same for me. it doesn’t even save time or effort. it just really irritates, maybe even harms the skin on top of taking as much time as shaving anyway. it’s so useless. can’t recommend.

When I was in the Army, shaving was the bane of my existence. Well, shaving in the field was; I hated it so much. Never enough water, more shit to carry, winters are the worst because getting hot water is hard enough, and shaving with cold water sucks.
So, like OP, I found hair remover for men, and I’m like, “WTH why do men shave when we have this??”
The answer is: because these are all noxious chemicals, they feel like noxious chemicals, they smell like noxious chemicals, and they leave your skin raw and red. They really are only useful for guys for whom normal shaving is even worse, usually because of a tendency to ingrown hair problems from shaving. Or maybe there are guys with sandpaper skin; I don’t know. But there’s a reason why men (at least) still shave.
Someday maybe there will be a depilatory that’s as gentle as it is in sci-fi, but right now it’s just a caustic, irritating hot mess.
I really feel for OP. :-(
