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.

I am absolutely convinced that epilators were designed by men to torture women in the most painful way their evil little minds could imagine... some engineer somewhere is sitting drinking his cognac and giggling to himself over all the women he is torturing w/o having to raise a finger.

On a side note.... you did your face? Just wow. Ouch. I have a high pain tolerance but not THAT high LOL.
