This product is better than other products of the same line. And the 24 carat gold feature is good and makes it more durable, but I think razor and wax are the painless option and come cheap. It pulls the hair out which makes the whole process painful especially imagine at the places like bikini lines etc. But since the gold is the metal that gives that antibiotic feature with it I think its a good. And if you are brave enough than I think pricing is very good at amazon.com. It does give you a good smooth legs.
