If you're into pain you should try the Epilady then - it takes only half the time of tweezing, but is at least three times as painful!

(Can't believe my mom actually gave me one of these one xmas back in the 80s. I suppose this demonstrates how much she hates me. )

You could never have guessed by some of your posts on here Ray!

...A safety or straight razor would probably be best for value over the long haul, and they are less wasteful, but I could end up looking like I went through windshield. Rite Aid has a knock off of the Gillette Fusion for about a third of the cost. I'm tempted to try it and see if its close to as good...

Are you talking just about the replacement blades? I've found that the Rite-Aid blades still irritate my skin. But CVS sells their own five bladed razor and blades and is very good.

ETA: Make sure you dry off your razor and take it out of the shower/bath so the blades don't sit in water. That will make the blades last longer.

Re:

Seeing as us ladies shave our legs so often (providing we shave in the first place)... with so much practice it takes me only about five minutes to shave mine. Don't know why it would take anyone half an hour, but I suppose it's because you lads are so much hairier...

Actually we're not. It's just that the hair is more visible.

I would say it takes only about two minutes if you shave them about every two days. But nothing beats the feel of legs shaved in a hot bath! Add a few votive candles, and you're set. Am I right, or am I right?

Of course we're hairier. Are you saying a women's leg is just as hairier as a men's only her hairs are less visible?

Not only that, our hair is thicker. Reminds me when the ladies make fun of men who scream while being waxed. They must have no idea.

Only by about a paltry few 100,000 or so (the average is about 5 million) and even then it depends on the person. So yes, that is what I am saying.

Vellus doesn't count. There's no point in removing it. Of course what is being discussed is terminal hair.

I'm glad you posted that they irritate your skin because I was going to go by Rite Aid on the way home from work. I assume that Gillette Fusion does not irritate your skin?

No, the ones I tried were just replacement blades for a Gilette Mach3. Here's the one from CVS:

They look to be about the same. The CVS one is cheaper tho ...
