Wax

It takes me about 10 minutes to shave my legs, and I do it once a week. My little sister offered to wax them on the grounds that I wouldn't have to shave for three or four weeks. I think she offered mostly because she wanted to see me in pain. Last night I took her up on the offer.

It wasn't that painful.




But it took about two hours. I think I'll stick to shaving. Except for maybe the backs of my knees.

  1. Wax is for skis.

    Disappointed there were no yelps or profanity in the video.

  2. I tried Nair. I'm unconvinced that it's any better than a good razor.

  3. I have tried Nair too. It seems to help in those areas that get ingrowns. Like the back of the knees and the inner thigh area. Can't believe Im talking about inner thigh area on a ski/bike blog. Oh dear.

  4. You only did half of the upper leg didn't you? Nothing beats the pain of the inner thigh.

  6. Kris: Anytime the video was rolling, I braced myself to ensure I showed no pain.

    Adam: Nair is no more effective and more time consuming than a razor. We'll see how long the wax lasts, but it's a different beast entirely.

    360: Inner thigh was nothing compared to the back of my Achilles.

    Zeph: This is more than a week's worth. I let it grow special just for this occasion.
