Hi,
I've been using an epilator now for 20 years plus , no hairs remain on my chest or my body and those that do re-grow are weak and feeble and are easily removed.
I went through the shaving phase, the red rashes &  razor stubble, then moved on to chemical hair removal but suffered skin burns and blisters from the chemicals. I settled on the epilator and went through the hair removal pain barrier. It took quite a while for the pain of epilation to subside but i found that using talc on skin before epilating really helped and i didnt suffer with red spots or stubble. Nowadays there pain is minimal because any re-growth is so week and feeble. I guess if I was starting out now i would explore laser hair removal .
