Am I Brave or "What" - Waxing For Charity

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi there, need some help from you girls out there.
A friend and I are considering getting our legs waxed for Charity. I'm thinking about doing mine for the Combat Stress Charity and my friend Russ is doing it for a Charity called Special Kids in the UK. It won't be until sometime this year. But I wanted you girls advice.
What is the least "Painless" way of getting it done, because we might be brave enough and get our chests done as well.
Come on girls, some advice please.
Thanks
Scott:hello:

[Claire]

Bite on a leather strap, lie back and think of Scotland!

Ha ha! Are you hairy?

PS. I'll sponsor you!

[Scott_Fraser]

Just a little bit Claire, but what the hell, I might give it a try, how do you do it, do you use the wax or shave.
Cheers
Scott:hello:

[Marlene]

Wax...painless? Oh, you're a riot!!! LOL When I get my eyebrows done, it hurts like hell-but just for a few seconds. It's all in who's doing the waxing and how much skill they have. It's kinda like taking a band-aid off...one quick pull, stings like the dickens for a few seconds, but then it's pretty much over.

Ohh... and don't flinch.

Plenty of lotion or cream afterwards will help with the redness.

Nice to see a man getting a fuller understanding of the expression 'the price of beauty'. *grin*

[Scott_Fraser]

Hey Marlene, you're loving this aren't you, if only we could get Terry or Ranger to join in, it would make your day.
Cheers
Scott:hello:

[Scott_Fraser]

C'mon Marlene, a man in pain getting his legs and chest waxed, this must make your day LOL. PS hope that you'll sponsor me.
Scott:hello:

I tried waxing once... That first tear was enough for me 12 years ago. For some reason I bought into the whole "it will give the bikini line a nice apperance and no issue", pleany of other did it. After I started bleeding and had a huge purple welt from the bruising I decided I would just stick with razors now. For some reason nicks just did not seem like an issue anymore. And it wasn't like I coud go to the beach after that stunt any way. 20 years old and stupid. Next time I feel the need to see if I can rip a sheet of skin off I now know how. Oh, have fun!!

ETA - Hope the screams do not peel the paint off the walls, and don't be shocked if you break out in a sweat.

[Scott_Fraser]

Oh my friends, I have a host of friends have you all no sympathy for a poor man about to go through this. Beca, you're a sadist, Marlene what does LMAO mean.
Cathy, I may scream, but you may be able to hear me in WV. If you open your windows wide enough.
Tell me girls, what is in this wax anyway. Is it warm when they put it on or cold.
Cheers
Scott:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[becvan]

I am not.. I just think it's hilarious.. like watching men get tattoes.. they have to have fans on them and pass out on a regular basis.. I think it's extremely funny..

In the wax, will soon be your hair! LOL

Usually it is warm, sometimes hot (sometimes it burns you if they have it heated up too much.)

Have fun!

bec

[Scott_Fraser]

Thank you for your kind words Beca, its all for a good cause anyway, so why not.
Shouldn't you be in your bed Beca, it must be at least 3am where you are.
C'mon kid, get some sleep.
Cheers
Scott:hello:

[becvan]

More like going on 8 am and I can't sleep. so I gave up for now. But thanks and yes it is a good cause.. LOL dare ya to do your chest... HEHEHE

bec

[Scott_Fraser]

Thanks Beca. But on a scale of 1 to 10 how painful is it, i.e. 1 is not to bad and 10 is shear agony, what is it. Your legs must be as smooth as silk, girl.

WildCritter. Maybe if you tanked Ranger up on beer he might do it.LOL.
Cheers
Scott:hello:

[becvan]

HEHEHE, i'm not stupid.. the only thing I wax is my eyebrows.. I use a razor! Mind you I burn easy and have sensitive skin (I sunburn in 15 minutes through a shirt.. soo yeah, this is not for us very pale-skinned people LOL) Scale of 1 to 10.. normal temp ohhh a 6, too hot of wax.. 10!

