To shave or to wax: what's the best method of hair removal?
Former Member
So what is the best method of hair removal? Waxing, shaving or one of those depilatory creams? What are the pros and cons? Which method is the longest lasting and which is the easiest?

I haven't shaved in over a decade, but I always thought part of the benefit to shaving was the additional sensitivity you got from doing it. And I always thought that the additional sensitivity came from shaving off those top layers of skin and exposing your nerve endings a little more. Even just wearing clothes I remember how much more sensitive it felt. Am I hopelessly out of date in that theory? Does waxing (or Nair or whatever) give you the same heightened sensitivity?
