However, neither product tastes as good as or has a better name than the hair removal product, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nads.com\/index_nonflash.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nads<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I applied the Veet to my legs and let it sit for three minutes, I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel any burning.  However, later when I applied it to my chest, it stung pretty badly and left my chest red and irritated for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>After the three minutes were up, I used the Rasera Bladeless Tool (ie squeegee), to remove the hair from my legs.  Overall, it got rid of the hair pretty well, although there were areas on my legs that still had hair.  However, having patches of hair on my legs might\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had to do with the fact that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never shaved my legs before and I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see the back of my legs very well.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/5966259847\/\" title=\"Veet Aloe Vera Rasera Bladeless Kit Results by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6127\/5966259847_d33176843d.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Veet Aloe Vera Rasera Bladeless Kit Results\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_top&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=theimpulsivbu-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as4&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;ref=ss_til&#038;asins=B001KYPZ4G\" style=\"float:left;padding-right:10px;width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>Too bad I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not possessed, because as we all learned from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0070047\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linda Blair<\/a>, possessed people are able to turn their heads around 360 degrees.  Oh yeah, and R2D2 too.<\/p>\n<p>So I had hairless legs, but I think my skin was numb because I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel the air coming out from my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vornado.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vornado<\/a> fan.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, having hairless legs made me feel more aerodynamic.  It made me want to put a band aid on my legs and rip it off to know what it feels like to not have the band aid rip out a few legs hair.  It allowed me to close my eyes, stroke my legs, and a pretend I was with a woman.  <\/p>\n<p>It also made me cold.<\/p>\n<p>Without the insulation of my hairy legs, I believe my body dropped slightly in temperature, which caused me to get sick last week.  <\/p>\n<p>DAMN YOU, VEET!  DAMN YOU!<\/p>\n<p>But alas, just like most of Jennifer Lopez&#8217;s romantic relationships, I knew it couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t last forever.  After one day, I could start to feel stubble on my legs.  However, hair anywhere on my body grows back very quickly, so your mileage will probably vary.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Veet Aloe Vera Rasera Bladeless Kit<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  $9.89<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Rasera Bladeless Tool (ie squeegee).
