Okay now, Tweezerman Smooth Finish is very much a personal preference – it’s a coil for hair removal (you twizzle the two rubber ends and the coil contracts to pull out the hairs). Personally, when I tried it, it was phenomenally painful, and that was going to be my post – don’t go there – BUT I met two people yesterday who absolutely swear by a similar product called Tweezy and don’t find it painful at all.
I guess you could say that both Tweezerman Smooth Finish and Tweezy are the midpoint between tweezing and threading – you’ll need to get fast at twizzling pretty quickly in order not to suffer, I’d say, and it could be that I just hadn’t got quick enough before screaming and holding my face, or it could be that I’m just a big baby in the pain department!
When I look at the testimonials, it’s also a mixed reaction – some say it’s pain free and others say it’s painFUL – but all say once they’ve got the hang of it, it’s brilliant for facial hair. It’s certainly very accurate, and actually I thought it might well be the solution for anyone whose eyesight isn’t up to spotting individual hairs for tweezing, and it’s definitely far less fuss and mess than waxing, grabs more hair than tweezing, so other than the pain, it’s got everything going for it. I need to be brave and have another go, but I’m not ready… not ready! Tweezy is HERE and it’s £10; Tweezerman Smooth Finish is launching in a couple of weeks time and is £20. If you decide to give it a go, please let me know what your experience is.

I think this is the kind of thing that you need to use a few times to build up your pain threshold. Just like threading/waxing are painful initially but they get easier as you do it more and the hairs become less strong! x
I’m a huge baby about plucking but I guess this would take less time so could it be less painful in the long run??

Sounds kind of like an epilator as in the half way point. A good idea, but not sure the pain would be for me as I hate threading. Interesting post though, you’ll have to let us know if you carry on using and it becomes less painful at all.

Love this- recently reviewed it on my blog too! It’s painful but it’s still amazing 🙂 x
Love using this!! The first few times it hurts a little, but you get use to it.
I have something similar and i swear by it! It is amazing for facial hair. Now, I must admit that it hurt like hell the first time and it still does when it has been a while since I’ve used it, but it is brilliant! It picks up every last strand of hair. I swear.
this is a brilliant little device. it’s quick, easy and convenient. A little painful yes, but nothing really major. Bang on a splodge of sudocrem and it’s all done!!!! I will be curious to try the tweezerman version, to see how it measures up against the original.
I have a version of this and I find it quite painful but I’ve read good things about them so want to presevere with it!
The thought of this makes me shiver. I imagine it’s pretty painful!
I guess, it’s like with any other epilation: the very first time gives you tears and screams, but after getting used to it pain is barely there. “Practice makes perfect”(c) 🙂
I use the tweezy and the first time hurt but only because I had a full on tash lol!! Now I use it every few days to just get the old couple of ones and it doesn’t hurt! I much prefer it to going out and getting a tash wax or threading as I didn’t want to walk around town with a red tash and now I get to do it in the privacy of my own house – bonus!
It sounds like a good invention but I can definitely imagine it to be painful! I much rather stick to the pain of waxing! Newgi49.blogspot.co.uk x
I use a similar thing and some days it doesn’t hurt, and others it stings like anything! Not sure why that is. Maybe I’m more or less of a baby at different times of the month 🙂
That looks really interesting. I kinda want to try it.

If you want to try it out but without the expense, I bought one from ebay a couple of weeks back for 99p, just type in Epistick, same kind of thngs x
I tried the original version of the Tweezy and definitely works better than the cheaper dupes on ebay. Its quite cheap considering the regular visits to get a wax or threading. I haven’t looked back since!
As others have said, first time is a little bit painful but its no more than plucking eyebrow hair! What a cool little thing! I want to try it, sticking with my Braun for the time being 🙂 can’t beat it! Great blog! http://www.missshavealot.co.uk
