ouch (but worth it)

Well, last night I decided it was time to do something new. I grew tired of having to shave my chest daily, sometimes twice a day if I was going out in the evening wearing something low cut. So I bought one of the do-it-yourself waxing kits and waxed my chest. Sure, it stung a bit ripping the hairs out, but if I am right I will get at least a couple of weeks before I need to shave again and to me that is so worth the brief pain and some redness and sensitivity in my skin this morning. Actually, plucking the few stragglers hurts far worse than the actual waxing did. I'm going to try maintaining it by plucking what I can and see how long I can go before I really need to shave again. The hardest part of the whole thing was letting the hair grow for a whole week before I tried this. I'm so used to being shaved that it was tough to not shave every morning.
