they do they are probably some shitty pair that came with a little grooming kit somebody gave them as a Christmas present when they were a teenager. You need to invest in a good pair. I have two pairs that I use... the Tweezerman Stainless Steel Slant Tweezer and the Tweezerman Stainless Steel Ingrown Hair Splintertweeze. They make extremely high quality tweezers with a lifetime guarantee and free lifetime sharpening (if they ever seem to lose their gripping power you can send them back and they'll re-grind the tips for you).
The first tweezer should be your everyday tweezers. The second, the needle tip ones, should be for in grown hairs and careful use once you've gotten good at using the regular tweezers. I've gotten crazy good with the needle tip ones can I can do my entire tweezing area in a matter of minutes with a creepy spider-spinning-a-web like efficiency. If you start off with the needle ones you'll probably end up accidentally stabbing yourself in the sac. Still they're good to have on hand for the occasional ingrown hair.
On tweezing your sac: You can do it... but be prepared for a little more pain, a little more bleeding, and a marginally higher chance of ingrown hairs. The hair follicles on the sac are very close to the surface and the scrotum is blood vessel rich. The follicles are also freaking huge. Be prepared for a little bleeding when you first do it as those roots come out like you're yanking bath plugs out.
I'm trying to think of any other tips hmmm. Oh... hold the skin with a little bit of tension but not too tight. If you hold it too loose you pull the skin up pretty good when you pull the hair and that can smart a little bit. If you pull the skin too taunt the hair usually breaks off halfway down or annoyingly close to the skin. Experiment with a medium tension.
Edited to add:
Now you may be asking yourself, after reading this far... "God damn? Is it worth it?"
Yes. Yes it is.
I have all the benefits of a nice smooth shaft and pubic area without the regular irritation of shaving (plucking doesn't irritate my skin at all). No matter what the area is soft and smooth (even when the hair grows in it is growing a brand new hair and not pushing up a jagged piece of stubble). Your SO will appreciate it (my wife, for example, liked the shaved look but hated how, even after a good shave, there was still some irritation on her vulva/vaginal opening because of the residual stubble).
Give it at least a month to get used to it and do a good job thinning out the hair. After that if you decide you hate it... you'll at least have nice silky new hair grown to show for your effort instead of a stubbly angry bush.
Thanks again!!! I also notice there is a newer version out there, so I might just go for that...
Considering the amount I was planning on paying for laser hair removal (and hearing about how it could grow back afterwards), I figure to get a variety of dedicated products:

Do you have the slanted tweezerss? Like this or this or more expensive set that has 3 different types so you could see what works for you.
One of the slanted pair came with mine (like the single one above) and it worked fine i though.
I use Gigi's Brazilian hard wax. You can order the kit on Amazon for about $40. It comes with the Brazilian wax, the wax warmer, a nice amount of wooden sticks, and pre-epilation oil which really helps with the waxing process. It's sooo worth it. I've recommended the kit to a couple of girlfriends and they are very pleased with it. It is difficult at first, but I totally suggest reading tips from the Amazon reviews so you become familiar with it. Here is the link:

I use this Phillips Bikini Trimmer because I prefer trimming with the shower going. The build quality is nice, and it's also wall charged!
Initially, I bought this which failed miserably. My hair was too straight/flat for the trimmer to properly cut, and the cutting mechanism... pulls(?) the hair a bit. That was not cool. Unfortunately it wasn't exactly a product I felt comfortable returning, haha.
It depends on what your needs happen to be.
I've tried pretty much every type and brand, due to my notoriously thick, dark hair. I prefer corded units because they are more powerful. I've found that after a year or so, the rechargeable units tend to lose power, and they start to hesitate when they grab on to a firmly rooted hair shaft. This causes pain. The best thing is to have a quick, efficient extraction.
Wet/dry models are rechargeable, so if you have thin to normal hair shafts, these are great because they are so versatile. I use this on my fine arm hair about once every three months or so. I have settled on the Panasonic ESED90P which always works great.
For my legs, I rely on a 10 year old Epilady. They don't make that model any longer, but when I replace it, I'll get another Epilady.
I started with my brows. It hurts... but it's a good hurt! (It only really hurts for about 2-5 seconds. Then it's just a little achey after.) I got some of the ready to use waxing strips for my brows, tried one on my leg and it wasn't bad at all! I'm going to order this because hot wax is the best ever. Also does a much better job than the little strips like these.
Sadly, I have not actually purchased one yet. However, I have my eye on this one from emjoi, I like the purple one too, but it's costs more and the only difference is color. They also make a black one, if that's what you're into.
Now this is a dry epilator, so it has to be used outside of the water, after soaking would likely be best, to soften the hairs and skin.
There are also wet/dry epilators like the BRAUN Silk-Epil 7 which can be used in the shower/bath, but I've heard they are a bit too rough for more sensitive areas like the bikini line.
For when you finish, there are after-epilation creams that are supposed to slow regrowth and sooth the skin.
Also, epilators are essentially electric tweezers, so if pain is a problem, you should probably not use one.
My current routine is to use a safety/straight-razor and that takes forever anyway, and then the hair grows right back all sharp on the ends.

