honestly, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. my epilator had two threads stuck in it that I couldn't reach and it was doing a *!&*^#% $@$*!& job removing hair but then I found this guide. you saved me from having to unnecessarily buy another epilator. mine's as good as new and the best part is that I now know how to open it up again in case I have to do it once more. thanks man. ?
