Simple and sweet

I have been waxing myself since the last 12 years and always wanted to buy a wax warmer. Bought this product as it was on sale along with waxing strips, 14 oz wax can and a [useless] DVD. I have considerable experience in self waxing and one thing I can tell for sure is that all those other supplemental products (other than the wax itself) are just waste of money. Baby powder or any generic powder will work just as well to rid your skin of any pre-moisture. Best is to start waxing on a relaxed Sunday morning before your shower, making sure you are not too sweaty and maybe wipe your armpits etc with a dry towel before starting. Same for post-wax products. As somebody else mentioned, baby oil works very well to remove residual wax. Liberally rub baby oil all over waxed body and get into the shower. One tip for those who have been getting wax all over the place- dedicate an old bedsheet to the waxing process and spread it wide over the bathroom floor before you begin. Also, I didnt like the thin muslin strips so much as they shed a lot of thread which sticks to your fingers and is messy. I have also used strips made from old jeans legs before and these are perfect ! Cut them in 2.5" X 8" length and you're all set. For face you can use a thinner cloth. The #225 is fantastic, it keeps the wax at the perfect temperature after 30 minutes. When I used to wax using microwaveable wax, I had to run again and again to heat the wax and it took me 3 times the time to finish my waxing. With this wax warmer I am done with EVERYTHING in 1 hr max (including cleaning up). For those who are used to shaving, I would say try waxing once- you dont have to spend 15 minutes twice a week shaving yourself (which amounts to more time than waxing actually), plus waxing is soooo much smoother (NO stubble), and healthier for the skin too. AND the hair do not return all coarse and spiney. This warmer should give a good start. DO NOT pour wax directly into the metal container of the warmer. Just place the wax tin into it with the collar on the tin and remove the plastic cover of the wax tin. Wipe off the warmer surface with a cotton ball dipped in baby oil in the end to get rid of any sticky wax.

Great for Beginners!

I just bought the economy warmer last night and couldn't wait to try it out! I've been getting professionally waxed for the past few years but it was just too much of a hassle to work around someone else's schedule. But anyways, I'm pretty accustomed to the whole process and figured I could do it myself and with this warmer, I COULD! It was simple to use, just follow the directions. Just place the wax can into the warmer, remove its plastic lid, and turn it on high. It takes a good 30 minutes to heat up to the right consistency. But some tips I picked up were to use a metal butter knife instead of the wooden/plastic spatulas you can buy at the store - it works like a dream and is reusable. Also instead of buying the expensive cloths to remove the wax, I just cut up strips of an old pair of jeans....you can cut atleast 50-60 strips this way. Unfortunately, they're not reusable (they may be but it seems like too much of a hassle to try to wash this wax off). Also I used some baby oil to remove the wax once I was done instead of buying the wax off. It worked very well and I was able to clean up all the mess I made afterwards (my bathroom counter and my rug). My last word of advice would be to use gloves - b/c once the wax gets on your fingers (which it most likely will) it makes it very difficult to continue waxing, but with the gloves it was much more bearable.

All in all, it took me about an hour once the wax was warmed up to do both legs and both arms - not bad!
