More Willie.
I was wandering through Walgreen’s the other day looking for shampoo and face wash when I saw this...
That’s right, hair removal cream for men. Could this actually work? I have always been kind of in awe of Nair. Cream that removes hair? No way. I felt that this was my chance to find out how it works. Yes, I did the unthinkable...I bought a bottle and here are the results...with pictures.
I got home and decided what part of me shall become hairless first. Because of the large area and being able to take pictures without making this X-Rated, I chose my chest...
I read the instructions...Apply evenly and thickly to hair and leave 8 minutes. If hair wipes off after 8 minutes good, if not leave it longer. DO NOT EXCEED 15 MINUTES. Easy enough right? Wrong...Try applying a thick cream evenly to chest hair and you will discover this task is not easy, but eventually I was covered in foul smelling baby blue creme.
I thought I was covered at least...After about 5 minutes the smell went from bad to worse...Whatever it was doing to my hair smelled like a dead dog covered in vomit. I waited the maximum time...15 minutes (DO NOT EXCEED remember?) and then tried to wipe it off with some toilet paper and paper towels. That did about as good of a job as President Bush. It just moved the cream around without really doing anything productive. I jumped in the shower and BAM! hair falling everywhere, but as you can see I had kind of a hairy chest. I emerged from the shower looking like I tried to shave in the dark.
As you can see, the results from the first round were less than stellar, but I don’t quit that easy. I reapplied and doubled the amount of Nair used. Time to break the 15 minute rule.
You can see that I used a ton more this time. Hair be damned. I left it on another 15 minutes. The smell worsened, but my determination was steadfast.
After another shower and wipe down, the hair sloughed off like the skin of a leper. Amazingly, it was almost all gone. There were still small patches I missed though, namely around my nipples. I reapplied for a third time, but only in certain places. AHH! The first two applications had made my nipples really sensitive. I felt like I had just run a marathon with a burlap jersey on.
Another 15 minutes...Keep in mind the warning label...DO NOT EXCEED 15 MINUTES. I had now had Nair on me for a total of 45 minutes, the man can’t tell me what to do! My stomach was now resembling Buddha’s head, so it was ok. I jumped in the shower for the last time. By now my nipples and portions of my chest were rubbed pretty damn raw between using a luffa to get the hair off and the Nair. But the moment of reckoning was here...how well did it work?
Pretty damn good. I am as smooth as a baby. Well almost...there are one or two stubbly patches, but overall I think it definitely worked better than shaving...at least for my chest.
So will I use it again? Probably. It is a lot safer in my mind using cream than a razor on certain parts of my body (Ouch!). Will I use it often? Probably not. I prefer using a razor on my face and I don’t usually shave my chest. Plus the smell is pretty bad...
