I decided to try this after years of shaving and several months of waxing. I absolutely think this is the way to go, never have razor burn, or sticky wax residue! The first few times you use it, it will hurt about the same as waxing but w/a bonus if it hurts to bad you can stop, unlike w/waxing which if you stop your going to regret it! Also you will save a lot of money in razors, wax and strips cause you won't have to spend money on them again! Just like when I made the switch from pc to mac... I'll never go back!!