Not sure how well this would work on a face, but they make tons of razor extenders to aid women with shaving legs. This one I know is adjustable in length and angle, so I think it's probably one of the better options for shaving a face.
I have this epilator but it seems outdated because panasonic has this new one for sale.
Honestly though, for legs it hasn't been the best. Maybe I just wasn't doing it right but instead of pulling the hair on my legs from the root, more often half of it would be broken off at the skin while the other half was from the root. It's great with underarms, however. Downstairs area.. I tried once but it was far too painful. As for your legs, though. Have you considered waxing? I wouldn't fully recommend a epilator for legs.
Waxing isn’t a big deal. I encourage you to find a local waxing salon the first 2-3 times. So you have an idea of how the process goes. Once you have an idea a basic kit is cheap .

A can of wax is about 15$. Takes about an hour once you get the hang of it and lasts about 3 weeks. Way smoother, less irritation and ingrowns.
Just remember you want HARD stripless for the below the belt areas. And powder everything before hand.
Hello lovely,
Please don't feel depressed. Removing hair is not a societal necessity. I hope that taking these steps to remove something that bothers you makes you feel beautiful and strong- not subverted. Have you tried hard wax? As another poster mentioned, surgiwax is also great. I'd recommend disinfecting the area with alcohol, using a clean wand for the wax and using some 2.5% BP after to keep the area free from germs that cause break outs. Exfoliating is an important step, too. I've struggled with bacne since puberty and its so devastating that I used to cover myself up. A gentle cleanser and salux cloth have entirely eliminated that problem for me. Chin up, beautiful. <3
This is a great starter hard wax setup here: http://www.amazon.com/Gigi-Brazilian-Waxing-Kit-Ounce/dp/B002EP9OUG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1414336558&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=hard+wax

Here is the kit I bought. Hard wax works well for me. I've had it for about 3 or 4 years now and need to seriously consider replacing the warmer. It works but the temp control is kind of messed up now.

I have a kit a lot like this one and have had it for years, and have never run out of wax. It takes a while to get the hang of it, and you're probably gonna wax off more than you intended at first, so make sure you've got a good brow pencil handy! But once you've got it down, you'll wonder why you ever paid anyone to do it.
I bought mine about 6 years ago, they don't make the particular model anymore. It has a cord and looks pretty ancient by current standards. I think it cost around $50 at the time.
Whenever I buy something on amazon, I just sort by rating and buy something that has 4-5 stars and sells well.
Edit: like this one is probably fine, looks similar specs to mine: http://www.amazon.com/Emjoi-Soft-Caress-Epilator-Hypoallergenic/dp/B001EAYZEW/ref=sr_1_9?s=hpc&amp;rps=1&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1421699660&amp;sr=1-9&amp;pebp=1421699707445&amp;peasin=B001EAYZEW

Hmm..things you haven't though of, here ya go:
First, get a half dozen rounds of laser hair removal. Wait till you find a deal on groupon or other such site to get them cheap.
Second, now that the hair is gone, you need to keep it from growing back. Take one of these pills daily, one of these twice daily, and one of these daily.
There may be certain...side effects...but it should take care of your facial hair problem quite effectively.
If you have more time then money, you can also use this.

Oh hey there again username cousin!:D I'm gonna have to go with these nice pair of tweezers.It's only $1 with shipping and everything.yay cheap tools!
Cat tweezers! OMGCATS! The item I want matches your phrase perfectly! Thanks for doing this!!
Edit: stupid me forgot the link
I got a Remington one (link), I liked that this had more tweezers (42 vs some that had in the 20's or 30's), and it also had good reviews. Mine did not come with the face attachment, but I would be too scared to use this on my face.
I am LOVING it for my underarms, no shaving and that perfect smooth, no stubble look.
I am jumping on that cute cat tweezer. It's so cute ;_;
I've never waxed before or anything but I really hope to get rid of the stubble from body hair and hopefully get smooth legs. Any time I shave it will look decent for like a day then I get terrible razor burns no matter how careful I am. It would be awesome to have a properly smooth body.
This is the one I am planning to get since it is so highly rated.

