‘‘No No Pro” or an alternative

Does anybody know what it is? If yes than, what is the success rate or review of this product? Or: 1) Does it work as expected? 2) Any side effects? 3) Anything else I should know about before buying? 4) Alternatives to ‘‘No No Pro’’ Apostle (talk) 05:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming you're talking about the hair remover, Consumer Reports doesn't think much of it.[1] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:28, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, the very idea of burning hair off seems ill-conceived. It's going to smell, leave burnt ends, and not remove the hair down to the follicle. I also wonder how long it would last before the hot filament would fail. Amazingly, the device doesn't seem to burn the skin. StuRat (talk) 16:33, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Burning hair? I thought burning hair grows more hair… --Apostle (talk) 18:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well it does grow back, yes. StuRat (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's like a hair comb for hair with half a hair long and half a hair short and half a hair hotter than hair can bear? You don't need $300 for that. Just move a match over your skin very, very fast. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 21:07, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A personal anecdote, I know, but my usual barber offers this service (at a premium) for ear depilation. This video at 3:40 shows the technique in use. Tevildo (talk) 22:33, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, like you gonna pay for it…(lol). Honestly, it destroyed the whole out-coming of the beard hair the last two time I went - actually destroyed the 15 years of care-takings... -- Apostle (talk) 18:39, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I sought something (or something alike) that can vanish my moustache, beard, armpit, and front bottom hair “forever”. I’m sick and tired of it… What’s highly praised? A list of things out in the market that does this trick? -- Apostle (talk) 18:48, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Electrolysis might be your answer. As to why you want to look like a child - we'd rather not know. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:53, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

: You want to know know know, I know, so I'll tell you. It's like a period pain for me

I get the itch every 3 weeks

Sometimes I miss it if I clean the neck part...

Beside,

to your statement, cause [2]

-- Apostle (talk) 18:54, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's already way too much information. Be that as it may, if you're looking for personal opinions here, you're not likely to find anything better than what you would find on Google. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:26, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In many parts of the world, women eliminate all body hair. In some places, men, do too. StuRat (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, "Ramadan Mubarak" to you all! -- Apostle (talk) 18:57, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I really didn't need to know that, but now it's ingrained in my brain forever. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 00:37, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That would be Hosni's little-known, righteous nephew. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 05:50, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Old and gray as I may be
any superfluity of unbarbered hair on me
it is plucked and more you scamp,
since I singe it with a lamp ;) (from Lysistrata)
