Prepare for sticky fingers, a sticky house and a clogged bathtub/sink
This is why I would NOT buy this after trying it out: 1. Takes about 1h to heat up. This didn't bother me too much. 2. The big applicator is still too small. The smaller ones are useless. Worse than 1. but still good. 3. This wax (the soft one) is darn sticky - the stickies thing I've ever experienced! I had to stop mid-process because I could not un-stick the applicator off my hand. Anyhow, could not use my fingers anymore. Took pictures of sticky fingers, will post them. Tried for about an hour to wash that wax off - used soap (liquid/solid), alcohol and nail polish remover. Nothing works. Clogged my bathtub, need to call someone tomorrow. I am lucky to be renting, otherwise I'd had to pay for that. My place is a sticky mess. I can type because I "dried" my hands in paper towel and it did stick to my fingers. Will post pics of that, too. I'll give it one more try with hard wax (got one box separately) and will update this. So far, disaster. Forgot to mention - I used to do this all the time myself, with good, hard wax from Eastern Europe. Heated in a dedicated pot, using a nice, wooden kitchen spatula. I guess I'll go back at improvising. Ok, there is something positive to say - it does remove hair nicely and it doesn't hurt AT ALL. But it got too messy before I could finish so now I'm walking around "half-done"!