That is the dry one I use. It has to be plugged in, but the cord is fairly long.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UTD2CNG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1

Own the same pair, these are amazing.
Totally worth it.

Face fuzz/down grows downward usually.
So when you’re done applying foundation, go over your face one more time (same tool or a clean brush whatever you please), going downwards/with the “grain” of the hair to brush it all back in place.
Go easy on the finishing powder, if you use it. Powder loves hair. Hair hates powder. I like Sephora’s powder foundation best (or the old school Candlelight Glow by too face RIP</3 if you ever find it for sale online? Get it tho)
And/or use a little face trimmer thingy, I’m not particularly fuzzy but my brows don’t know that and I get a ton of down trying to join up with my hairline between my brows and temples.
I’d rather that not be a thing, so I’ve been using this cheesy/wonderful product since I was a teenager. I’m now 34 and am only on my third, so if you go that route, it’s definitely worth the $8
For my money, this might be the best deal on them in general: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DG740RI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
it has a ton of attachments, and it works really well. The cheap-ass epilators are going to give you exactly what you pay for.
Also, read these instructions on how best to use it: http://www.epilatorcentral.com/epilator-tips-how-to-use-an-epilator/
Also: It IS going to hurt, especially the first few times. And it might cause some irritation - my legs felt sunburned for the first day. It DOES get better. I promise. :)

Have no idea about whether there is health risks or not.
I’ve had this for 3 years now, but I don’t shave my head smooth. I use the clipper end with no guard once a week on my head then with the guard to shave my beard. The other end work good for manscaping. I paid $50 for mine on sale. So you may want to wait till the price comes down.

