New method:
Get a lemon, squeeze juice into pan.
Cup of sugar. Boil both over high heat, stirring till dark golden brown.
Pour out of pan onto greased cold surface, wet hands, push it around a bit to cool down and until it is wax like in consistency.
Wet towel.
using the towel to wet your hands periodically, begin to wax legs by pushing sugar ball down onto skin using both thumbs and immediately ripping upwards with fingers. Repeat until both legs are smooth.
Total cost= minimal.
Pain= minimal
Smoothness= maximal.
And no pesky bumps from razor burn/ wax irritation.
10/10, will do again.
Side note: if you make this and don't shove it on your legs, you can mix in a dash of sea salt, cool it down, and then pull it to make really quite nice lemon sherbet candies.
