Speaking of Waxing

    ...has anyone waxed their moustache/beard area? How bad did it hurt? Would you ever do it again? How much tissue did it take to stop the bleeding?

    Actually, I am kind of serious, I think it would probably hurt like the dickens at first, more than waxing your legs or, ahem, bikini area, but the idea of first of all getting a very close shave, so to speak, and second of not having to do it again for a week or more are kind of attractive. Also the idea that the hair would grow in finer and/or sparser is kind of nice, too. I know the only real way to get rid of it is to do either electrolysis or laser removal and then follow up with hormones to inhibit regrowth, etc., but I'm not ready for permanent just yet.

    BTW, my beard area is fortunately for me not real heavy or thick. I can grow a moustache and have in the past but attempts at a beard are just laughable. Sigh, there goes my idea of just letting everything grow out and joining the circus.
