Great product! Especially when the shave "batter" has just enough water in it to make the consistency similar to peanut butter! Not too thin but also not too thick!

To say it plain and simple it smells like a fart.
It will wash away so keep soap near by.
The can is a little hard to open so be careful when you open it and powder poofs out. Learned that the hard way didn't realize I got it on my bathtub, went to take a shower boom gassed out. Great on sensitive areas watch out for any scrapes or knicks cause dear god it'll burn. Will buy again

Unlike other reviewers, I did not discover this product on TikTok. I was seeking out something to give my razor a break - other than the entire winter break that it has had! In other words, I was seeking to remove a good amount of growth without having to resort to stinky Nair or having to have painful waxing/sugaring done.

The Mixing Process: I mixed a few shakes of this with WAY too much water, so it took a LOT of adding in more powder in order to get a not-drippy consistency. If you've ever folded cinnamon into a recipe, you know how it is hard to get incorporated because it is so powdery - that's how mixing this seemed to be. I could have added more powder at the end, but I didn't because I was sick of stirring this.

The Testing Sites: underarms and lower legs.

The Application Process: the product was too drippy (my fault?) to easily apply; I wore a sports bra and shorts. Got a good amount dripped onto the sports bra. For the legs, I just sat on the tub's edge; still managed to get a lot of the mixture in the tub. I used a cosmetic spatula to apply, which made it easier.

Results: I was able to easily wipe off the underarm areas with a damp microfiber cloth after just five minutes - all hair was removed. For the leg area, I left the mixture on for six minutes - but I should have left it on for another minute because it didn't fully remove the hair in the areas that I had applied it amply. Absolutely ZERO stinging, no irritation, and no smell - amazing!

Thoughts:

1. In the future, I'd use an old 'blender bottle' with a wire 'blender ball' to mix this up. I'd add some powder first and THEN add the water (reversing the way I did it initially). I think it'd be easier to mix up and would result in a thicker consistency that would be easier to spread/apply.

2. Since I had trouble evenly applying this to my legs, I would enlist a friend's help in the future - I'd imagine that the upper/back portion of the legs would be hard to ensure even coverage, not to mention more sensitive areas.

3. In the future, I'd leave this on my legs for the full 7 minutes.

the smell almost knocked me out but i love this product