Either this shaving cream or this stress ball from his wishlist would be great!
A gift card to go towards a video game for him would also be wonderful! :D
Thanks you for the contest! I hope you have a lovely day! :)
That makes so much sense, and I wish it wasn't true. Cost of one and a half waxing appointments = this. I'm pretty good with pain; not much compares to squeezing out some babies. Waxing is painful already—does an epilator hurt more because it's slower?
milkshake! thank you for doing this contest! <3
Blue topaz allll the way!
I love the color, it's down from 4.94 to 2.92 or something, and it's really pretty :) I can't wait to see what you come up with!
As for me, I'd really like this burn concealer cream, or a suggestion for a better one because burns. Theres a buying option that's not an add-on at the bottom!
Or 100% this. I do my own eyebrows and as a thick eyebrowed woman, I needs my lifeline (it just broke :( )
Happy Hooker s are the best hookers.
Are you US? I bought this one :http://www.amazon.com/Remington-EP6025-Recharegeable-Epilator-Attachment/dp/B003H6FPVI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1372113836&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=epilator
about a month ago and used on my legs once and hated it (it just takes too much time for me). I cleaned it and it's been sitting on a shelf ever since. I would be willing to sell it for $30 (shipped) in Amazon credit or would be willing to trade for size Medium /US size 8 gothic/vintage/rockabilly/anything unique dresses, shirts, or skirts. I would consider jewelry as well.
You can check my history and see I've traded successfully on r/closetswap and on r/snackexchange .
Mug and brush is more of a European phenomenon than an American one, at least for now. But yeah, there are a whole bunch of different options regarding soap, brushes, razors, and blades.
A few years ago, I got a very nice, Chinese stainless steel razor free with a large pack of Derby blades that I'm still using. This was shortly after my foray into mug and brush shaving. Since then, I've tried Omega soap I still use the plastic container it came in for my "mug."
After that, it was some Herban Cowboy I got at the supermarket for $4; it lasted over a year of daily shaves. I liked it but they stopped carrying it. So, I bought a 12-pack of Van Der Hagen shave soap from Amazon for about $15 (price has gone up a bit since then.) This stuff is great; it doesn't have quite the longevity of the Herban Cowboy, but it's even cheaper.
I've been shaving this way for about the past 10 years, starting with a hand-me-down safety razor from my father. Along with the much reduced trash output compared to using compressed shave cream and disposable razors, the thing that really got my attention about the mug and brush method is how inexpensive it is. I'm spending less than $10 a year to shave.
You can get a waxing kit on Amazon. Works great!
lucky - blonde fine staches are like my dream. black stache here. and unibrow. i use this well a non-lighted down graded version. It doesn't work as well as i'd like. black facial hair on very pale skin is evil. :/
https://www.amazon.com/Philips-HP6378-Bikini-Perfect-Trimmer/dp/B00440F3GS
I'm not sure if it is "waterproof" but the box says wet or dry use. I've used it on damp hairs without problems.
There are a lot of cool nail art thingies on Amazon for under $5!!
These little nail art gems are a great deal, plus you can even get the tweezer thing to put them on with, all under $5!
Amazon rocks and so do you for hosting!
You can use the mangroomer
or the norelco bodygroom plus*
*plus is important because it comes with the back extension. I've used both and they both work well. The norelco gets a much closer cut tho.
Long time reader, first time posting. I'm an 18 year old girl and I personally find body hair on a woman disgusting and I have been shaving for the longest time, even when I'm not hooking up with anyone.
I understand your concern for razor bumps. If you continue shaving everything, I suggest putting on First-Aid ointment (like Neosporin) after and once a day in between shaving. This will make your skin a lot smoother and reduce the look of bumps.
Or, if you decide you want to trim instead so you don't get bumps at all, I suggest letting it grow a little bit and use scissors to trim. Then, use this. It's $9 and a great investment. You can do your bikini line and some fun design like a landing strip. It's great because you don't get irritated and you can use it all over your body; I use it on my arms and eyebrows. Hope that helps!
For the past several years, I've been using the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 7100. Use oil before shaving, and lotion after shaving - ball shaving is basically the same as face shaving.
It would be extremely difficult to hurt yourself with this thing. I have had only one minor cut in the years that I've had it, and that was from shaving too quickly.
I use an older version of this one - https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-ES-ED90-P-Epilator-Attachments-including/dp/B00DG740RI/ref=dp_ob_title_hpc?th=1
It's pretty good, would recommend.
I absolutely love with (this one) [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DG740RI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nBZCCbG6GSKT0]. The same thing with less attachments would be fine, depending. The pedicure attachment is nice but not necessary. The trimmer is also not necessary if you have one already.
The second "frame" for the main head is really helpful, I switch back and forth. The bikini one is also nice, taking the full-sized head to your pubes the first is a bit much. However, you can edge around as you trim with the full size, it's just not as easy.
It's pricey but 10,000% worth it, IMO.
Here is the one that I used to use. Just a word of caution since I stopped using it and went back to shaving:
On the upside, when your hair grows back, it is finer than shaving.
I just did a bunch of research on this like two days ago! For my purposes, it came down pretty close between this Panasonic and this Braun. I picked the Braun and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.
I've thought about getting an iLIGHT just for my ear hair. :P
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CHHO46/
I'm not sure if you mentioned that you've had them done professionally in the past, but do go at least once or twice to a reputable waxer so you'll have an idea of what to expect, regarding pain. Try to wax or get waxed a week or so right after you finish your period (it tends to be most painful before or right after your monthly.)
http://www.amazon.com/Gigi-Brazilian-Waxing-Kit-Ounce/dp/B002EP9OUG this is the kit I purchased when I wanted to start out trying my own... some takeaways:
Best of luck!!!
Was it this one?
I know they have razor extensions, did anyone try one of those yet? Thinking I might as we move in to the summer. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Giraffe-Bath-Body-851000005003-Extension/dp/B00HXQP3VA
I've been good I swear!!
This electric razor has worked awesome to avoid irritation/itching.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01LPT25MA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WpiPDb6KEQBR8
I use it in the shower then rub one some non scented lotion after. Smooth and itch free.
Hope it works for you boss!
There are cool machines that do it fast. I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Braun-Silk-%C3%A9pil-Epilator-Electric-Packaging/dp/B06WGLSRPZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?keywords=epilator&amp;qid=1570551477&amp;sr=8-12 and it’s one of my favorite purchases ever
I’m a fan of the this one!
I used [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Easy-Deluxe-Electrolysis-Coarse/dp/B00011JN5G/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482215936&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=electrolysis) one, but I do get pimples and some scabbing and redness after I use it. I probably turn it up too high, so use at your own risk. I only use it on VERY small areas because it is not very easy to use, and it can vary in effectiveness depending on whether or not you inserted the needle thing right. Just some warnings!
Summer has never been my favorite time of the year and forget going to the beach! Stupid hair!
https://www.amazon.com/Remington-iLIGHT-Hair-Removal-System/dp/B005CHHO46 for non permanent results that lasts about 3 months if you stop zapping.
Yeah, I'm using this. It's a daunting task, and I may give up on the more difficult areas of the face. No problems with skin damage so far though. My motivation is such that stabbing myself in the face with a needle-ish thing 1000s of times is hardly an obstacle, for how much I want the beard gone. My biggest concern is getting good results, and I feel this is the best way to do that, at least given the mediocre hair removal professionals I have access to in my area.
As someone who has experimented with all kinds of ways of getting rid of back hair, I wouldn't recommend Nair. As others have said, Nair has a really awful chemical smell that has a tendency to linger even after you shower and wash it away, and you still have the same problem you do with waxing/shaving, which is that it's impossible to reach certain areas on your back on your own.
After years of trying everything under the sun, I highly recommend buying a Mangroomer. It's a little pricey, around $50-60 bucks, but it is super easy to use and is quality made, not flimsy at all. It's basically a back scratcher with an electric razor on the end. A lot of the reviews on Amazon say that the electric razor isn't powerful enough but I think those people just don't know how to shave. I have a ludicrously hairy back and I manage to get it all off on a regular basis.
TL DR: Buy a Mangroomer
I started with this one because I didn't want to invest the $40-$50 bucks in a warmer kit if I was terrible at it and it hurt way worse. After doing it a few times, I'm def buying a warmer pot because you do have to microwave those a few times in the process since it starts to harden. Luckily its only $15 so if you hate it, you haven't lost much. I'm sure you could even find 1 box at a store for like $7 or $8. I'm just spoiled by amazons fast delivery. :)
I think you'll pick this as the item you'll purchase with this order
Happy happy cake day
Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil I have been yearning for this for quite awhile. I need this to help contour my pale face. It sucks because the regular chocolate is available in many sizes, but this is only available n the full size.
NYX butter gloss I just got one in anther color and the colors are beautiful, but the texture is super sticky! So I could hold off on this item without complaint.
Waiting for?Epilator I know it's gonna hurt and it costs a lot, so I'm waiting. But I need it, I'm a super hairy gal,and fuck shaving everyday.
The world could do without this but if the world could get rid of why this item exists it would rock.Scar treatment it would be great if everyone could have their dream skin! But alas I am all scarred up and I need this miracle.
My OH has a thick dark mono brow which i wax for him using microwave hot wax. This is the stuff I use on him. I wax his eyebrow once a month(ish) and it takes seconds (not counting the time it takes to heat the wax. The small tub has lasted over a year. If you use an orange stick (the kind you use for manicures) you can apply it more neatly and you don't have to use any strips. I also use it to neaten up my eyebrows occasionally and i don't have a problem using it on myself. My husband finds it hurts/is annoying much less than plucking (or having me pluck) and he is a complete baby about pain.
Show her this. There are several things like it. May be worth shopping for longer lasting or permanent hair removal.
Panasonic ES-ED90-P worked fine for me. Not the cheapest, but it has a lot of other extra features, and worked well for me!

