Nair Shower Power Max Pump w/ Sponge • 3 Strikes; In Or Out?

Instead of judging products on my first impression, I've decided to give things a second look. (Even a third if I want to use them up.) Here is the first post of many “3 Strikes; In Or Out” product reviews. 

Strike 1 • Applied without a proper timer & left on for about 6 minutes.

-Few Completely Smooth Areas

-Patchy Removal Leaving Stubble Behind

-Lasted About 3 Days (Usual Razors Last 3)

Strike 2 • Applied with a proper timer & left on for about 9 minutes.

-A Few More Completely Smooth Areas

-Less Patches

-Lasted About 3 Days (Usual Razors Last 3)

Strike 3 • Applied without a proper timer. After dry application, I went through my shower routine as the directions recommend.

-A Few More Completely Smooth Areas

-Patchy Removal Leaving Stubble Behind

-Lasted A Couple Days (Usual Razors Last 3)

Pros •

-Pump

-Stays On Surprisingly Well In Shower

Cons •

-Same Awful Smell

-Inconsistent Formula

-Unreliable Removal Sponge (I would have been better off using toilet paper!)

-Does Not Last Longer Than Shaving
