Waxing? It’s entirely possible, but before embarking on this course I highly recommend you watch an entertaining though harrowing short lm called Brother-in-Law Getting His Head Wad (www.url.com/uploaded/Head_Waxing_51150.html), directed by “Alukard,“ in which a burly, tough customer named Phil has his scalp completely defoliated by the experienced Violet to the soundtrack of Johnny Cash’s rendition of “Hurt.“ The music does not completely cover the ouches, ows, and oohs, and Phil’s saying, “You’ve gotta give me a second.“ Undoubtedly, waxing lasts considerably longer than shaving does. But I don’t know if anything would be worth what Phil bravely endures in this film. Most of my friends use either the HeadBlade, designed specifically for head shaving, or state-of-the-art razors, like the Mach3. Waxing will eliminate razor bumps, but I know from experience that it can cause ingrown hairs.
