It's better than shaving the back of your neck every few days?

If you're under 30, you might not have to deal with this, but I can't wear a t-shirt anymore without a pre-shave. And I don't care how "comfortable" I am with it, everyone else finds it gross, especially women.

I decided against a laser clinic, mostly due to cost. From what I'm told you have to go back for many treatments. If people really are seeing success from 1 treatment, they are damn lucky. The lighter your skin is and the darker your hair is, the more effective your treatmetns will be. I have olive skin and dirty blond hair, so a bad combo.

My girlfriend has one of these:

I bought new cartridges for it for $35. The treatments to my neck/shoulder region end up costing me about $1 each, as the cartridges last for 400 or so zaps. After 10 or so treatments, the hair probably reduced by 30% or so. It's a longer, but much cheaper process. Less time consuming overall as I don't have to leave my house and go into a spa. Also, I don't have to go into a spa.
