Ahhhhhh well # one what ever you do don’t do it drunk; you will NOT clot, and you will bleed a LOT more than you need too, so much so I doubt you will be able to finish. IE wax don’t stick to wet things. if you are UBER endowed with the hair gene you may want to use some nair first and wait a month before hitting the wax. If time permits soak in the tub 15-30 min before the operation, the hair will absorb the water, and when it soaks down to the root apparently will allow the follicle to come out easier… Other than that good luck buddy you have more guts than I!!!
Thanks so far for the advice! I just downloaded "The 40 Year Old Virgin." Apparently the waxing was 100% real. I hope it's not as painful as it appears I was considering maybe trimming it a bit before the main event, but all the girls up here keep telling me that is useless, and that it's better to have longer hair so the wax can grip it.
Doc- you sure you don't want to see any before/after pics?

i have never waxed my chest thats for sure... but none the less anytime i have gotten anything waxed here are some things that HAVE helped...
take some advil 30 mins prior... this helps with the pain.. (if you have something stronger i.e. prescription / illegal.. go nuts ..)
make sure your hair is approx 1/8th of an inch long.. too long it wont all get caught in the wax, too short it wont hold.... just tugg em and sting but do nothing)
make sure your skin is dry.. wear a light shirt because any moisture will also cause your waxer to have to do the same spots over and over to get everything..
wear a shirt you dont care about too.. there will be some residual wax on your chest after and will ruin your clothing..doesnt come out..
after the waxing... you should use an antibiotic cream like polysporin afterwards.. some offer pain relief.. try and find one.. you are going to want it.......
after a shower for the next few days use either baby powder or the polysporin.. you dont want it to be damp or sweaty.. or else you will get a lot f irritation..
there is no real way to get around it hurting.. and yep.. it hurts a fair bit.. but let us know how it goes

Putting money into aviation is like wiping before you poop....it just don't make sense!

Well, it was my bright idea. I made the bet "casually" with my roomate who then spread it around all over work. The bet was that if I win, my roomate had to buy me a tub of yogurt- but if I lose, I will agree to get my chest waxed. Obviously my brain wasn't working that day, but oh well, a bet is a bet. If I try to chicken out of it, I'm sure you could guess what would happen to me!
