Shaving or epilating? I shave mine all the time , at least twice a week. While I epilate my chest, I haven't saved up enough tears to epilate my underarms yet.

I epilate my arms. After the first few times it gets less painful.

From another forum I found the advice to wax first, then use the epilator to maintain. That worked for me, except the Nads stuff I used to wax at the get go was like fly-paper and left a goo behind. (nothing that WD40 wouldn't take off, though.)

I have the Braun model mentioned earlier in this thread. Works great.

The one thing I found that makes a huge difference is to exfoliate about three hours before (and I mean SCURB that skin till it's pink!) This took my ingrown hairs and bumps down to almost zero.
