Summary: 


After several years of rather painful electrolysis I think the results
are well worth the pain. Unfortunately the electric tweezers - depilatron -
don't seem to work all that well. Human hair is basically an insulator.
By what means does the "current" travel down the hair shaft into the folicle
to destroy the hair root?
