This stuff is freaky!

I bought two tubes of this back around Christmas as Amazon had a sale on them. After seeing recommendations on both here and also Pnet that girls prefer the completely bald men. (Mine looks like the Bob Marley look normally)

It came and around January I tried using it and as I was paranoid I put a thin layer over my nether regions and waited the four minutes and tried to use the spatula and not one single hair came off so thought what a complete waste of money.

I have a punt planned for tomorrow and wanted to look my best for her. I hate shaving as it always leaves things rough so I bought some of the Morrisons own wax strips to clear the region.

Today I thought I paid for the stuff I am going to have one more go with it. So just pasted a load of it on all around the region and waited the max 6 mins as opposed to the stated on the bottle 4.

Jesus Christ this stuff is like battery acid it has shredded every single hair and left it soother than I have felt in my life.. Some of it accidentally went onto the lower part of my stomach and on inner part of my legs and its ripped all the hair off there too (not an attractive sight - looks like I have had radiotherapy or something).

This stuff is definitely worth buying over shavers or wax strips (which I have not tried).

Just be careful not to allow it to touch anywhere that you don't want to become bald there with.

Here's one:

VEET FOR MEN

Previously I had used the old-school method of a cutthroat razor, but as you can imagine, this was a tricky and delicate operation, and to make matters worse, it was difficult to get into a comfortable position in the chair at my local Barbers. Anyway, I am quite hairy down there and my snippet valve looks like Brian May's plughole so eventually the Barber said he could no longer per
form the task for me. He also said that looking up my whizzer every Saturday at 11:30 put him off his lunch, as he usually has toad-in-the-hole followed by chocolate-coated donuts as a Saturday treat.

He did not want to leave me in the lurch and said that he had read some excellent reviews on Amazon about Veet for Men and suggested I give it try.

Like many other reviewers, I made the mistake of not reading the bumph properly; I used the whole tube and completely coated my cock eggs, barse and nipsy with the stuff. Anyway, I lost track of time, and it was the foul stench of dissolving clinkers and melting hair that brought me to my senses. As I looked at my watch through the putrid fog that had formed around me, I could see that it had been applied for exactly 5 minutes 59 seconds. This presented me with a problem, as when the searing pain began, I was outside my flat, sat in the communal gardens, in a deck chair precisely 100 metres and 3 flights of stairs away from my bathroom. It was as if I had lowered my under-carriage through a volcano and into Hades, whereupon Beelzebub, annoyed by the uninvited intrusion, jabbed me in the rectum with his fork. xx

@Anth.   If after using you notice it is red and feeling hot or burning pour milk over it or brush natural yoghurt on with a pastry brush as either will cool it down and take the redness away.
Veet is awful stuff. If you use the recommended time it does not work but leaving it on longer works but burns.

To get a nice smooth feeling down there with shaving try using a gillette venus ladies razor with just water not shaving foam and it will be nice and smooth with no rough stubble left. Also for a few days after shaving use a bit of baby oil to ensure the hairs grow through soft and not prickly

Yeah it is burning.

What has just happened was I spent a good 15/20 minutes making sure all of it was washed off. First in the sink, then climbed in the bath making damned sure it was washed off.

Then washed out the bath. Did 30 mins on the exercise bike and then had a bath to make 100% sure the stuff is all off.

I had a bottle of water which I rested on the side of the bath to drink while getting the bath. And then got out. As I never drank the entire bottle of water I rinsed it under the bath tap for about a minute as I was paranoid about any of that Veet being on it from standing on the bath.

Got out grabbed a lounging around T shirt and the bottle of water in the same hand. Went to get dried. And after drying myself (and I swear to God this is true). The part of the navy blue T-Shirt which was touching the bottle of mineral water has turned a bright pink! This stuff is seriously stronger than battery acid. I am not even sure how that could've happened.

@Anth.   If after using you notice it is red and feeling hot or burning pour milk over it or brush natural yoghurt on with a pastry brush as either will cool it down and take the redness away.

