Advantages: Effective, long-lasting Disadvantages: can be a long process
...I bought the Braun Silk Epil X'elle 5685, as I'd just about had enough of the tedious chore of waxing, and the stubbly effects left by shaving, plus my friend had been raving about epliation ever since she bought hers last year.

I had to set up an office on a shoestring. Well, actually it was in what used to be my sitting room but you know what I mean.
One of the things we needed was a plain paper fax. I used to have one of those giant toilet roll jobs but that was very... more
