I normally shave, but when I go on a long vacation I wax. I asked for the brazilian two different times now, and they still leave a little bit of a line. They say it's too tender until you are used to it I didn't complain, nor bleed during the waxing, so I guess this is norm?? Anyway, I think its cheaper to get a wax, and leave a little bit of a line, than shave if you want too. Like Raina said, it is VERY hard to let the area grow. There is no way I could stand that gross feeling again!