Thanks for this Cassie and it was burning on climbing in the bath. After typing this post I was planning on putting some hand cream on there (that sounds weird saying that but it seems good for it as I don't have any Yoghurt).

The problem is the main place I wanted smooth was my Scrotum. Something that is virtually impossible to do with a razor blade. This has turned it first time in my life totally smooth. I will give it another go with the Razor you suggest though.

I have experimented with Veet. This is my routine:

Fill bath with warm water so it is ready for use after the 6 minutes is up.  ;)
Gently apply Veet. Do not apply to any broken or red skin. Do not get distracted.
Wait exactly 6 minutes.
Jump in bath and remove cream immediately.

Never had a problem getting this area smooth with a razor myself. You can't get it as smooth as waxing, for obvious reasons, but a razor shave is sufficient. I've only ever had my chest and back waxed professionally and it hurts, so I can imagine back, crack and sack would be a stinger.

I've had back and crack done professionally with wax a few times now and every time it hurts more than you remember to start with, but by the end you think "that wasn't so bad".

I've only ever shaved my balls, no wax or cream. I've decided now that it's hardly worth the aggro and I'll probably just keep my pubes trimmed very short (no. 2 level on my trimmer = approx 2mm, the no. 1 level leaves it too prickly). It's much, much quicker and I've had no complaints from WGs with them being willing to suck my balls just as much as when I'd been shaved.

a suggestion, why not go to a beauty salon and have a fit busty milf or teen do all the hard work? sounds good to me, and you might get a lil extra if you tip her, but  then again  there might  not be any girls and youd get a man who would try and bum you

Anyone ever done this before. And if so how much did it cost?

I saw it advertised for £75 in my local one. No never had it done, having chest waxing is painful enough.

Veet hurt me enough on a much less sensitive area that I've never been tempted to try it again.

Shaving works for me - I use 2 different methods:

Once per week, a good long soak in a hot bath, followed by a wet shave - I use gel designed for sensitive skin for this. Made a mistake once and bought some with menthol in it... won't be doing that again :scare:

In between, I'll dry shave with the same razor, but using baby talc (don't laugh) on the area I'm shaving - it works well, and gives a smooth shave!

I finish up by rubbing  some "Nivea for men sensitive post shave balm" into the freshly shaved area. Or savlon cream if it's irritated at all.
 
The result has been well received so far, and commented on several times.

I'm hairy. Never had a complaint from anyone whilst being intimate, with or without money changing hands. So until I receive a complaint I shall remain hairy & even then I'd stay hairy and see someone else. If I'm paying, then she has no right to complain, its not unhygienic, I'm always washed.

I don't even like women bald downstairs.

Naturally, I'm very hairy - and it actually irritates me, so I trim or shave regularly, and have for quite some time now. I do it primarily for myself rather than anyone else, as I'm more comfortable that way. I've never trimmed or shaved my arms, but everywhere else has been fair game over the years (head hasn't been shaved yet!).

The few topics and poll we had here on the subject it was a considerable minority those preferring hairy.

Thanks for the review Anth. I've been wanting to try this for a while as I find shaving a tiresome process and requires regular maintenance. When you say it burned did it really hurt? I notice Lurtz uses this stuff as well does it ever burn you when using your method? also how much do you apply? A thin layer?

Now does anyone know the best way to get rid of arse hair? I'm too pussy to go near it with a razor or clippers.

It only hurt once when I applied it to an area of skin at the top of my crotch (left hand side of my scrotum) that had a tiny abrasion.

I apply the cream liberally because it has to come into contact with the hair in order to dissolve it.

It I were you, I would start off by leaving it 4 minutes. If this proves in ineffective, I'd try 5 minutes. If this proves ineffective, I'd try 6 minutes.

I too have a separate gillette in the shower........(don't want to use the same one for sack and chin)......I find if you soap up 'the area' as soon as you get in the shower, by the time you have done your hair and elsewhere the 'area' is suitably soft and ready to shave......I do most mornings except when I have a hangover........using a sharp object close to your prized possession is never good when you are not 100% with it.....!!!!    :thumbsup:

Another choice Amazon review for VEET FOR MEN - I am sure these are rooted in reality.

