One step at a time? Quick back of the envelope: Assuming 30k body hair follicles, at 5s/follicle that's 42 hours.

Now if you just want to do your arms this is like down to a few hours. Not so bad?

Say it takes 10 minutes to shave a beard, and you have to shave it every 3 days, in one month, that's 100 minutes. In 10 months, that's 1,000 minutes. Two years gets you 2,400 minutes, or 40 hours. And that's just a beard. Spending 42 hours to get it done once seems like a great deal on comparison!
