I used to be crazy about waxing.  Legs, brows, bikini, I did it all.  I found an amazing woman who didn’t make me feel the least bit uncomfortable and charged a great price (note: by the way, yes you do have to tip a waxer).  But as you know, this is a blog for poor people, and when you’re living on a budget, there are some luxuries that just have to go.
But as luck would have it, I recently got the opportunity to test out The Ultimate Personal Shaver Kit ($79.95), a shaving kit for your bikini area or other parts of your body where there’s some hair that needs trimming.  The UPSK as I’m going to call it now is designed to give you the closest shave possible with a variety of different doo dads and knick knacks all with a fancy chrome finish.

The kit includes:
Personal trimmer
Personal finishing shaver
Talc powder (to prevent razor burn)
Application brush
6 *ahem* Shaving stencils
Cleaning brush
Storage case

When I used it:
I tried the UPSK out on a patch of my arm hair.  I started with the talc powder which was pretty silky on my skin but was incredibly messy.  While the personal trimmer did worked on kind of thinning out the hair and trimming it down, the finishing shaver, which kind of looks like a buffer, didn’t work, even with fresh batteries.

I’ve heard that this is a common problem with this shaving kit, but that their customer service is excellent, and the customers with broken pieces received new shavers within the week.  Check out some of the other reviews here.
