As for the epilator, it certainly did hurt, but I've read that prolonged use will result in less hair growth. I figure I'll see some results if I stick to it right through the winter. Plus, the pain from plucking 0-42 hairs per revolution causes a rush of heat that keeps me warm on these cool autumn days!
1. Bic disposable razor - you can get a 12 pack for next to no $$, and change them once a month and be better off than you currently are
2. Hair conditioner
3. Hot shower
Shower, lather your legs up with hair conditioner, and shave. And you're done.
And yes ... some of us have been shaving our legs since we were young teenage girls. We were taught how to do it fairly quickly and efficiently by our mothers.
BTW - while I do use lotion most of the time just to smooth out the dry skin, I have discovered that hair conditioner works better for leaving the skin smooth, and bump-free. Get something cheap and thick, and you'll be in business.
