Does Nair cause razor burn?

Q: i was wondering if Nair for men caused razor burn like a razor does? cuz i was contemplating using it for places i dont like to shave with a razor so i dont wanna use it if it will have the same effects. speak from experience plz. peace.

A: No it doesn’t, but it can BURN the skin BADLY! better get the stuff for your tender spots…made just for the face!…. Razor burn is caused when ‘slicing off the tops of pores’… burn from a dipilitory (Nair)…is to the entire skin! not just bumps. But, if you do burn yourself with Nair, you’ll wish you had given yourself razor burn instead….it’s THAT bad. If it says not to leave on over 5 minutes then get it off NO LONGER THAN 5 MINUTES LATER!!…& be ready with a cool wet wash basin and wash cloth and BLOT the Nair off gently…do NOT rub the skin— And don’t use any soap or wash products & don’t use anything like tanning lotion afterward for at least 2 hours. I use a facial lotion on the freshly Nair-ed skin, and that seems to soothe it a lot.
