Ive looked at this thread a couple of times, hoping to see someone else respond with some advice, and there are numerous threads on the same topic, with varying advice. Ive picked up a bottle of nair for men, and Im going to try that and see how it works on my legs and arms. I tried a little patch on my thigh, and it definitely took "some" of the hair off, it didnt burn, but it was definitely getting to the point of an pretty intense tingling sensation when I took it off, so you have to follow the directions. Im a pretty hairy guy, so if it really thins out the hair and then I just have to shave it up to neatin out whats left, that will be fine for me.. Its less than 10 bucks, so buy a bottle and give it a try, let us know how you make out.
