It would work, you just have to remember to not let the flame stay to lit. After about 10 seconds you can start to feel it after the vapors have burned away. I was a pyro at a young age and used to do this in the bathroom for fun. It's really fun to do it with the lights out. Pretty blue flame. That's the key. You can't do it with lots of light on because you really don't know that you're on fire, I know that sounds stupid but it's the truth.

Flame Clipping Udders on Dairy Cows.
Works for our bovine friends. Why not? I say give it a try and you could even win 10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos.

How do you think they get that smokey flavor in your Gouda?

This does work. Back in my younger, more stupid, days I did this on my arm with a can of Axe spray deodorant. It does burn the hair but it will start to burn the skin. Just have something around to put it out with.

I have done this. Works with no burns. Would not think it would be a good idea to use it for legs. Did it with my hands. Definitely do it lights out since the flame is blue like someone said above. And ten seconds will definitely get you burned.
Learned it from my high school biology teacher.
