Anyone tried waxing?

Duurti:
I'd been on the fence about shaving the head for a while. Started with just going as close as the clippers would go and did this for a year or so, but wanted more (or less?).

So I finally took the plunge and went right down to the wood. Lovin it. Only problem is I need to do it every day to keep it smooth. I took the simple step of buying an anti-fog mirror for the shower and that's been a blessing.

An old friend of mine used to wax, but I'm no longer able to contact him for input. Has anyone here tried it out? Pros? Cons?

Sir Harry:
Welcome! While waxing is an alternative to everyday shaving, and could give you a smoother head longer; it could lead to possible discolorations on your scalp. Further, the hairs in some areas are thicker than others which could lead to possible patching. I would strongly advise against waxing, but if you want to be bald permanently and have some bucks to spend, laser treatments could be a better option.

Baldstu:
This sounds painful

This. Also, waxing is also unbelievably painful (had body waxing done once before....once).

Well women always complain that waxing is painful.


AND....... real men don't wax.  :)
