As a guy, just couldn't afford to pay $90+ for Brazilian wax charged here. Used baby powder instead of oil and worked really well. Boiled water in a ceramic bowl then set the melted wax container in that bowl to keep temp warm. Worked well. Only had to reheat once. Instead of trying to pull strip in one pull by myself (which I was having difficulty with, I took thumb or finger and once had a corner of the wax rolled up, flicked it little by little with the finger/thumb and that worked well with seemingly less pain.
