I picked up the Braun epilator and love it. Hurts, but worth it. I have a confession though, I use a numbing topical cream first..

And, just came here to gloat. After 2 hours straight, I just finished my whole face! Hurt like hell, and just downed some ibuprofen.. I have some facial cream to help with the ingrown hairs, and I'm pretty good at exfoliating. Took a lot of mental control on minimizing the pain. Had to keep thinking about exactly what it was doing and a lot of, "how bad would this look if I stopped now?" thoughts.

Wonder if the counselor will consider me officially crazy now.

Hurricane, it's a bad idea to epilate your face. Aside from the risk of in-grown hairs, it can damage the follicles so that later, if you go to an electrologist, it will be difficult to insert the probe. No electrologist would recommend that you use an epilator on the face.
