    I bought that hair removal cream for men, and used some the other day. But It said use the scraper to remove the hair, but I was curious as to whether I can just wash the hair off instead? Will this work as well or not?

    I've used it and it didn't work at all for me. That said, if it actually works like it's supposed to for you then washing it off, in theory, ought to be fine.

    I do that because the scraper thing used to cut me for some reason. I used the girl version, but I wouldn't imagine that there's any difference. Using a body sponge thing helps because the cream is bit gunky.

    You can also get special shower veet that you put on, shower and wash, then you just rub it off with the sponge they give you (or use your own.)

    You can get it from Boots BUT I get mine from the 99p store, same thing for much cheaper! ..but the instructions are in Japanese on mine

    You should scrape then wash or scrape under running water. It just needs a bit of elbow grease to detach the very much weakened hairs.
