Not for Me
This is an attractive little gadget. It is shiny and ergonomically shaped to fit in your hand nicely. The blue is very bright and shiny. The "business" side is a little sticky, which I guess is how the hair removal takes place.<br /><br />There was a label directly over most of the brief instructions on the little box, but I was able to find them elsewhere. I followed them. I chose my forearm because it said to use a part of the body that did not have sensitive skin, and because I have never shaved there the hairs were easy to see. I also chose a small area on my leg in the back that I somehow always manage to miss when shaving, so I knew I'd have that 2-3 week window that they instruct you leave open between uses of this stone. I made sure my skin was clean and dry and totally free from lotions, etc.<br /><br />Then I moved the Hair Eraser in a circular motion, using some pressure but not being too aggressive. I have to say that maybe I'm missing something, but there is no way I'm devoting the time it would take to do my legs and actually remove the hair. You will see from the photos I'll upload that, while some hair was removed, it was not a whole lot. The spot on my leg was better, so maybe it works better on shorter hair, but it is still time consuming. It has a pumice effect, and there was some flaking. I stopped when it started to feel like I might damage the skin. The skin on my arm and that one area of my leg experienced a mild burning sensation afterwards. I did use a moisturizer afterwards, and you definitely need it. My skin was flaky.<br /><br />Frankly, I prefer shaving. It is quick. Sure you may nick yourself, but it doesn't happen that often. The stone is already a little scratched from just this one use. I don't see it lasting more than a few months.
