Braun: waxing and tweezing - a funny, an oopsie

I think that Jodi described it very accurately. It is an electrical
epilator, like Epi-Lady (Philips has a similar one, too). It is
painful, just like any other plucking method, but I have been using
epilators for 9 years and after a while, your skin becomes less
sensitive. It doesn't give me more ingrown hairs than waxing, unlike
shaving, which gives me horrible rash.
Any recommendations on tweezers, anyone?
