yes! Hair Removal... yes or no?

This odd little contraption is the YES! Finishing Touch* hair removal machine by JML. I was very eager to give this a go before my trip to Greece as I saw many reviews claiming miracle results for almost instant hair removal. What really drew me to the YE! was the stubble remover head that seemed to have the best outcome in all the reviews! So, what did I think?

Firstly, it looks like a razor, but it isn't. The head barely moved and when I tried it on my leg hair, nothing happened. Here's what it claims on the website - "The sensa-light technology of Finishing Touch Yes! uses precision, micro-oscillation to remove even the tiniest hairs and sweep them gently away with no cuts, nicks, bruises or bumps, leaving your skin incredibly smooth, without the need or any water or creams. " My thoughts? There are a couple of LED lights in there that flash.. and that's it. They don't DO anything and neither does the razor like head. You hold it at a 45 degree angle to the skin and slowly glide it along the skin against the grain of your hair. I tried it on my legs, arms, and the ONLY place I got it to work was on my face. Would I recommend shaving your face? No.. but it was nice to see it actually do something. Lets look at the stubble remover head that had the raving reviews.

Ok, so my legs were on about 3 day growth, so mostly stubble and this head claims to basically buff it away painlessly and quickly. Nothing happened. At all. You're meant to hold it at a 90 degree angle and press down slightly, I tried all sorts and nope, nothing worked for me. No hair removal. I was pretty disappointed to be honest. At £30 it's basically a glorified razor.. that doesn't do anything. I'd rather run the razor over my legs daily then mess around with this. For me.. this YES! is a NO!
