Nairly A Catatrosphe

On an impulse, I bought that Nair product with the "Bladeless Shaver". It promises no cuts, no nicks, and smoooooooooth legs. It lasts longer than shaving. So, being the lazy gal I am, I decided to try it out. I read the directions and it seemed like so much work for what better work. Shake the bottle. Put on the applicator top. Squeeze a thick coating of this (smelly) stuff onto legs. Schmear it with the back of the bladeless razor. In 3 minutes, test a patch to see if hair comes off easily. Okay...I guess I can do this.

I put it on. Two minutes into it, my legs began burning & itching. This can't be good. I sucked it up and waited another minute. Now I have an itch on my head from where my ponytail was pulling the hair in the wrong direction. So I scratch it. DRAT! I look at my hand because there was something there. EW! It's the lotion. OMG! Did I get it on my hair? Is it on the sclap? Will a patch of hair on my head now fall out? On No!

Okay....time to see if this will come off. Nope. Wait another two minutes while legs are turning reddish & burn so bad. Try another patch. Hmmmm........ some came off. Not all. Not completely smooth. Ow ow ow! Burning! Burning my skin. Get it off!

As I take the bladeless shaver, which is now leaving red streaks over my legs, and scoop this smelly lotion off, its now dripping onto the floor, onto the bath mat, all over. I finally got all of it off and washed my legs with the lukewarm water. Red. PAtchy. Splotchy. Sort of smooth. Not completely. Oh well......I'll be happy as long as that patch of hair on my head doesn't drop out this weekend.
