I like the Eversoft Easy Start. I’ve never tried the Supersoft, but the Eversoft has the easy start head. Look up the product specs on <www.braun.com>. The Eversoft is newer, so I assumed that maybe they had made some sort of advances over the Supersoft.
About leftover hairs, especially a couple days later- This happens to me even with waxing. With the epilator, I was worried that maybe the hairs were breaking off instead of getting yanked out. I checked the bottoms for root balls, and most fo the hairs to have the roots on them. I think some hairs are just really fine, and it takes an extra pass with the epilator to get them. It’s working that way for me. I’m resigned to having to take tweezers to a few stubborn ones. I am thinking the upkeep on this epilator business is going to be about once a week, just making a pass over the legs to get them as they grow out.
I have also found that the pain is MUCH less if you’re of legal drinking age. Just one drink is really enough to make it bearable, especially with the ice pack.
