Suggest you read the most helpful reviews, caution some strong words in said reviews.
Randy Amarus' review is a classic...;)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA...........
Funniest shizzle I've read for ages :-)
"....In their place is a maroon coloured bag of agony which sends stabs of pain up my body every time it grazes against my thigh or an article of clothing. I am suffering so that you don't have to. Heed my lesson..."

But why in the name of Merlin's baggy Y fronts does anyone of either gender, bikini lines excepted, want to 'exfoliate' down there?

The bloke who wrote all those reviews ought to be a standup comic - he's very funny.
|
No joke. True story follows.
When our daughter still lived with us she left a partly used bottle of the stuff in the shower.
I then started to shower, saw the bottle of "shampoo" but noted that I hadn't heard of that brand before. I poured some onto my hand and just before lathering my head I thought that maybe I should just check and so read the label.
One of my luckiest escapes ever.

Apologies, i knew i'd seen it before, but my daughter sent it over and i didn't think it had been aired here.
This total dehairing of the bits seems to be the in thing, not as i'm going to try Veet meself.
The funniest bit of the saga is that he scores the product 5 even though his bits may drop off, brilliant.

The preparation for my inguinal hernia repair operation included shaving my pubes ~ with a disposable razor and no shaving cream or soap. That was bad enough.
|
|
Belatedly "Rising on a point of Order, Mr Speaker" exfoliating is the removal of loose flakes of skin with an abrasive cream. Veet is for depilating and not for piles BTW! That would really hurt!
|
|
Almost as good as rubbing the gusset of your brothers/sisters underwear (whilst their clean and in the drawer!!) with a hot chille-pepper! (green ones dont leave tell-tale marks) then watching their reaction s when they`ve put them on!
|
|
My goodness, Devonite, and I thought my brothers were bad!
|
>> D-i-y or nurse assisted?
>>
It was carried out by a male hospital orderly.
|
|
In what century was that done! :) Now all pre-op shaving is carried out just before you prep and drape the patient to reduce the incidence of skin infections, we use a battery powered razor with disposable heads.
|
Lots of surgical procedures were performed on a 'best guess basis' or because it suited the surgeon rather than the patient.
Funnily enough starving patients before surgery doesn't help recovery, and as RD says, shaving skin is the best way to cause rashes/infections so should be done as little as possible.
As the centuries go by scientific rather than anecdotal evidence is helping to bring the barbers and chirurgeons out of the stone age :-)

My lower back wasn't shaved 12 days ago when my back was opened up! (If it was I didn't notice; it's not bristly now and the post op. plaster hurt when it came off, to have 23 or so staples removed at our local surgery!)

Destapled, a few minutes later:- i115.photobucket.com/albums/n297/penfro/Back2.jpg
Colour variation in skin tone down to my official photographer!

Ouch!!! I'm glad I had self dissolving sutures in my hip.
|

Well, somebody has to ask!
What was the operation for?
How long did it take?
What length was the incision?
What pulls the flesh together when it's being stapled?
What shape are the staples inside the body?

Lumbar decompression. A fancy name for chopping/grinding off bony spurs from one's spine which are compressing the sciatic nerve. The symptoms: numb and painful trotters, pain in the back of thighs & legs and a disinclination to walk as it hurts!
The consultant neurosurgeon told us that he had spent an hour and a half with a diamond tipped drill doing so in two separate locations. One was particularly large, apparently. This was the second attempt to sort out the problem, as the first one last May had actually exacerbated it; the consultant remarking that he had probably been a bit too conservative the first time round. This meant he had to operate above and below the previous location.
Incision length is about 8 or 9 inches.
Dunno.
The staples are quite small and sort of elongated "W" shaped. They only penetrate about a quarter of an inch or so and if there are internal stitches I don't know about them!
The wound has not really hurt, only very moderate painkillers needed and those not every day.
Early days yet to see if it has fully worked - feet are still numbish but actually my walking is better, with the constant feeling of knackered thigh & calf muscles quite improved.

I could do with a lend of that diamond drill, Dodger, as I need to drill a hole in a granite lintel above my inglenook.
Get well soon BTW ;)

20th century.

OK, a related tale of woe and ignorance to follow...
Once upon a time in a land far far away, a guy I knew, ( no it wasn't me ) used to do this thing with lighter fuel petrol. You know the stuff tobacconists sold ( maybe still do ) in little yellow cans with a fold over spout?
Anyway, he used to squirt some of this lighter fluid on his fingers and then light it with his hand held up in the air as a sort of party trick. Yes, he was a bit of a nutter before you ask... But nonetheless, he'd perfected the technique so he didn't burn himself and it was pretty impressive, if a little disturbing, in the pub or whatever. It was in Edinburgh though and anyone who has been there in August will know that it was pretty tame really by comparison to what some of the street entertainers do.
Well, thing is, he decided one night after a sesh in the pub that what would make him more attractive to women would be to have a bald set of privates. Like I said, he was a bit of a bampot.
You are probably ahead of me by now right? What's more your worst suspicions are absolutely on the money. He poured some lighter fuel on his meat and two veg, lay on his arched back to emulate the "burning hand in the air" trick and flipped the Zippo on...
He did manage to crawl to the phone afterwards having put himself out with a damp dishcloth. I took the call and volunteered to take him to A&E at the Infirmary. By the time we got there he really wasn't feeling too good and had stuffed a bag of frozen peas down his tracky bottoms which were the only garment he could bear to put on.
Well, I left him in the car because walking was now seeming a bit of a challenge and went to the desk in A&E to request assistance. As you can imagine, the staff on duty, and to be fair I too were by now having great difficulty in maintaining any kind of decorum or sympathy and I can see him now being wheeled into a treatment room by a porter with tears of laughter falling down his otherwise discreetly silent face.
Every member of the medical staff who visited him emerged with shoulders shaking and I'm quite sure he was seen by far more of them than was strictly necessary to treat his injuries.
He did eventually recover but forever more was known as "Excel" (as in Fireball XL5) in our group.
He's a solicitor now.

There used to be a party trick of setting fire to human generated methane known more commonly as F*rts or Carbon Dibackside!

S'funny the things we hold in the deepest darkest depths of our memory banks.
Way back in the early 1970's, I used to play Les Paul in a band (group!)
We toured the States, Europe, nigh-on all of Asia (then I woke up)
Anyway, our drummer tried that once (and only once!) in fact his g/f fired up the gas :(
(I know/knew some very, very strange people)

Thanks Humph
Is lighter fuel any good for getting beer out of a laptop keyboard.
