    Actually, that's the way folks around me have always said that. I was about to say neuroscience but it just felt... wrong.

    Rocket surgery. It's not rocket surgery.

    You can use laser technology to get rid of your hair. It is costly, but eventually hair will grow back less and less.

    My bf shaves his legs for cycling...he hasn't had any problems with bumpy skin or anything. It feels weird though, to rub my legs against his hairless legs now!

    I long to click my heels and end up in Berkeley in the 70s where men were men and the rest of us were women and all of us were hairy as hobbitses and we were too busy drinking coffee and saving the world by re-using washed out plastic bags that we had hung on the clothesline with the rest of the rags.

    On second thought, no thanks to going back, I just wish we all had better things to think about than our hair, and especially than about each other's hair.

    I wanted the model 5270 because that model comes with an electric shaver attachment and the 5180 comes with the beginner epilating head for newbies. Well, bed bath and beyond only had the 5180, and since I already have the norelco body groomer which is an electric shaver, I just bought the 5180. I am very happy I bought this model for the beginner attachment.

    I have a high pain tolerance. I've had numerous peircings and after getting your nipples pierced, I figured I could deal with any pain. So I thought I could handle the full 40 tweezer action head like a pro. I was dead wrong. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got through a couple rows before I had to take a break. You guys weren't kidding when you said it hurts. So I switched over to the beginner attachment since it only has 20 tweezers. That was a lot better. I only did my thighs to see how they would turn out. I missed a good amount of hair with the smaller setting, but I need a break before I go back over it. My legs are very warm with red dots everywhere.

    So, if you wanted to buy the braun epilator, get the 5180 model so you can switch to the beginner attachment if it's too painful for you. I got up close to my "bikini line" (I don't know if that's what you call it on a guy) and it didn't hurt too bad, but then again that was already shaved. For some reason, I received the most pain from behind my hamstring area.

    I will see how the next couple of days are and post again if anybody else is interested.

    I don't really get down with electric shavers. I feel like I have more control with a regular razor I actually work for a marketing company that is promoting Schick's Quattro for Women. I started using it recently and it is great. If you're asking for a woman's advice, this shaver does the trick! It is a lot easier on the legs than most other razors, but apparently pain is not an issue for you
