It’s winter so not as often as I did. But the hair used to be gone for like a week, and then for another week it was short and soft. If I kept up with it, it would’ve probably been much longer before the hair grew back. Now it’s back to normal length but my legs aren’t as hairy as they would be for other men. Keep in mind that you should exfoliate your skin when epilating otherwise you’ll get ingrown hairs.

Also getting hairs on the back of your leg is not only rather difficult but also fucking painful, especially on the back of biceps femoris and it’s surroundings. This is the place on my legs which have the darkest, hardest, roughest and most twisting hair of the entire leg. The very sensitive nerves are just the cherry on top :^) I suggest to those that can to get yourself a helping hand in removing hair from there, but it will be difficult for the other person to adjust to your pain tolerances. One time I tried alcohol (Drank it, didn’t apply it to skin. Never, ever fucking do that.) to try and weaken the pain, didn’t really help and it just worsened my fine motor skills. Didn’t try any other pain killers, I just went with it.

The pain also gets much weaker and more tolerable with more epilations that you do, I’ve also found that taking things slow only makes them worse pain wise.

Also make sure you have good lightning. You want to see every little hair on your leg with great detail as to not miss anything, under summer sunlight they tend to stand out like a sore thumb.

But after all of that, the feeling of smoothness is really worth it.

Also, in case you find yourself in a situation of bigotry or toxic masculinity you can always use these two great excuses: I’m a swimmer/cyclist.

Anything else you’d like to know?