LOL

bec

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Beca, are you pale skinned and blonde or red-head as they usually burn in the sun quite easily.
Scott:hello:
PS. Put in Photo of me and Kim

[Marlene]

Marlene what does LMAO mean.


Laughing
My
Ass
Off

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Marlene, mystery solved. I've decided to that if I'm brave enough with my legs getting waxed, I might as well go the whole hog and do my chest as well.
When the time comes, I'll get a photo of me before, and one after the waxing is done.
So my dear I'll need your morale support, will you hold my hand, "PLEASE".
Cheers
Scott:crazy:

[becvan]

I have red hair, "auburn" to be exact. And yes, I know that pale skin goes hand in hand with that hair. And before you ask, yes I have freckles, yes I have green eyes.

bec

[madjon]

the hair is pulled out by the roots, will hurt a fair bit, different for a chest wax, thick hair pulled out by follicles, youll notice the difference, may also have a nasty soreness and discoloured skin for a while, also dont expect it to grow back the way it was.

[YoungAndAngry]

It's been awhile since I've had it done, but normally I talk through my waxing... the waxing usually doesn't even inturrupt the conversation.
Not sure if I have a high pain tolerance, but I find the most painful part is if you have clothing that rubs against your raw skin afterwards.

My advice would be if you have really hairy legs... trim it beforehand.
That way it'll be easier to wax sections

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Beca, so being a red-head, you must have some temper, eh.
Cheers Scott
:crazy:

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi madjon and Young and Angry, thanks for the advice. I'm gonna need a lot of support for this I think.
Cheers
Scott:thumbs-up

[motorjack]

hey scott have you seen fourty old virgin,,i suggest you watch itbefore you get waxed...theres a scene in there about waxing a chest....mj

best of luck, and dont svream to loud.....

[Marlene]

BTW Scott-it could always be worse. Instead of leg and maybe a chest wax, you could have opted for a Brazilian. Now that's sacrificing for charity!!!!! :biggrin:

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Marlene.
Eh no, But my wife's best friend Caroline got one on Wednesday as she went on vacation to the Canary Islands today. Why is it a sore one.
Cheers
Scott:dontknow:

[Marlene]

I wouldn't know as hot wax and that part of my anatomy are never, ever going to become aquainted!!! Not no, but HELL no!!! LOL :naughty:

[Scott_Fraser]

Oh Marlene, you are a spoilsport. So its okay for me to endure this pain, and for you to stand by and lick your lips with glee. Anyway I'm not that brave.
If its not to rude a question, how old are you?
Cheers
Scott:clap:

[Marlene]

....I'm 38.

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Marlene, just a kid then
Scott:crazy:

[anthony]

It doesn't hurt, I used to wax my legs when I was much fitter and active for riding and running.

[veiled]

LOL, you just shattered my image of you ...

[Nam]

Well Scott, I hope you're not like me. I got my legs waxed ONCE and only on one leg because after pulling all the hair, each follicle where the hair once was, started to bleed. It DID hurt like crazy and I decided never again. I do wax my eyebrows though, but for some reason, I don't bleed there. For pain coping methods? Well, the leather strap sounds good....don't break a tooth...LOLOL


ETA: wow, Anthony. I'm speechless. What a man!

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Nam, was your experience the exception. But I will still go through with it. I hope to do it at the end of February, the girl at the local beauty salon said she would do it for nothing as it was for charity. And she said to get the local newspaper involved in it as well. So I'm getting a lot of support, all I need is the sponsor forms and I'll get them from the Combat Stress Charity.
Cheers
Scott:hello:

[cookie]

don't worry scott, waxing doesn't hurt, it's the DE-WAXING that hurts!
cathy

[Terry]

I'll do it. After I see you do it on "You Tube"

[veiled]

terry... I will want pics LOL. Wonder if it would look like after I waxed my ducks ;)

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Terry, my friend. You're on mate! I'm getting a photo taken of me before and after I get it done, and the local newspaper are coming to take a few snaps of me in agony.
Hi Veiled, Q. What are your "Ducks". If its not a stupid question.

