veet (immac) for men?

[tell-me-more]

The enemy uses veet to remove hair from her legs. What would happen if I used it instead of shaving? Would it work?

Years ago, we used Immac on a mate's head. He was going bald and wanted to go chromedome and fast. It was his idea.

Well, to say that he jumped around the room wimpering, 'It burns, it burns' then shoved his head under a tap and used a kitchen spoon to scrape the stuff from his bonce probably doesn't fill you with a lot of confidence...

just don't use it on any sores or shaving rash.

i would think it would work - try a patch test first

though if you have exceptionally thick haired stubble you may need to leave it a little longer

I once had Immac put on a few patches my head (a drunken "joke"), yes it burns but it certainly gets the hair off.

Personally I wouldn't dream of using it instead of shaving as it is effectively melting your hair, apart from the pain it doesn't smell great.

You can get hair removal cream specifically for use on your face. However, I am not sure these products would work on the type of coarse stubble that men have - you would probably get an uneven result and have to shave anyway.

I think they do a sensitive version for the ladies which may not be quite as painful. Anyone volunteering to try and let us know how it went ?
