Customer Review: Smoother-than-shaved and it lasts longer than shaving
Summary: 5 Stars
Very few things make my list of favorites but this little item just did. This little pain-in-exchange-for-beauty-&-convenience device has several rows of tweezers, which are the metal parts in between the purple separators. They open up at the bottom and close as they come over the top while they spin around in separate directions, grabbing and tweezing out numerous hairs fairly rapidly. It has 2 operating speeds, fast or slow. (3 only if you consider OFF a speed)
I'm a shaver, not a waxer, I'd estimate my pain threshold as about average, but I wouldn't so much say it hurts as much as really stings, even on my underarms, which really surprised me because I was expecting a lot of pain when using this, especially on my underarms. The more hair you have in a given region the more you pull out at the same time and naturally that hurts more than when there's fewer hairs to remove. Also, it hurts more to pull out longer than shorter hairs, I'm not sure why. It's definitely helpful to stretch the surrounding skin taut to make the hairs stand up a little, but they still don't tend to come out in one pull. It can sometimes take up to four passes with hairs coming up a little more each time until they're out. I also noticed it did better and hurt less on thicker, stronger hairs rather than finer ones; still, I was surprised at how well it worked on hairs that seemed like nothing, barely visible in the first place.
Initially you may be looking at a significant time investment to get to the point where you're as smooth as shaved, for me it was about equivalent to the time I spend in an entire week of shaving spread out over a few days. It's a really odd feeling, going from stubbly to smooth without an actual shave. I got about 3 to 4 times more hair removed than if I shaved, without nicks or cuts, giving me 3 times longer to go until I have to remove those hairs again. Six days later I went to touch up and was hard put to find anything to remove. My legs and underarms are actually smoother than when shaved and have stayed that way instead of getting stubbly within a few days, and that's why this made my list of favorite things.
Now for some recommendations:
Before you use this, let your hair get to a lightly stubbly but not overgrown state, once you use it you can gauge for yourself your own best level. You can start using this while the hair is still shorter than when you might normally shave, and its best that way because even though you will have to use it for a few days to get all the hair as it cycles through growth stages removing less hair at one time means less pain, and that's especially important when you're first starting out.
I would also recommend showering or bathing and exfoliating the areas you plan to remove hair from first including washing off deodorant from underarms but make sure your skin is not wet or damp when you start because damp or wet skin is more pliable and that means pinching and pain during use. I have seen models that are cordless and state they can be used wet but I can't imagine why you'd want to do that since it's bound to hurt. I've run this thing for long periods of time (up to 45 minutes) but never had a problem with jamming, probably because I clean & exfoliate my skin first and clean the unit out after each use.
The first few times you use this your skin may become irritated and bumpy, so I would not get this to use immediately before a big event or trip, I would want to give myself a minimum of 2 to 4 weeks to get used to it, especially since you may decide you don't like it. It takes some time to get to that as-smooth-as-shaved condition, so I would plan on using it over the course of a few days to reduce irritation and give some time for hairs to cycle through their growth stages and become long enough to remove.
