I’m a male with pale skin and very dark hair. Bought this for my pubic area. I’ve been using it for a few months now, twice a week, always after a fresh shave with a brand new razor. 3 passes, with 2 flashes per pass on level 6/7. The hair isn’t growing quite as fast, but no noticeable difference in coverage. It’s possible that it works on other places, but I am not at all impressed with results in the pubic area. Also- this whole thing is SUPER time consuming.
