The Wax Treatment

Hi All,
Looking for advise on hair removal and should I go ahead with waxing?
Let me explain. :roll: During the recent good spell of weather I was sunbathing, trying to get a base colour for the upcoming holiday, when my wife advised me to get my shoulders and back waxed. :oops: I'm of a certain age were you begin to loose it on top but it seems to spring up everywere else. (Nose, ears, shoulders and back) :lol: My wife say's that I have an awful lot of face to wash in the morning.
But joking aside - after a few beers I agreed and she went ahead and booked a visit to our local beautician :evil: The appointment is one week prior to departure to Icmeler and was wondering if this is time enought for recovery, or can you go sunbathing straight after :?: Is it worth it :?: (I don't think so!!!!) Is it painful :?:
Higgs.

Hi Higgs, the wife says don't be such a baby. If women can have thier bikini line waxed then you should be able to have you're back done. :) I reckon you should go the whole hogg and have a back, sack, and crack done. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Oh imagine the pain off that. :shock: :shock:

my wife did my shoulders and back a few years ago, everything was ok till she got to the bottom of my back, that was a little painfull. The real problem came later the waxing kit came with some balm to rub on after the waxing process, well i must have been alergic to it because within 10 mins my hol back came out in blisters and was very painfull. I had to go have a shower to get it off. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

My back was just like that as well after using the foam stuff which disolves the hairs! I was red raw for about a week!

So I've never tried proper waxing because of it! lol

Why do us men have to be so hairy! :(
