You need to really rip it off,
right?
I'm gonna start off
with the mustache.
Ready? One, two, three.
Ohh!
As you may have seen before
on "One Star Reviews,"
I usually visit businesses that
have rated quite low online,
and I put their reviews
to the test in real life.
However, reviews go
just beyond businesses.
They go all the way to products.
People have a lot to say
about products.
So, I'm gonna head
onto the Internet,
order some of these products,
and put it to the test
for myself.
I'm gonna order
a DIY waxing kit.

Alright. So, a lot of these
at-home waxing products
are quite highly rated.
Oh, wait. We're getting
a little lower now.

-I read the instructions,
but the wax
just stuck to my back
and didn't pull any hair off.
I ended up shaving it.
-This is for a woman
or men with women hair.
-I expected wax strips.
What I got was a bunch
of sticky, messy,
glue-like stuff sandwiched...
-Product made in South Africa.
-...between thin pieces of...
-No wonder it doesn't work.
-...plastic film.
-Well, there's a lot
of negative reviews
on this one.
That's for damn sure.
But I'm gonna
order it for myself
and hope for the best.

Hair Removal Wax Strips.
A safe and easy way
to remove unwanted hair,
leaving skin smooth
and hair-free for weeks.
Legs, bikini, chest, and back.
I guess it doesn't mention face.
I wanted to test this product
to the very limit.
Judging by how much hair
I had on my face
from not shaving for so long,
that was clearly
the best option.
Alright. Let's see what
we have in the box.
This one actually seems to come
with a lot of instructions,
which is quite nice.
"Warm double strip.
Slowly separate
the double strip.
Apply the sticky side
of the wax strip to the skin.
Rub it vigorously
between your hands.
Press wax strip
on area to be waxed."

Did it get any of my hair off?

It got, like, what,
like four hairs?

My God, that hurt!
Ohh!
My God!
Aah!
Is it even gettting
any of my hair off?
Ugh!
Well, the wax kit
definitely did not seem
to work on my face.
But everyone in life
deserves a second chance,
so I decided to call
Blue Steel directly
and see if they could help me
wax my chest this time.

Hello,
is this Blue Steel Sports?
I just ordered your product.
It's your company?

Okay.
I actually tried a little bit
on my face before,
but it didn't really quite work.
But maybe the face
is not a good idea.
Would this potentially
work on the chest
or, like, kind of
around the nipple area?
Exactly?
So far, Blue Steel's
customer service was on point.
I wanted to give her product
a true and fair test,
and she was kind enough
to donate her time
to talk to me through
waxing my chest,
step by step.
I noticed when I peeled
one of them off,
it didn't quite come off
smoothly.
Got it.
[ Plastic squeaking ]
[ Squeaking continues ]
Yeah.
I'm not super hairy.
I think this should be good.
Okay, thanks.
I'm gonna give that a go.
Holy cow!
It worked!
Whoa!
Which, yeah, kind of
initially happened with me,
but now that I spoke with you
and kind of took the time
to read through the directions,
I've noticed, actually,
I'm missing a full patch of hair
on my chest now.
The center of my chest
was as smooth as a seal.
Thank you, Blue Steel.
While I had the owner
on the line,
I had to get to the bottom
of the negative reviews.
Have you seen any of the reviews
where some people were saying,
you know,
about the sticky residue?
Is there any sort of message
you might want to give someone,
you know, before they go
and write a negative review?

I ordered this product
in hopes of waxing
my face and nipple areas
but ended up with
a perfectly waxed chest
because, in actuality,
it's not meant for the face.
In today's age,
so many people are quick
to negatively review a product
based on
their personal negligence,
not the actual
product's function.
This product, in fact,
works fantastically
when done right.
If we can all just step back
for a moment and have a breather
and read
the instructions through,
you will be happier
with all of life's results.
Otherwise,
you're just gonna end up
covered in goop and whatever
hairy body you began with.
So, thank you, Blue Steel.
Maybe I'll hit the beach
in like three to nine months.
Okay.

Can you just, like,
get it for me?
