Quest For the Hairless Prima Donna

I have completed the next trial in my quest for a hair removal method not involving potential open wounds.

Today I was seduced by the promises of the bladeless shaving kit. Hmm … it’s just normal hair removal cream that you scrape off with a razor-shaped scraper, isn’t it? Marketing ploy, ahoy! Nevertheless, it’s worth a go.

Compared to the cold wax strips, plenty more disadvantages were apparent from the word go, the major ones being the mess and potential for hair-free cats. Doing a leg was disturbingly like boiling an egg – lots of tedious waiting around for three minutes.

That was how long it was meant to take for the hairs to loosen. Slightly thicker ones may need a little longer, but under no circumstances was I to let the cream take effect for more than six minutes.

I’m not quite sure what kind of nuclear waste-based solvent I need, but six minutes was not enough. Granted, a large proportion of them did come away, albeit in varying degrees. So now I just look like I have mange - but with silky soft skin.

The cats still appear to have all their fur.
