I shaved my chest a few times, but hated the prickliness that resulted a few days later. Then one day I tried the epilator I had been using for my pubic region. The sensation of a silky smooth chest was incredible—I had a chain of five nipple orgasms in a matter of minutes. That sold me! Over time the epilator permanently eliminated 99% of my chest hair.  If necessary I simply use tweezers to pluck out hair at the edge of the areolas.
