I just got the Braun 7921 epilation and exfoliation system yesterday and of course eagerly charged it up and then rushed into the shower to remove that pesky hair from my chest, tummy and legs.... OH MY F****** GOD!!!! My hair was 1/16 of an inch above my skin and I was yanking hair roots out more than 1/4 of an inch long. Some of them I swear were attached to my spine and tried to drag it out with them kicking and screaming. VERY painful. Then I got the bright idea to do my pubic patch which I normally just pluck out manually... yeah that won't happen again. After the first 20 seconds of excruciating agony I gave up on that idea and will go back to manually plucking out those hairs.
The backs of my knees and my inner thighs were also very very unhappy about having their hairy brethren forcefully removed and let me know all about it. At one point I literally could only stand to run the epilator head across my skin for an inch or so at a time (I'm VERY hairy, Chewbacca has nothing on me) because of the volume of hairs I was having to remove was so painful to do.
After doing my chest and tummy and one leg, the battery ran down so I had to charge it back up to do my other leg. The um.. anticipation.. of that pain was... well... not pleasant but I am stubborn and was determined to get this done. By this time I was covered in lovely little red bumps all over my body looking like I had chicken pox or something... and sadly.. i still didn't manage to clear all the hairs. For some reason some hairs simply refused to be picked up by the epilator even after repeated passes from different angles. Guess I'll pull those out manually.
Just a side not... Pulling hairs from your groin area manually is a tedious process but much less painful than a slow pass with that epilator... Just.... Holy Bat Banana's Batman! That s*** hurts!
I am looking forward to doing it again as this morning all those lovely red bumps are gone and I am.. for the most part (barring those few recalcitrant hairs), smooth and silky.
