A bunch of stuff pretty similar to modern creams, but also a bunch of weird shit sometimes like processed dung and often extremely dilute quicklime, which is a hell of an exfoliator.
Look up Gli Experimenti by Caterina Sforza (yes the Assassin's Creed 2 one) for some examples.
The parts of me that get hairy (which is not really very many parts) I don't mind at all. I guess maybe if you have really thick/aggressive body hair it might be a problem, but I could be perfectly content pretty much never trimming anything. I still do for the aesthetics if anyone's gonna see it, but otherwise :shrug-outta-hecks:
How do people shave is my question? It takes so long, and it's uncomfortable when you're wearing clothes on an area that's been shaved on the past week because the follicles keep getting caught
Because it would be impossible to remove everywhere lmao, I think I'm half ape at this point. I've been like this since I was like 10, by the end of highschool I had to shave my face every day, I don't really know otherwise. If I shave body hair it comes back almost immediately, and elipitation manually is super painful with so much hair. Creams would be the only way, but I've heard so many horror stories about it lol.
I used to use creams before moving on to epilation.
If you avoid applying it to particularly sensitive areas or parts prone to eczema, the irritation shouldn't actually be that bad. The main issues in depilatory cream is that it can be pretty expensive and can be awkward to intuit how much you need to use.
Your mileage may vary, I'm incredibly hairy and it can take a lot of cream to get rid of my body hair. But for others with thinner hair (or less extensive coverage), it might not actually be that bad.
Whenever I have to rip off a bandaid I wonder how extremely hirsute fellows (like Robin Williams, RIP) dealt with it. Because it's usually more painful than the accident that caused the cut in the first place and I'm only mildly haired.
i don't find my body hair itchy when it's fully grown out, am lazy and could never be bothered to shave regularly, shaving stubble is the itchiest of all, and ingrown hairs are annoying af

i just don't like being hairy
Huh is that why NBA players usually shave their armpits?
People have removed hair throughout history. It's just before 1900 in the west women mostly used depilation creams made at home, not razors.
that's interesting. what did they make it out of?

It's not that I enjoy being hairy it's that I enjoy spending all the time I would have spent on shaving doing literally anything else
You get used to it if you just leave it

Now that I think about I may be doing it wrong
I like my body hair except my armpit hair lol
