I waxed my chest

[Taps]

30 mins and two shots of rye later, I'm starting to feel normal again.

It's the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I had a friend do my lower back and shoulders as a primer, and while it wasn't pleasant, it wasn't hell on earth. Chest and belly on the other hand..good Christ. If I ever do this again I'll have to be drunk or really, really high. I whimpered like a whipped dog the whole time.

Anwyay, I look like a smooth tomato for the most part. All shiney and red. I'm told that the swelling and redness should disapate within 24 hours or so.

A few tips for the boys who are thinking about waxing.
1. Don't do your back by yourself. Get your someone to help.
2. Buy the wax stips, not the bottled stuff. Easy to use and no mess.
3. Use the azulene oil immediately afterwards.
4. Have hard liquor handy.
5. Don't plan on wearing a shirt for the rest of the day.

And yes, you feel really really really gay when you buy a body wax kit. lol

you might get some ingrown hairs your first time, try to exfoliate in the shower, although u shoulda done it before hand...

I've never read your threads, but I always thought you were a chick.

Seriously, not trying to be a dick or a troll.

I want you to know that I am truly enjoying your moments of torture. No, really.

YEP!

Humm...well, I read the instructions. There was a pretty explict warning not to scrub/wash the skin prior to waxing.

Anyway, I'll exfoliate later on tonight when my skin is less sensitive.

What exactly is exfoliating?

 

[ZKaudio]

light abrasion to remove accumulated cells from the skin's surface. Generally done with a loofa or other lightly abrasive object.
