R.E.M. Spring
Don't get your baggies in a twist thinking it's their new album.
No, it's much more mundane.
From the website:
••••••••••••••••••••
R.E.M. Spring™ — As seen in "O" Magazine!
The fast and easy way to remove facial hair.
Have the silky-smooth skin you’ve always wanted — without tweezing, shaving or depilatories.
Based on the age-old Asian technique of hair threading to remove unwanted hairs, the R.E.M. Spring is safe, effective and easy to use.
You don’t need waxes, bleach or stinging lotions to remove those little hairs on the cheeks, chin, neck and upper lip.
Just roll the R.E.M. Spring bar over unwanted hairs — it removes hair from the root, and won’t leave skin with rashes, redness or sores like waxing can.
Easy to take along in a purse or travel kit.
Durable stainless steel.
Use wet or dry.

The only thing that worries me is that the folks over at MAKE will go out to their garages and down to their basements to find some junky spring and try it out for this purpose.
I hereby state unequivocally that I am not responsible should you take that approach.
And that's all I have to say
about that.

That's got to hurt. I remember a similar product when I was a kid. They said it was 'a painless way to unslightly hair removal' on the box, but I never ever believed that a device as bizarre as that could be painless.

It looks like they're trying to gloss over the fact that you're pulling hairs out by the roots, just like tweezing, only en masse. And it seems like those little tiny peachfuzz hairs stand a much better chance of coming back ingrown, so that instead of smooth silky skin with fine downy hairs, you wind up with bumpy red pustuley skin with no hairs.
In my teenage era, I and all my girlfriends, in our zit-battles, used to go to the same dermatologist, who told us all to shave our faces once a week and we'd have gorgeous skin. Makeup would glide on flawlessly, we'd glow & be dewy, life would be good. And we all did and it was. We started shaving before most of the guys, I think, and they'd listen fascinated to us sharing shaving tips.
