Hi. I’m a 33 year old guy with about the same body hair type as you. I’ve always been hairy. I was an early bloomer when it came to body and facial hair. Got the first appearances of a mustache in Junior High at the age of 11 or 12, so I know how you feel.
Anyway, this was 20 years ago and body hair was “in” back then. So hair removal wasn’t even thought of.
Now it seems that a lot of men get rid of their body hair. In fact, it’s rare to see body hair on any guy that into body building of sorts. Athletes especially.
As far as your upper arm hair, yeah, me too on that. I also had a good pelt on my lower arms as well.
My chest and stomach…you could weave a nice fur jacket out of it if you wanted to. My legs were about as bad, but not as thick as my cousin for example. Fortunately, I don’t have a hair back. Just the little peach fuzz around the back of my shoulder blades.
Anyway, you’re asking what kind of epilator to buy?
Well, I did some extensive research before I bought mine and I eventually bought a Braun 5270 Silk-épil X’elle which is selling for just under $60 now. I think I paid about $70 a couple months ago.
It comes with a few attachments to ease new users into it, but once you get used to the “pain”, you’ll find you really don’t need the newbie heads. It also comes with an oscilating foil shave head to get the hairs that the epilator head can’t get. I find that hairs aorund the elbow are hard to get due the boneyness of that area I guess.
The epilator is also good for pubic hair too. Including the shaft and scrotum. But be careful…got to go slow in that area.