External Link/Members Only

After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly succesful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat.

I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait.

At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned.

Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the drawer for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so.I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me.

This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.

Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good ". Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involutary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction.
I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status...So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect...:)

I know that many will say 'they're being paid to do it!'........but if a prossie (or any other encounter for that matter) spends more time and takes more care because I made some effort, then I feel it is worth it. The eyes are a give away. If they take you in their mouth and then grimmace (or cough/gag) as they encounter a pube in the throat then it can be a spoiler.......for me anyway. I am sure there are those who 'like to see 'em gag'!!

On a side note........shaved or trimmed is far healthier and hygienic.......very little sweating and chaffing.......limited redness and skin irritation........nice!

A girlfriend of mine once referred to an unshaven and unkempt pussy being like a 'salty old sea dog'.........and I guess the same applies to blokes!!

The burning was not when I was applying the stuff and waiting the 6 mins.

It was when I then got into the hot bath after all the air was gone it was a bit of a shock as that burned. Think the same level as putting after shave on after shaving your face but much longer lasting.

*Edit* This was definitely a success as today I had a booking and for the first time in any booking the girl went to town with testicle play (and I never even asked her). First time any escort has went near my scrotum or testicles while giving oral. So I can confirm bald scrotum means more mouth action.

When you say it burnt when you got into the bath, was that anything to do with the hot water? What are the instructions for removal? Is it any better washing it off in the shower? Now that you have removed it you will need to keep on top of it as when it gets to the stubbly stage you end up scratching ( trying to do it discretely, without attracting attention)

I know a coloured/black lad who uses veet for men. He puts it all over his head and beard, waits the recommended time then scrapes all the stuff off using a plastic store card then cleans the remainder with a damp cloth.

Im quite happy using a razor, but have learnt dont use a brand new blade and do it the night before just in case you nick yourself and draw blood, gives some recovery time.

No because the only place it was burning was in the area the hair has just removed.

All I will say as a summary I will be using the Veet again and rebuying some more when these two bottles are empty.

Just thought I would mention as a heads up I was looking for another supply of this for about two months but everywhere had went up in price from the four pound odd I had got it for to now in the £7 region.

Amazon had this thing where if I promised I would buy a load of it I can have 5% off which I was tooing and frowing against.

I figured I would just bite the bullet and pay the full whack £7 at Boots but was surprised to find it on their 3 for 2 deal at the Metrocentre just now (but I am guessing its nationwide).

Its a very good deal so figured worth a heads up for those wanting to get rid of hair too.

That is a fucking hilarious read. I tried Veet once myself, and while not suffering as much as that poor bloke, the stuff definitely stung, even after washing my balls 2 or 3 times. And to make matters worse, no fucking hair came off. The final insult was, after a few days they looked like they were suffering from severe dandruff as all the skin started flaking. Needless to say that was the first and last time I used that shit. I now have them waxed once a month by a very slim, very pretty lady. And before anyone asks, no, she's not an escort, and neither does she provide hr or anything else.

I went through a stage of doing this (after my one and only attempt with Veet), using the sideburn trimmer of my electric razor. But despite pulling my sack as tight as possible, I quite often ended up catching a bit of skin in the trimmer, and by Christ does that make you see stars. It's waxing every time for me now.

If you trim with clippers or a beard and trimmer and use a straight razor to do the rest you will find it easier. Clippers can't cut close enough, unless you are going for the stubble look. I use clippers for long hair only.

I was just trying to trim as short as was possible with the sideburn trimmer, but as mentioned above, caught skin once too often so now go for the wax once a month and love the results.

I figured I would just bite the bullet and pay the full whack £7 at Boots but was surprised to find it on their 3 for 2 deal at the Metrocentre just now (but I am guessing its nationwide).

Its a very good deal so figured worth a heads up for those wanting to get rid of hair too.

Are you sure? -I happened to be in Poundland earlier and they have it in there.  (For £1 obviously)
