Nair has been available for decades for women’s leg hair. There is even a Nair product for pubic hair. Are you telling me that the skin around a female’s pubic area is less sensitive than a man’s face?
Why is nothing available for men?
(Don’t tell me Gillette bought the rights and refuses to release it!)
It’s not meant to be used around the pubic area. Google “nair danger face” to find out more than anybody needs to know about why it’s a bad idea.
as i recall the women’s stuff stank. i wouldn’t want that on my face.
the stuff is alkaline and hazardous to eyes, nose, ears and mouth.
Just a WAG but I bet Nair works on the face. I would talk to Women who have used stuff like this Long Before, I ever tried it though. I am under the impression it can be a rather unpleasant experience.
If you do this please post pics pre and post

Googling Nair and face brought up these

Men’s facial hair is pretty tough compared to arm and leg hair. Waxing and creams are just less effective and there isn’t pressure in the marketplace to develop alternatives. And messing around with strong chemicals by mucous membranes is dangerous.
I saw some stuff at Target over the weekend. I don’t remember the name but it was a razorless shave cream. A quick google came up with Magic Shave.
Why would anybody want this?

[li]shaving is fast. Hair removal creme takes several minutes to work, plus more time to clean up afterwards.[/li][li]Shaving is cheap. Hair removal creme is expensive – usually $1-$2 per use. Razor blades cost anywhere from 10¢ to 60¢ per use. And a straight razor or electric shaver is much, much cheaper – almost incalculably low.[/li][li]Shaving is easy. Most men do it every day, automatically, when only half-awake, with hardly any problems. Hair removal creme would require applying smelly, unpleasant, semi-toxic chemicals near your nose, eyes, & mouth.[/li][/ul]
People won’t buy it unless it’s better. In what way would hair removal creme be better?
Google up “shaving powder”. Black men use it because it causes fewer “shaving bumps.” I knew a guy who used it on his face and head every few days instead of shaving.
Before I grew a beard, I used shaving powder all the time.
Magic shaving powder and Magic Shave cream any large drugstore will have this stuff, either with the shaving stuff, or with ethnic hair care products. It has been on the market for many years.
I tried Nair on my face when I was a dumb teenager. Once. As I recall, it ate little holes in my skin and pretty much left the hair unchanged.
So california jobcase and Cub Mistress - any info on how well it works? (Me, I have a beard.)
Imagine this. A product that you apply to your face like shaving cream as you enter the shower. Then you take a minute to soap up and scrub your body as you normally in the shower. After this you wash off the product from your face and it feels like a baby’s bottom.
At say, 25 cents an application, you wouldn’t use this product? Its coming, but I don’t know why its taking so long. In the very near future young men will marvel at the fact that their elders actually had to take a razor to their face to remove their bread.
The drug company that comes up with it will make Billions.
I tried Nair once as an experiment, because shaving left rough stubble on my face (in the days before 5-blades.)
Basically, this stuff “dissolves” hair. The results were mixed.
First, it left my neck a bit reddish and tender, like a mild sunburn. Meanwhile, it did not fully remove probably 50% of the hair, even though I tried 10 minutes rather than the recommended 5.
Basically, you have a strong chemical that dissolves hair - basically IIRC protein. It’s going to do a number on skin too, and there’s a limit to how “targeted” you can make this sort of chemical. Also, men’s beard hair (or at least mine…) is a lot thicker than women’s leg hair (depends on the woman, I suppose). So something that will dissolve thin hair will take a lot longer to eat through wiry beard.
Besides - hopefully, your average woman shaves/nairs maybe once or twice a week whether they need it or not? If I miss a day, I look even darker than Richard Nixon in a TV debate. Plus, unless you have the Ned Flanders look, you’ll be spreading that stuff right up to your nose and around your mouth.
I love typos like that, where you can conjure up a daft mental picture to go with it! 
“Really grandpa? Back in the old days, men grew bread on their chins? Really? Bread! And they had to harvest it with knives! Cor!”
What Nair does is liquefy keratin. Keratin is the key structural component of hair. It also makes up a good portion of your outer layer of skin. Leave it on too long, and you’ve got a nasty chemical burn, on your face. That’s why.
My husband’s beard hair is much thicker in diameter than even my pubic hair. As Nair dissolves proteins through contact, it works from the outside in, it’s not going to have time to work on your beard hair before it works on your skin. It may weaken it and make it a little easier to shave off, but it won’t get rid of all of it unless you have uncommonly fine facial hair.
Nair is okay to use on “the bikini area”, but not the pink mucus membranes inside or between the labia, around the vagina or around the anus. Basically, I use it to remove the bulk of the hair on the skin-skin, especially the hard to shave crease on the groin, but it doesn’t get everything before I have to rinse it off because ow. I have to finish up with a razor.
I don’t know how well the Magic Shave stuff works, or if it works on non-African facial hair. African hair is generally much finer than others’ hair, and flat like a ribbon instead of round, so there’s more surface area to work with. And it has mixed reviews on both Amazon and drugstore.com
I have a thing of magic shave somewhere unless I threw it out last time I moved. I never found it as effective or less time consuming than just shaving.
There are reviews of African hair on Amazon and drugstore.com? Man, you can find anything on the Internet!