So Terry get your Kim to get the wax out and heat it up.
Cheers
Scott:occasion:
PS Who are you calling a Tube, "ya bampot ye". LOL.

[anthony]

LOL, you just shattered my image of you ...
Why is that my dear? I don't wax now as I don't ride so full on any more... actually, I don't ride much at all, nor run. I think about getting back into my fitness, as I have had a good couple of years off now, so maybe the rest time is over. I used to be one of the fittest in my Unit, ran PT most of the time, and kicked the arses of those often much younger than me. I am sure the youngens today are getting weaker or something...

[veiled]

You crack me up when you lead me in with "why my dear" because that is always when you nail me dammit! LMAO... Actually made me laugh hard enough to get a laughing tear working. Sure you were not a trapper in a past life? Maybe it is cultural differences... But if a guy ended up "smooth" from my neck of the woods it was noramlly because he got drunk and his buddies got a hold of him because he passed out.

I never could get my mind wrapped around guys getting slick as well... I think women have so much time they have to invest keeping body hair looking like it does not happen how much time does a guy have to put in??? AND to do it on purpose. After meeting you online and then trying to put the mental image of you waxing... Damn I am about to fall off my sofa... I am laughing too hard. I just can't see you doing it!!! Damn, I have a case of giggles that won't stop now.

So how long did you legs stay silky smooth? Oh lord I am going to hell I am laughing too much at this. Hugs honey, you know you are my friend! Even if your legs look better than mine.

[Scott_Fraser]

Your so jealous Veiled
Scott:smoking:

[Terry]

The funniest thing about this is, the more Euro a man is the more hair he has. LMAO.........I got a lot of Native American in me.........hahahahahahah.

[Scott_Fraser]

Well good luck mate, I'm in live chat with Claire right now if you want to join in.
Scott:music:

[veiled]

Tery ha ha ha ha.... But isn't it less hair as in chest and face? Not legs? prompted to go shave. pppttthhhh

[anthony]

I am blonde anyway, so my hair is fine and doesn't stand out. I waxed for about 3 years I think... but Kerrie did it for me, not me do it. I would go to a salon though if I got back into fitness heavily, in order to have it done again. It is much much easier when your highly fit to have no hair on legs, as it lessens the sweat created, makes it much cooler to run actually and work harder. Waxing here is no big deal really for a bloke, with the metrosexual generation now engaged. Hairy is really out nowadays.

[becvan]

Lord, and I like hair on chest.. no aussies for me then!

UGH
bec

[veiled]

Dammit bec you are making me do this... He never said chest. So now I have to ask, with my freshly shaven legs LOL. Anthony. Did you do your chest too? (please say no). Bec Maybe us getting riled up over hairy chest is a North America thing? Still trying like hell not too giggle over a visual... The down side of faces to names!

[becvan]

Hehe, when Anthony said that.. it immediatly made me think of this guy who would shave off his chest hair (it showed off his muscles? LOL) and then used women's deodorant to keep it fresh!! LMAO.. so that is the image I have in my head... OHHH LORD,

Anthony please say you don't wax nor shave your chest.. I'll never get that image outta my head otherwise... :rofl:

bec

[YoungAndAngry]

Meh, in my part of Canada, metrosexual guys are common to see.
Plus most hardcore atheletes also wax/shave their legs.
I would never force my hunny to wax... but a smooth chest is hot.

[becvan]

It's rather isolated here so it's starting to be common for the younger generation which is the only reason I know about it! LOL, my younger cousin had a roomate that did that stuff. LOL I'd just sit there and laugh, shaking my head.

bec

[anthony]

No, I never waxed my chest, arms, etc, just legs when training. I don't have a hairy chest anyway, blonde = not a hairy person.

[Scott_Fraser]

Hey Anthony, don't let Veiled make fun of you, I think she's just jealous that you and I have the guts to do it.
The local beauty salon said that they would do my waxing for free. I've already got friends that are willing to sponsor me. So I'll get it done when I come back from Hollybush House and I've got the sponsor forms.
Claire is willing to sponsor me. So come on Beca, Veiled and you other folk.
Put your money where your mouths are and sponsor me. Its for a good cause, Combat Stress Charity.
Scott:thumbs-up

[becvan]

You know Scott, some of us are actually poor? In fact many of us on here are struggling. I realize your saying this is fun, however, careful what you ask for. As many, many people on here are struggling with the loss of income from thier PTSD, overwhelming bills, medications, mouths to feed etc..

