Say ‘Good night!’ and Go

… because it pertains to body hair removal. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!!
The other day, I caught a documentary about Razor Blades/shavers. And they showed this person shaving her underarms. It looked very convenient and fast. Very unlike the method I occasionally used, which is tweezing. It’s a tedious and painstaking process, trust me.

So when I was at Mydin Mall, I decided to check out VEET. I know, it’s got nothing to do with razor blades. After seeing the animation of how a razor burn occurs (just looking at an illustration of skin being sliced off as the blade slides across the area was enough to make me cringe), I decided to not use a razor shaver. I looked at the Razorless Veet thingy and it cost more than RM21! Finally chose to try the new Veet in-shower cream.

I couldn’t understand the vague instructions the first time and the hairs on my legs weren’t any shorter. So I tried again after a few hours. It worked then. The next day, I tried it on my underarms. Everything done in under 5 minutes. Felt fine. Then I left for the training center and opted to leave the Veet behind. The next two days, I felt like I had TWO porcupines/hedgehogs/spiny anteaters under my arms!

Pokey as heck! I would rather go through the hassle of tweezing/using my Braun Silk epil than endure another spiky regrowth episode. At least with tweezing, the hairs took longer to regrow and they had to start from the roots. With creams, the hairs grew from the point where they were cut off, which made them thick and stubble-y.

Okay, I’ll stop now. I am sure that there were people who did not heed my warning earlier. Hope you haven’t been scarred for life.
