Face? I just shave frequently. I've read that is not good to epilate or tweeze the face, so I don't. I epilate everything else though, except the scrotum, and then shave to get the short hairs that the epilator can't grab. PM hasn't slowed my body hair growth at all, and it's actually causing my scalp hair to regrowth (Yay!), but I plan to add Spearmint to my regimen next week as an experiment.

BTW, anyone find tweezing extraneous hairs on your breasts relaxing? I do it almost every evening just for fun.

What epilator brand would you recommend? I'm wanting to get one.

Jenn,
I own a Panasonic ES-WD51. It's cordless and waterproof so I can use it in the tub or shower. It works pretty well as far as I can tell, but I have to go over an area multiple times to get all the hair. It needs a couple of millimeters of growth to grab onto, so stubble still has to be shaved if you want to be smooth. I have no idea how it compares to other brands.

I do get ingrown hairs, though, using the epilator. They leave little red dots on my skin that I hate. I was hoping that would correct itself, but so far, no.

I'd like to get a good laser to use on my body hair which is still dark, but the cost is a barrier and I'm still not sure what works well. The 'No No' is a piece of crap. Anyone have personal knowledge of a good laser? A decent laser will run around a thousand US or more. That's still less than going to a professional over time, so maybe I'll save up. It won't work on my face though, too much gray.

Getting rid of hair is a big part of being trans. It's a real PITA!