Just a heads up.

bec

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Beca. Sorry about that. Everybody seems to think its a laugh, and it is, but I'm doing this for Combat Stress. I know that a lot of folk on the forum don't have a lot of money, and neither do I, but combat stress re-hab has helped me so I'm just doing what I can to thank them for their help. And this is a way to do it.
Thanks for your support anyway, it means a lot to me.
Scott:hello:

[becvan]

If I could afford it, I'd send it! LOL, it's a great cause and with a great way to do it.. (still giggling my butt off over the mental images I have with this...LOL)

Anthony: Is it a myth that blondes are "less hairy?" Come on.. lol that just can't be true??

bec

[Scott_Fraser]

Thanks Becs. My pain is not my pleasure, its for your mental image of me being in agony.
Cheers
Scott:hello:

[anthony]

Blondes generally don't have the same quantity of hair as a black hair person. I believe the hair type, being a genetic predisposition, has much to do with it. If a person has black hair, they will develop to become much hairier than a blonde, absolutely. Blondes are much less hairy, and their hair is much finer. Everytime I go to the hairdresser, they usually say how women would love my hair, as its so fine, not course and thick, things like that.

[becvan]

Huh, that is interesting.. so where do we redheads fall? My legs are pretty sparrse.. and I have really fine hair so maybe lean more towards the blonde end of things? My sister is a redhead too (bright freaking red, it's an unreal colour compared to my auburn) and she has barely any hair anywhere! Matt, well his was blonde.. slowly going brown, I'm waiting for it to get really dark.. but he is too young to tell yet..

This really fasicnates me.. LOL

bec

[Claire]

Red heads fall roughly in the middle. Less hairy than dark hair. My big bro is a red head. I am dark haired and Anhtony is right. I have lots more hair than fairer people. Not so good for a girl really, thats how I know about waxing. I'm part human, part chimp!

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Claire, I always thought you were a cheeky monkey anyway.
Scott:rofl: LOL.

[kimdim]

I think its time i put my view in now.
I dont want Scott to get his legs and chest waxed tho i havent said anything to him but he'll find out now.
Why should he put himself through more pain that he already is in for something that the goverment should be paying for rather than relying on charity donations.
Tony Blair sends our young boys into Iraq but hes not willing to pay for them to get help the whole thing sucks big time.:angry-fla :angry-fla

[batgirl]

Huh, that is interesting.. so where do we redheads fall?

Well as you know bec, I also have red hair... I sort of consider it auburn, but my family says it's more of a reddish blond... anyways. I don't have much hair on my body either, and like you the hair on my head is very fine, although I have a lot of it.

[Claire]

I think Scott should do it if he wants to. Its pro active and for a cause he believes in. It will be empowering. Yes, the government should, could etc but realistically IF it ever happens its going to take time to change. Doing this will get the cause publicity which is always good in order to start to effect long term change. We need to shout about because people just aren't aware of all the suffering soldiers (and others with PTSD) go through. Scott will be explaining where the money is going every time he asks joe public for their cash, spreading the word as he goes.

[Scott_Fraser]

Hi Claire, thanks for your reply.
I have put charity cans for Combat Stress into the local shops and have raised quite a few pounds that way, also in the house we have two cans to put our loose change in. So I'm getting publicity that way, but alas its not enough. Do you have any ideas on how I can raise funds for this, without doing the aforementioned above. I'm not being a coward, I would like your ideas on this. I'm going to write you a pm ok. So don't go away.
Cheers
Scott:hello:

[jods]

Good luck Scott!

My bro waxes his legs, he's a bike rider & claims it stops gym equipment from pulling his hairs out!?!

I got to admit I like a bit of fur on my man!
