Razors vs. Depilatories

Why shaving leaves you
prickly within hours

Ever wonder why the smoothest shave can feel so rough and stubbly just a few hours later? Well, there is a simple explanation. First, shaving literally slices off the hair's end—leaving behind a sharp edge on the end of each hair. Second, these sharp ends lie right at the surface of your skin. As soon as your hair starts growing (within hours), this sharp edge is exposed. Ouch!

Why are creams so
much better?

Smoother. Easier. Longer-lasting. No nicks or ugly razor stubble. It's not magic. Veet® Creams work so well because they go below the surface to dissolve the proteins that make up hair. So you're left feeling smoother for up to twice as long as shaving.

For the longest lasting
smoothness – Try waxing!

Because waxing removes hair from the root, you're left with a silky-smooth feeling that can last up to 4 weeks. When the hair eventually grows back, it's often sparser and softer too. Veet’s® waxing solutions are easy to use and far more comfortable than you might imagine. So give waxing a try and stop waiting for that prickly stubble to return — it won't.
