Last year at the Derby I found my goggles to be quite nice going 40mph with stinging snow in the air.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325025870131141600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765491466852689692.post-43366051002967617972010-01-06T16:54:05.828-05:002010-01-06T16:54:05.828-05:00I personally have never waxed.

However, I know many that swear by waxing - some are lazy and willing to put up with the short term pain for the long term freedom, while others are simply into the pain (I knew a girl like that once).

You could spend your 20 bucks on an old iron (free), some CH7 (good for most days, $9), and a scraper ($5).
