The answer is about $ 65-99. However you want “good and safe” not “cheap”.

There are several unsafe and expensive forms of hair removal including waxing. Here are some unvarnished facts.

Waxing, plucking, epilating, threading or sugaring are bad even though many people do it. These methods are very painful and leave a hole in the skin where the hair once grew and this can fill up with bacteria like staphylococcus aureus and cause painful infections and permanent skin damage or discoloration. With waxing the skin loses elasticity and causes premature aging later.

Never use the depilatory cremes or gels especially on your face or bkini area as burns can result . All hair removal cremes have harsh caustic chemicals in them like calcium hydroxide or thioglycolates and The FDA mandates that must all have printed warnings printed on them but sadly no one reads these until too late.

Laser hair removal at home (IPL – Intense Pulsed light) or is both expensive and painful and doesn’t always work. http://www.skinandallergynews.com/news/aesthetic-dermatology/single-article/at-home-hair-removal-device-no-better-than-shaving/73c4709d333391925b7e56dc4e0372cb.html

Serious skin burns can result from so called professional laser treatments in a salon and again doesn’t always work on all kinds of skin or hair types. The FDA expressly prohibits laser hair removal being described as permanent because it is not.

Never wet shave with a razor blade as it removes not only the unwanted hair but also the top layer of your skin, the epidermis, from which the hair grows. This wet razor shaving damages the skin and causes the familiar shaver rash and shaver burn that millions complain of. The skin is trying to tell you it has been injured and not to shave like this again. Wet razor blade shaving is the primary cause of painful ingrown hairs as well as a razor used in the direction of hair growth makes the hair bend and lie down next to the skin and then the blade slices the end of the hair diagonally and not straight across. The thin sliced end then bends inwards and downwards and grows into the skin where it becomes infected.

Also the explanation for the myth that many believe – “shaving causes the hair to grow back thicker” – is because they wet shave with a razor blade. Any doctor will tell you this increased hair growth is biologically impossible. See http://www.bestbodyshaver.com/shaving-myths/ for a renowned Mayo Clinic doctor’s advice. The real cause is the method of shaving and using the correct shaver will solve this issue immediately as well as cheaply. The water used during razor blade shaving, is absorbed by the skin cells though the process called osmosis and they swell up. You will have seen this effect if you stay in the water too long and your skin gets the wrinkled “prune” look which makers it impossible for a blade to cut the hair close to the skin. This water absorption causes the skin surface to puff up and the swollen skin cells ride up the hair shaft, concealing the base of the hair so that the blade cannot reach it to cut it. Once you finish shaving the skin dries out and the skin cells deflate again as the water has evaporated. This causes the uncut portion of the hair to reappear.

Whether male or female the safe, inexpensive answer to any body hair removal, is to DRY shave with the new sensitive skin body shaver – the Bare It All personal shaver and bikini trimmer at www.BestBodyShaver.com. It is a purpose built body shaver designed with a special foil to let the hair be cut without the blades touching and injuring the skin. You have to trim the hair first to short stubble length to make it stand up and away from the skin. The Bare It All personal shaver and trimmer has a shaver and also a built in trimmer. It is completely cordless and the plug is inbuilt into the shaver base and never needs power cords, plugs or voltage converters. It other words there is nothing to forget or lose even if traveling abroad or away from home.

Using this new type of rechargeable body shaver you can get “smooth as waxing” skin without the itching, lumps, bumps and ingrown hairs you get with wet shaving. At less than $ 50 you get 500 hours of rechargeable shaving which works out at around 3 cents per shave.

I hope this helps.