Surgi-Wax is a great at home treatment kit, I use it all the time.
I've had the same problem. I liked waxing, but it's painful, expensive, and doesn't last. Shaving with a regular razor is terrible! I use this guy. If used properly, it gets you baby-smooth. Doesn't last super long, but it also doesn't irritate at all.
I use an Emjoi AP-10R for normal use, AP-9L for detail work (stubborn chest hairs, behind the knee since I started HRT...loose skin in the big epilator fucking HURTS)...they've worked just fine for me for two years now.
Also, I'd recommend an exfoliating body wash to help prevent ingrown hairs.
I know the basic Omega Shaving Cream has menthol and eucalyptus in it. It's pretty similar to Proraso in that regard.
$1.19
Any idea how it compares to this: http://amzn.to/1dF67m8 ?
I recommend nads hypoallergenic facial wax strips. They're pretty dang awesome.
I use these sugar facial hair removal strips. They're really easy to use, you wash the area where you're removing hair (so it grabs the hair and not the oil on yor face), warm the strips up between your palms or behind your knee for a couple minutes, peel the strips apart, apply to the hairy area, brace yourself and pull! It stings but it's not horrible, and it's probably a lot less work than trying to use wax yourself. After a while, the hairs grow less.

Sure, ask away.
We purchased one of these and so far it is working great for us.
They say it gets ride of hair for several months, but it looks like that is just the length they have proven to the FDA.
You will have to retreat after ~6 months when the next "phase" (not sure of correct word) of hair follicles comes out of their dormant period, however it seems that you just have to treat each "phase" with one series of treatments.
Even if we had to retreat a couple of times a year it goes really fast, and the cartridges are cheap.
TLDR; If you have the right skin/hair tone, well worth the $250, at least for us.
When you get some money maybe look at this boar brush for $12. Here are some excellent cheap soaps that would last you at least six months Van Der Hagen Glycerin Shave Soap Omega Shaving Cream
I got these and they work better than most wax strips for me. They clean up easily, and didn't irritate my skin too much. I'll take what I can get!
