Gah, I'm lazy. I should shave twice a week, but I generally only shave my legs once a week (in warm weather). In cold weather, I can go a long time without shaving, and generally only do if I think people might be seeing my bare legs or pits.

Waxing hurts like a motherfucker, but the one and only time I had my legs waxed, before we went to the beach 2 years ago, the results were awesome and lasted forever. We're going back to the beach in July, so I might cowgirl up and get my legs waxed again. (But seriously, I am a PANSY about how bad it hurts -- god DAMN!)

For matters facial and fuzz I have become very fond of threading.

Right now my broke-ass self is hitting the 5x and a tweezer, but generally-speaking, threading is pretty economical. If I could find someone to thread my bikini line I'd never touch wax again.

I sort of hate everyone who doesn't have to shave or otherwise remove hair in order to NOT be met with stares of horror.

I'm hairier than my only male sibling. It's like I'm part monkey or something. I also have wickedly sensitive skin that hates the whole hair removal process, but if I don't remove it, I wind up with seriously nasty ingrows. So.

I've actually done a fairly good job at plucking out the wild long hairs from my chin & jaw but there are bunch of fine ones I just need to get waxed.

My brows would probably look better if they were waxed but they aren't hideous so I wax the lower part of my face.

SLNRLBF is going to be here in TWO WEEKS from tomorrow so I need to call and get an appointment for the waxing and a haircut.

Oooh, threading! I need to look into that. That was the other thing I was considering, along with sugaring.

This is what I'm afraid of. You would think after the various tattoos I've gotten, the idea of waxing wouldn't make me nervous. Also, I have sensitive skin, and am starting to become prone to ingrown hairs on my legs (not cool, body. Do not want.), so I need to figure out SOMETHING.

Me, too. I feel you on that.

And, gah, I need to de-fur my eyebrows. I was going to do that tonight, and so far I've managed to cut up strawberries and taunt the dog.

My skin is really sensitive to waxing. Whenever I go to get my face waxed, I warn the beautician that I have really sensitive skin, and she nods and say "OK" as if she's heard all this before, and then she pulls off the first wax strip and watches in horror as my skin turns bright red.

This is what I'm afraid of.

One of our good friends has a salon, and consistently wins awards for "Best Waxing in the City" (she's actually going to be waxing a Bridezilla -- as in the TV show). Part of why she's so good is how fast she is at waxing; I think for both legs it took her 15 minutes, maybe? And it was thorough and really good.

Anyway, my point (and I do have one) was that she goes so quickly *because* that way the pain isn't prolonged. (But fuck, it still hurt like a bastard.)

I would do a bikini wax any day before I would have my legs waxed again. Seriously - more awful than any other pain I've experienced.
