It worked! I purchased an epilator by Remington and cleaned the hair from my chest and legs. Their a little bumpy, right now, but I have hopes of smooth skin by the morning. It did hurt like the dickens, especially around the nipples and the crotch. But this way I won't have to repear the process, or shave, for several weeks. Such rapture!
The reason for this joy is that my wife is off visiting her sister for a few days and I have the house to myself. I also have a few new items of clothing to try on. I posted my first photo in the gallery showing two of them.
