A while ago I watched the tv adaptation of "the underground railroad" and theres a scene where one of the main characters uses a kind of hair-removing or growth-inhibiting cream to "shave" without using a razor. Anyone know if that's a real thing?
- r2_pilot 2y agoNair exists as a product (basically potassium thioglycolate and calcium hydroxide).

It's expensive if you use it regularly and shaving is easier cuz you have to let the Nair sit on your skin for several minutes IIRC (it was 25 yrs ago).
- mikestew 2y agoI’m not familiar with the TV you are referring to, but there are certainly creams as you describe: https://www.naircare.com/en/products/bladeless-shave-lavender https://www.naircare.com/en/products/bladeless-shave-lavende... I wouldn’t use it on my face, but it worked fine on my legs back when I was racing bicycles.
