I adore the veet Duo! I don't use a razor at all anymore. The epilator has two speeds and many tiny tweezers that grip even the smallest if hairs. It is rechargeable and will work for up to 40 minutes on a full charge, or you can use it with the charger plugged in. I mentioned earlier that I don't shave anywhere anymore, so? The shaver? Well my husband uses that side, so we got two appliances for one price. His face has never been smoother thanks to the foil system. And no more ingrown hairs at all! Over all I just live this system and feel that it was the best buy I ever made. I have been using the epilator for about three months now, at first For my under arms and bikini area i had to use it every third day as opposed to shaving, which I had to do on a daily basis!!! That is how fast my hair grew! After about two weeks I only had to use it once a week and now I only use it every 12 to 16 days. That is only twice a month. The hair has grown back thinner and much less has grown back. I do use it in conjunction with the veet hair regrowth inhibitor lotion. On my legs I only use it once every two months, ( thankfully the hair on my legs grow very slowly )
