I'm a casual cyclist so make of this as you will.

I got tired of shaving my face about 10 years ago.
So I bought this Emjoi epilator from Costco and used it on my face.
It has been running strong for 10 years now.

I must warn you, this is a hardcore process for your face to handle at first.
Ripping hairs out of your upper lip at high speed will make you cry, but eventually your face gets used to it.
I suspect your legs would be far less painful to do this on since there are less nerves.

After several years of this, many hairs grow back thinner and I suspect many just never grow back at all because it is ripping the entire root of the hair out.
Now I barely use it at all.
I can literally take 20 minutes and just tweeze the big visible hairs out by hand.
I'm hoping in another 10 years, I will never have facial hair again.

The razor companies will go out of business if every one did this, but it works for me.
Just be warned, if you're sensitive, this will be painful.
I would think you guys can handle it on your legs, that's what it was designed for women to do.
