The Pain vs The Gain

The Braun Silk Epil Xpressive (oh please, who is in charge of naming these things?) is the latest uber-epliator. If you don’t know what epilating is, it’s a system of hair removal that involves a multi-tweezered machine ripping out hairs from where-ever you choose. Hurt? Oh, man, does it hurt! BUT, it really does work. It’s the most effective form of hair removal I’ve used, and gives a just-been-waxed finish without missing a single hair. Impressive. At £89.99 (Boots), it’s a cost-effective way to deal with your fuzz issues for good. Using it on legs is easily bearable but armpits are for the bravest only.
