I’m sticking to shaving.
Er, shaving, I say!

If we ever have another postcard exchange, can I have “Stickman’s adventures with wax”? pleeeaaaassseeee.
:eek:
Would that be legal to show on a postcard? Think of all those innocent postal workers…Oh who am I kidding I’m thinking of designs right now.
nocturnal_tick…what can I say? You have raised the stakes somewhat my friend and I for one am not going to back out. I’m gonna see your ‘home waxing’ and raise you a ‘professional grooming’, preferably carried out by a burly Turkish gentleman in a seedy backstreet bath house. How much were you ‘quoted’? Did the potential waxer evaluate your pubes then cock his head, suck air in over his teeth, and say ‘Oooh, it’s gonna cost you at least ten bob pal’? I still have to wait for my thatch to grow back but when it is I’m gonna dive in, I’ll get back to ya’ll with a ‘review’.
BTW, classic story, I particularly liked the image of you cupping your wax covered beans and shuffling into the bathroom looking furtive hoping that your old dear doesn’t catch you at it!
I’ve been getting waxed for several years now and have not found the pain to be unendurable in the least. Hurts for a moment but that’s all. Upper lip and armpit waxing hurt far more and I still have that done.
None of the men I know who have waxing done (by a pro, of course) have ever been damaged in the process.
One word for you–Tweezers!
Keep a pair by the can. Work a little each time you do your business. It’ll take forever, but it won’t bleed, will hurt less and will be a whole lot more effective.
For those who thing the whole plucked chicken thing is odd, don’t just trust me. Read some old Playboy Advisors or a host of other sex-help books. It definitely increases sensitivity!
Thanks for the story though–nocturnal_tick. It made my day.
I have a salon, And yes it’s not the most comfortable situation you could sign yourself up for. Their are many ways of removing hair from that area.
Having this done will mostley depend on the salon and the person performing the service. Some are comfortable with this some not so much. When you call around for this you must be specific in your request so everyone is clear on what you want. This is not unusual, I’m finding more and more men want to rid of their hair or lesson it in that area. I have done this before and many are right OUCH. Nair might be the way to go if you don’t like pain. I use a waxing method, It’s like ripping a band-aid off on any kind of hair.
Their are many kinds of wax. You do not want a wax that requires any kind of cotton strips. There is a self hardening wax which is much more gentle than the others.(honey wax) But lets face it you are removing the hair from the root, but it helps. Which leads me to the pros of waxing or sugaring.(sugar is another form of hair removal that would be along the lines of waxing, some feel this is less painful than waxing)
When you shave your re-growth is stubbie and course, because you are just cutting the hair off. Than it grows back rather quickley. When you wax or sugar it pulls the hair from the root. Leaving no hair. When it grows back (about a month) it is not stubbie and course because it is a new hair, soft. I think a much nicer feel to the area than shaving. But there is the chance of in-growen hairs after time because the hair is weaker than before and has a harder time to break through the surface. Once you have been waxing for years it can break the hair folical down so you won’t grow any hair any more but were talking years.
No way of removing hair is comfortable that I know, but I haven’t tried lazer which is time consuming, costley and not 100%. To wax that area depending where you live it can vary. I would think no more than $50.00(cdn) for waxing or sugaring. Good Luck. Hope this helps.
Where’s all this cockney slang come from, WILLASS?
Anyway, you can’t go for professional when the do-it-yourself option is so gulp fun. Seriously, it’ll bring your relationship with your g/f to a whole new level.
tick, you know as well as I that your ruse to get me to self wax my nuts has failed! I’m going proffesional buddy, none of yer waxy nut, sneaky trips to the bathroom for me!
I assume that this was the line you are referring to as Cockney slang? Sorry, I was just trying to give the impression that instead of a reputable salon the waxing place was some shady backstreet operation operated by an ex grease monkey (mechanic to the Cockney impaired!) as I thought it was a funny mental image.
so umm, wilass? did you manage to get the teabags sorted?
No, I am going to get it done Friday 11th…listen out for screams at about two in the afternoon!
…no word from Willass…what’s up Willass? Did you get the fuzz removed from your peaches and they’re now as smooth as necarines?? Inquiring minds want to know!
I’m with this guy. Tweeze!
nocturnal_tick:
It should be easy maintenece for you from here on out. Whenever a hair grows out long enough to get a tweezer grip on it, rip him out.
By the way, does the short stubble bother you everywhere, or just the sack? I find short hair in the area not on my sack isn’t too uncomfortable at all. I don’t remove that stuff, just keep it really short. I would imagine plucking all that stuff like in the lower, lower stomach area just above the wang would be tedious and painful, so that area is probably best waxed anyway if you’re after complete hair removal. But I’m tellin’ ya, pluck your balls! It doesn’t hurt and there’s no blood!
To tell you the truth it actually hasn’t grown that much since I tried it, The hair has come through a hell of a lot thinner than it was and the test patch on my thigh is still practically bald, only 1 or 2 hairs came back. :gulp: Not that I liked the hair but I now have a bald patch on my thigh, and it notices because my legs are covered in ginger hair!
I meant before the operation. You mentioned that you didn’t like the stubble before.
Oh, that was when I was shaving, yeah the stubble wasn’t so much as sore but really distracting. Sitting in class and you suddenly “feel” it. Oh boy that was bad.
I am afraid that I have decided to give up the whole scheme and will just carry on shaving. I found that I couldn’t be bothered to wait for my hair to grow back so it was long enough to wax (it took a really long time) so I just shaved it off and have continued to do so. I am sorry to dissapoint.
::Father Mode::
I’m not angry, son, I’m disappointed…
Wait a minute, I really angry. I mean reallllly angry. You started this thread, you made your commitment, heck I went through pain as a part of that deal.
And now you turn your back on it…forshame. I think it is only right now that WILLASS have a full body wax inflicted upon his person, and from this moment on be known as WILLASS, the “Scrotum Shaver”.
Tut, tut, tut. :mad:
Aww shit tick, I am sorry - I was all up for doing it but my girlfriend moaned about the thatch and well, when the missus says shave, I say ‘how much?’
And kudos to you for getting it done and all but I am obviousley not nearly as manly as you. You earned your title as ‘Badass ball groomer’, you should enjoy it and share your tale with friends and strangers alike and bask in their awe.
