Aside from the bottle's case of tourette's
SHITCOCK syndrome, this seems pretty straightforward, right? Well, I'll be damned if it's not the most tedious and boring thing, even more so than using a razor. I basically had to sit on ass for
3 (or more, but
DO NOT EXCEED 10)
minutes doing jack shit and occasionally checking my legs for hair removal. Maybe I have ADHD or something. And, NOT RUBBING can be a pain sometimes, but I beared with these instructions. I've seen worse. Overall, usage takes about 5 minutes, not including that it requires a shower afterward, and razors can take for-FUCKING-ever on large areas of skin.
Results: 2/5
Maybe I suck at spreading this shit or I'm fat, but it seemed like a few small spots were unaffected by the lotion. It also inflamed my legs and made them itch, and I noticed a spot on my skin bleeding after I wiped off the lotion -- this might just be me, since I have eczema. While it didn't particularly make me feel comfortable that I COULDN'T FUCKING ANYTHING in my legs afterwards, slight numbness seems to happen with razors too, so whatever. When you've got to get out the razor anyway and touch up spots, it seems like there isn't much of a point, but it did remove very much of my leg hair, and the hair did indeed seem to grow back a little slower than after using a razor, so I'll give this a couple of points.
Worth: 2/5
A bottle of this shit costed around $7 according to Yahoo! Answers (I'd be damned if I could find the recept), and after two uses, the bottle seems to only have about enough lotion left for one more use. However, my Mach 3 costed about $8, it has performed admirably, and is still on its first head. So, yeah.
Total: 7/15
Verdict: This shit doesn't quite Fucking Suck, but it's not that great, either. If your skin's not that easily inflamed, you can sit still for
3 minutes, or want to try something new, try it, but I really wouldn't recommend completely switching to it.
