At this point the "shaved" part of your body most likely smells like a burnt down barber shop, so it is probably in your best interest to bath, or at least cover it up with something more potent smelling.



What I recommend: Take a nice long shower, scrubbing the "shaved" area throughly. After the shower rub the area down with some nice soothing aloe.

What I did: Bought a bottle of lighter fluid and splashed it on my face (a la aftershave) just for the hell of it.

If the object was to save time, I think it was defeated by suggesting a shower afterward. Splash some warm water on your face and just run a damn razor over the baby fuzz. ...but yes, original idea.

Not only is it FAIRLY original, they also do this in some countries and maybe even some places in America as a "shaving" technique. XD

Hahaha, I use the same lighter fluid in my zippo. I had a torch lighter for a while that ran off butane, and I discovered that when I first lit it that it would shoot out a stream of heat and I could burn a small circular patch of hair on my arm with the fire never getting close.

This, coupled with your fireshaving method, has the potential to be a huge timesaver for businessmen. Just throw on a fireproof hood that covers the parts of your face you don't want to expose to heat and blast a heatwave at yourself.

I don't have the energy to consider this any further than this one comment, but I can see it happening. Not likely, but it's possible.

*dies laughing* That is the absolute best response you could have given. Bravo. XD Meanwhile, I'm all for quicker ways to get rid of unwanted hair, but I'm not sure I have the nerve to try this on my legs.
