epilator
Electric hair plucker
An epilator is an electrical device that removes hair by mechanically grasping and pulling it out at the root.
Unlike razors, which cut hair at the skin's surface, epilators produce longer-lasting results similar to waxing: The epilator hurt the first few times, but now I prefer it to shaving.
