What is the point of waxing? It seems excessive to me. Maybe for a special date or something. It's only going to last marginally longer than if you use an electric bodygroom razor or similar.

An electric razor will not get as close as a manual razor. A manual razor only cuts the tops off the hair follicles, and leaves stubble. Wax lifts the hair follicles out from the root (and probably the top layer of dead skin) so not only do they take much longer to grow back, but there's no sharp stubble, and a much smoother effect.

Rogue you're pretty into this dude, you want in?

OMG a threesome!!! LMAO

I think I live a bit too far away for that. Besides, I'm not overly hairy and because I've got red hair, most of my body hair is light so you don't notice that much. I've been thinking about getting my hair cut, if that counts (it's about time - it's over two feet long...).

What EXACTLY do they wax on males? I would have thought it would just be the... shrubbery around the base of the tree, and not the coinpurse or anywhere else.</end quote></div>

Usually legs and chest, and sometimes the holy trinity of back, sack & crack.

No, I mean what specifically do they wax downtown?

Man, need to read slower. We're talking about waxing and shaving pubes and you throw in something about your hair being over two feet long.

He's not talking about shaving clean, I think he's suggesting just trimming it, which sounds much more practical. You know, take some clippers with a 2 or 3 setting to the region.

I mean, geez, he's gonna have stubble down there after a week unless he keeps this up weekly. Forget that.

Yeah but it doesn't last that long, right? I don't know much about the waxing process but $100 seems like a lot if it only stays smooth for about a day or so. I can use the philips bodygroom and get "pretty smooth" on a daily basis and pay $0. For $100 it would need to be ludicrously smooth for at least a week. I just don't see the value in it. That's a lot of money.

Ok, maybe your buddy wanting to get wax, just makes him stupid. You agreeing to go with him makes you ghey. You're going to be a bloody mess like Lorena Bobbit got done with you.

You kidding? a good waxing will last at least 3 weeks. it is more worth it than anything i can think of to do to ones self.

Yep. Freud FTW.

Honestly laughing at everyone talking about itching, it only lasting a day, or to do it yourself.

Waxing means no itching.

It's going to last a month or so.

Feel free to shave yourself but there is approximately ZERO CHANCE anyone can try waxing for the first time and finish the job if they do it themselves. I, uh... speak from experience.

Richard Christie of the Howard Stern Show had it done on the air. It was funnier than hell (probably one of the funniest bits I ever heard on the radio) and it also sounded extremely painful. In fact it even drew blood if I remember correctly.

for men it will be more expensive just because most people that do waxing are females. I am purly talking in "regular" cities, not like NYC or LA. in those places, i am sure males can find it for less money. plus, my gal was telling me that she went to a conference in las vegas last year there was a whole demonstration on how to do this specific process on men.
