It’s why waxing was invented. :)
And the amount of research funding for painless and safe depilatory concoctions/ methods has probably quadrupled with this silly fad, as well as the market for expensive specialty razors. Women are conditioned to accept quite a bit of discomfort — if not outright pain — to comply with the beauty standards du jour that men and fashion magazines decree. The marketers have to gauge how much most guys will endure in the pursuit of a trend.
