WHISH AWAY LEG STUBBLE
The official start of the summer season is two weeks away. It’s time to uncover and bare some skin. If that thought strikes fear and dread in your heart because the thought of hair removal makes you crazy, you should try Whish.
I received complimentary samples of Whish shaving cream and hair inhibiting swipes and I Whish this product had been around years ago. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
I am not the most hirsute among us – but that doesn’t stop me from shaving my legs every day. I like the way my smoothly shaved legs feel. I’ve been shaving every day for decades. It’s part of my morning ritual. I do it in the shower and it takes me no time to run the razor up and down my legs a few times.
Whish sent me a sample of their Shave Crave shaving cream in Blueberry. I’m all about aromatherapy and Whish Shave Crave didn’t disappoint. This scent is one in a line that includes Coconut, Almond, Pomegranate, Lemongrass and Lavender – and I intend to try all of them. Shave Crave is packaged in an airless pump that doesn’t utilize harmful propellants or parabens and each scent contains organic and natural ingredients and essential oils such as shea butter, jojoba seed oil, green tea and coconut oil that pamper skin and leave it feeling smooth and soft.
Shave Crave sells for $20.00 for a 5 oz jar that, according to the company, will last five months if used every day.
But that’s not all there is to Whish. They also have a line of hair inhibiting swipes and I think these are the neatest things to come along in years.
I wanted to give Whish hair inhibiting swipes a really good test and so I used them only on my right leg every day for two weeks. Then I cajoled everyone I could – my husband, my pedicurist and any friend or family member who was game – to feel my legs and tell me which one felt softer. The answers were unanimous. My right leg, the one on which I used Whish hair inhibiting swipes for two weeks, felt softer and smoother to everyone. The comments ranged from “no contest” to “it’s so obvious” to “what is this product? I need it.”
Whish hair inhibiting swipes are individually packaged towelettes that are infused with natural and organic ingredients including aloe, shea butter, panthenol to moisturize, and chapparell extract to inhibit hair growth.
The company literature says to use one swipe a day for a month to soften the hair follicle to allow for a smoother shave and less hair growth – but I noticed a difference after only a few days’ use. And, after two weeks, everyone who felt my legs was able to tell which one was the Whish leg.
Whish can be used on legs, underarms and other sensitive areas to inhibit hair growth to promote a smoother shave. Or use it pre-waxing or laser treatment to weaken the hair follicle for better results and less pain. Because of the soothing ingredients, Whish swipes can also be used post treatment to calm skin.
Bonus: Whish Hair Inhibiting Swipes smell great.
Whish Hair Inhibiting Swipes are available in two sizes: 8 count or 20 count. They cost $8.00 and $20.00 respectively.
Here’s a Hot Shaving Tip from Whish: Shave with the grain first and then, for an ultra smooth shave, reapply Shave Crave and shave against the grain.
