The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

      Do they make ones for the face or is that just a bad idea?

      dysphoria/mental health

      (I've spent hours and hours before doing my entire face with tweezers after a mental breakdown from a horrible shaving experience so pain isn't really an issue, I just want whatever's most effective to tie me over until I can get laser/electrolysis)

        face is the whole reason i do it. my skin is a nightmare with shaving. there isn't a special face epilator afaik, i just use a normal epilator.

        first time is the most painful, when i started again a couple months ago i tweezed it the first time and then doing it regularly isn't terribly painful.

            no problem, i hope it works out for you

            a friend of mine told me about an oil that you can put on after hair removal that stops it coming back over time, and i've ordered some, i'm really hoping that it works. it's called cyperus rotundus oil. i'll try and post in a few months if it works because i think ppl would find it v useful
