Do you use a razor? I heard about this product called Veet. I was wondering if anyone has used it? Did it work? I hate to buy something and it not work. What has worked best for you,share your experience? I have been using a razor for years but am finding it to be a huge hasle lately.

I've used Veet before and I broke out really bad. I gave it to my daughter and she had the same problem so we threw it out. I razor my legs and 'pits' and wax anything else.

I did try it but my skin was too sensitive for it and I broke out. I used it as per the instructions but before the time was up, I was already itching and burning a little so I stopped using it. Now, I just use a razor and soap. I wish there was a gentler way to remove the hair but I have yet to find something suitable for my skin.

Veet works well, but if you're talking about the mousse keep in mind that you should follow the guidelines well. All hair removal creams have the habit of causing chemical burn wounds if applied to the skin too long. Many women though tend to be better safe than sorry and leave it on a bit longer than advised the first time resulting in a reddish skin feeling like sunburn, which of course isn't the desired effect. The wax strips they have I had to undergo once when losing a bet, I can assure you those work quite well as well.... unfortunately :P

I use a razor on my legs. I tried nair one time and it broke my legs out so bad they looked really bad. As far as my eyebrows I have them waxed at the beauty shop. It only hurts for a second. I do have a hair the grows out of a mole on my face and it is black. I hate it so, I take the tweezers to it. I have never heard of Veet. I wonder if it is like Nair. I know Nair works for some people, but it really broke me out. I will never use Nair again. If you do try Veet, please let us know how it worked for you. I am curious. Thanks

I will let you know if I dare to try it out,lol. It looks like a better idea than a razor you use some plasic thing to remove the hair after appling the stuff. I couldn't use Nair either so I am kinda worried about the same reaction from this stuff,thanks.
