First go was not very pleasant, but top-ups are significantly easier, and significantly less frequent than shaving. Comes highly recommended, especially if you need to shave daily, as I did.
Thanks Freddy, I am going to have to try an epilator.

I would be tempted to try the Tria hand held laser that Amanda uses, but that price is pretty steep for me. What I've used in the past, is a facial hair trimmer to make my hair really short (1/8-1/4") over all of my body, this is not itchy, it avoids known stubble regrowth issues related to body shaving, I don't have to do it as often, and doesn't look too obvious that I am "almost" shaving. More recently I started to use a body groomer, to get a closer, more consistent trim, and so far it works very well. However, the epilator sounds interesting and is very affordable, well worth a shot at least.
