This is essentially a very fine grade of silicone-coated sand paper–about 600 grit. I would not use it on my face but it works well on removing leg hair and exfoliating the skin at the same time. You can buy ten large sheets of it for about $4.00 at Home Depot. An applicator isn’t necessary but you can always buy a sanding block.

I have tried these, but it all seems a bit too much effort for my liking. I need hair removal to be easier, not more labour intensive.

Hair does not grow back coarser from shaving. As we know ,the tip is blunt and only appears to be coarser upon regrowth. An old wives tale.Anyway,I thought that sanding away hair would sand away my skin as well,so I am glad you tried this unnecessary torture and warn others who are curious (that would be me too a little bit!). I say stick to waxing the upper lip
and shave your legs.A good shave is quick,smooth and inexpensive!

I actually used it once, back in the early 90’s, I think. It works for removing the hair, but as for making it grow back finer or sparser, feh. I frankly don’t remember what the regrowth was like (hey, it was 15 years ago!), but I can tell you that my legs still have hair growing out of them. I’d like to say they’re a bit sparser now than 15 years ago, but if it is indeed true, it’s probably because I’m 15 years older now, not as a result of anything I did to make it so. And to think, when I was in high school, I marveled at my mom’s hairless, unshaven, unwaxed legs!

Could you state whether or not it is a review at the beginning/title of the post? It would make it easier for those who do not like to read reviews to know that it is a review, instead of something scientific.
