Andreas_187 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Have been cycling seriously for a couple of years now but have never taken the plunge and waxed my legs. Is it advisable to do my first ever wax the day before my first ever race? LOLSeriously though, does it grow back itchy?

Cippo Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 At the expo a few years ago my wife offered to pay for my waxing. Little did I know it was probably payback for something I didnt do. I have always shaved my legs or used a hair clipper without the plastic combs #0. I was fine till they got to my thighs and the pain started. The only thing that made it feel better was me laughing at the mtbers lying next to me crying and making funnof each other as they had never shaved before. I would suggest for your first time use a hair clipper.

Is it advisable to do my first ever wax the day before my first ever race? LOLSeriously though, does it grow back itchy? Ok Serious answer: Do NOT do it the day before race. Ripping the hair out of the follicles leaves the follicles a little red and tender. This is especially the case the first few times you get waxed. I would say the ideal time to get wax is anywhere between 4 to 14 days before hand.
Kalahari Vegmot Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 For anyone who waxes: just remember your lipstick, purse, and shirt that is 3x too small.
