You might be more comfortable spreading it on a sandwich, but the cool kids are using peanut butter as a type of all-natural shaving cream for legs.Â
It’s not actually as bonkers as it sounds. As well as smelling delicious, peanut butter is packed with Vitamin E and moisturising oils. Devotees advise applying a thin layer of (smooth) peanut butter to wet legs and rubbing in before shaving.
While the benefits intrigue us, blogger Maxine Builder, who put the peanut butter shaving cream to the test, warns that application was “in a word, disgusting.”
Reviewing the process, Builder said:
“It was so thick and difficult to spread that it would’ve taken the whole jar to coat just one of my legs. As I pulled the razor up my leg, I could see the peanut butter forming these weird globs, and after one swipe, the blades were coated, rendering the razor almost unusable for a second go-round.”
Revulsion aside, she did however report that her skin was exceptionally smooth afterwards.
