When you take a slow-motion picture of the hair being pulled out with an 'electric high-speed tweezers' it looks like this

This time, the process of hair removal using a high-speed electric tweezers will be filmed in macro slow motion.

Gavin believes that hair removal with a high-speed tweezing machine is different from waxing in that it removes hair without removing the top layer of skin.

First, I faced the macro slow-motion camera and tried to move the high-speed tweezers. In addition, because some hair was removed during the test, the hair tangled inside the machine was rotating together.
Apparently, the metal moving parts rotate while opening and closing, and it seems that the mechanism is to remove hairs that are caught between the moving parts and the plastic parts. Daniel commented, 'It's like a giant combine harvester that harvests human skin.'

We decided to mark the plastic parts of the tweezers machine and measure how fast they rotated.

Move it again to take macro slow motion shots.

The result was that it was rotating at about 23 revolutions per second, or just under 1,400 revolutions per minute, which is faster than expected.

Daniel seems to be in charge of removing the hair. Gavin, who was in charge of the photography, said carefreely, 'I hope it looks like a small agricultural tool that mows the grass in the field.'

Daniel, who was afraid to put the high-speed tweezers on his arm, let out a strange groan, 'Aoooooh-Awawawawa.'

Daniel took the tweezers off and brushed the hair off his arms.

I decided to check the video immediately and saw that some hairs had been caught and the skin had been lifted up, but perhaps because the cat was lifting the skin a little to get a good shot, not as much hair had fallen out as I had expected.

Since they couldn't take a proper photo like this, the two decided to remove the cover that was getting in the way and try again.

Regarding removing the cover and depilating, Daniel looks anxious and says, 'The only thing I'm worried about is if the cover is there for some reason.'

The hair removal started right away. Daniel let out a painful cry as the high-speed tweezers were applied to his arm, and Gavin couldn't help but laugh.

Daniel commented, 'This is the worst! It hurts so much!' When he removed the cover, the hair he had pulled out was scattered all over the table.

If you check the slow motion video, you can see the hair falling out.

Here's what it looks like from behind. You can clearly see the areas where the hair has fallen out.

When viewed from the front, you can even see the hairs flying through the air as they are shed with great force.

If you look at the camera pointed at the skin, you can clearly see how the hairs caught in the high-speed tweezers are pulled up against the skin.

When the hair is pulled out with great force, the skin sinks in due to the force. It's a strange sensation that feels both painful and pleasant.


I look back at the table and see hair scattered along the edge of where my arm had been.

Daniel asks some scary questions: 'I wonder what the table would look like if I shave my whole body off,' and 'Do you think it would have chalk-like outlines?'

Next I decided to try hair removal on my legs.

Daniel cried out 'Aaaaao' in a painful voice.

If you look at the video, you can clearly see how the skin is pulled each time a hair gets caught.

The process of plucking out the long hairs is reminiscent of a giant machine cutting down a forest, and Daniel and Gavin react as if they are being shaved every time a hair with a large hair follicle attached falls out.

Gavin also offered his arm to Daniel for a test run. When the high-speed tweezers touched him for a second, he let out a strange scream: 'Dagan!'

Daniel also burst out laughing at the sight.

When Gavin asked, 'Is there any part of your body you want to remove hair from?' Daniel replied, 'I can't reach it, so I can't do it on video.' However, Gavin offered, 'I can reach it. Shall I remove it for you?'

'I have a bit of a hairy back,' Daniel whispered.

At the end of the video, Gavin gives a closing speech while removing hair from Daniel's back.
