Many women are favouring a new electric shaver which was especially designed for feminine use. It is a handy little instru- ment which may be plugged into any current and they claim it nips off the hair in such a fashion that prevents stubbles of new growth from penetrating their hose. You might investigate this shaver if you like cutting the hair instead
