Have a look at these photos which might well make you wince. Each of these Hartlepool and East Durham fundraisers had a charity waxing in the past and we feel their pain.
So if you braved a waxing in Talons, Tranquility or Middleton Grange, here’s too you, you heroic lot.

4. Well done Jim
Back in 1984, retired miner Jim Smith raised £200 for charity by parting with the moustache he’d had for 22 years. It was a magnificent handlebar tache which he said goodbye to for a very worthy cause - the Ethiopian famine appeal. Photo: hm
