    God love you!

    Caution is a bad thing when it comes to the ol' waxing.

    I hate it but my eyebrows are really fair and plucking just doesn't work so I have to get them waxed and it ******* hurts like crazy!!

      Proper shaving soap is definitely the way to go but there ain't much around these days. Thats why I stopped using it because when you run out it's hard to get a replacement (when you live in the middle of nowhere at any rate).

        Hum, no idea - no use to me now anyway as I gritted my teeth and ripped it off (along with most of my skin), and never intend to put myself through that again.

          Does it? I always debated whether to get my eyebrows done as people tell me it doesn't hurt. Nuff said, ta.

            For sure, it’s why I stock up. Though you can order it online and it does last ages! Let’s say 2 soaps per year at the most, you can get 2 years supply for not much.

              Doesn't hurt? It's on your face there are huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge numbers of nerves there and yep, it's going to hurt like a bugger - probably more than your shin, I'm afraid (assuming that's where you were waxing )

              sorry.
