Okay, now you can see that we have basically the face shaped. We haven't worked too much on the forehead yet and this is kind of rough. The next thing we're going to do is we're going to approach the hair and in order to speed things up and to show you another tool that you can use is I want to introduce the handy-dandy Dremel tool. Now this one has an extension. You don't have to have the extension, you can just use the Dremel tool itself but this can cut through this wax a whole lot faster than any other method. So I'm going to turn it on and we're going to cut away some of the area here and leave this front edge and the edge of the hair at the front and the sides by cutting away the upper forehead in order to get there. So I'm going to turn on the tool. I've got just a carving tool on this thing and I'm going to follow the shape of the hairline so that the hairline sticks up and the rest of it is cut back a little bit. One of the things when working with the Dremel tool is it's going to make a mess. That's okay. We're just trying to cut away some of that area and create this front ridge. We'll come back and clean this up later. But this is a great tool for carving away certain areas in a relatively fast manner. A whole lot faster than using our Exacto blade.
