Having thick dark hair, (rather had thick dark hair) I’ve been using an epilator since my twenties. I’ve only had two so they lasted a long time, current one still doing a great job and it’s got to be 15 years old. I used to have my tash ‘sugared’ or waxed when younger but had a problem with in-growing hairs. Since I realised my ‘leg’ epilator did the same job for my face, I’ve never looked back. Once a week and delighted with it. It’s the older Braun version, waterproof though I’ve never used it in water, and has the massage attachments, again never used. I got it 30% off plus it had a 90 days trial if you didn’t like it. It does the job and using a magnifying mirror I catch and stubborn ones with tweezers, usually just one or two. And it’s soft regrowth which is better than these new ‘women’s razer’ type things on sale everywhere.
