Is there an 'easy' hair removal technique?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

you just get better at it the more you do it. one good thing to have though, is one of those little tiny trimmers you can get at some drugstores for trimming bikini lines and tyhose types of places. they trim really short in case you miss an area. also i would suggest a vibrating mach 3 or fuson. they sound like a gimmick, but really work. i get irritation without one, and almost never get it with one.

Veet - smells horrible, works. Problem is the waiting time for it to work is about the same as just sitting there and shaving. *shrugs*

Test it on a small area first - some people will break out from this. If you are one of those people and use it on large areas you will regret it.

Bikes: Road and Fix, Tutto Campagnolo, certo!

Find a patch of road that is covered with sand and broken glass. Mark out a good distance, say a quarter mile. Start there, get going as fast as you possibly can, and when you get to the sand/glass patch, turn the bars sharply. You may need to twist about whilst still in mid-air in order to get all the areas that are hairy. For extra enjoyment bring some peroxide along.

I use the electric hair clippers with no guard. It's fast! Then I will go over my arms and legs with a razor when I am in the shower for maintenance.

I used an electric shaver first then the blade. The first time I ever did it, I went with just a blade. It took me 3 days to finish. Horrible.

My wife actually bought me some Nair but it just looks too messy to me. I gotta try it out one day. At least to show her that I gave it a chance.

By far the best website ever. Does any body actually use one of these, how well do they work? I'm intrigued.
