To whomever recommended me an Epistick....

[PicklingGherkins]

Thank you!! I developed blonde but coarse chin hair in my early 30's and shaved/imacced it for a year without much success (stubble is not sexy). With no money to laser or the like I thought I was screwed. I saw an epistick recommended on here, it was cheap so I bought it. Holy hell, a quick whip round with that bad boy every week or so and I'm smooth as!! Cheers me deers 🦌

Fab aren't they. Wouldn't be without mine now.

Is it a threading tool? Does it hurt?

I still need to pluck the individual coarse dark hairs but epistick is great for dealing with general fuzziness.

I need to know everything about this. Brand? Thanks!

Would it do general facial fuzz near ears etc too? Very intrigued

I want one of these. Can you buy them in any stores or only online?

I ordered one for my 'tache off amazon last night off the back of this thread. Just had a go and fuuuuuuuck that hurt. I usually wax it off, or pluck it out but that was a different level of ouch. I'm going to have another go tomorrow because the waxing has given me a red mark that won't go away and the plucking takes forever.

MyHair try to get the skin as taught as possible. Involves making extraordinary faces and sticking your tongue over your teeth. I think I originally watched a few videos for tips.

Can you do eyebrows with it?

Which brand did you buy? I would be willing to take a cheap punt on something but if it hurts like hell im out so don’t want to spend a fortune.

In theory you can do eyebrows but I’ve not tried.

I think mine was an Epistick. They’re only about £2 on Amazon or eBay.

Steam and/or cream before or after? Do you get pustules? nEED TO KNOW EVERYTHING!
oops sorry caps lock
pretty please, thank you

Jesus H Christ. It’s a SPRING! Like a door stopper type spring! Are you all actually bonkers? (At first I thought you used the pink rubber bits to somehow “erase” the hair, but no, it’s like manual, slow-mo silkepil 😩)

This is an implement of torture!

Honestly it works so well even though you’d never think it from looking at it.
I would also like to thank the person on MN who recommeded it!

It does hurt at first, but the more you do it the easier it gets.

I sit in front of the tv every night pinging away. Oh the satisfaction when you actually hear the hair being pulled out.
I bought one for my dsis but she couldn't get away with it. I, however, am addicted.

Same! I bought one for my sister as well and she can’t grt the hang of it!

It's sooooo painful and always gives me an itchy rash, so I don't bother!

I have one but just cant get the hang of how to do it....

I do worry about rash, super sensitive skin.

Sorry for not replying sooner. I wasn't expecting such a response. This is the one I have (currently 45p on Amazon). It does hurt a bit, I won't lie (especially on my handlebar moustache). My tip is to do it straight after a hot steamy bath/shower, make sure you've knocked back some form of alcohol (nice glass of wine in the bath - perfect) then go for it. Little and often works best for me and isn't too traumatic. I don't put any cream on it for a short while after but can say I've never experienced redness beyond the first couple of minutes. I'm not sure about eyebrows as I don't do mine but it works on all of my face hair. It only takes me a few minutes now I have the knack (YouTube helps here). https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004LNXA0Y/ref=cmswwrsmsscapiiiMuQeBbSQCR1N5

I've got one of these but can't get the hang of how to use it!

I've had a few of these and think they're great BUT they go rusty very quickly even though not in contact with water - anyone else's do thiS?

They're only £1 so cheap to replace but seems wasteful (landfill)

Get on YouTube and take a look at a couple of videos, I bend mine into a downwards U shape and sort of twist the ends whilst moving it around.

As for the rust, mine is okay so far but I do keep it in my bedroom rather than the bathroom if that makes a difference.
