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've tried: Laser, wax, shaving & "nair".
Laser = most effective, most expensive, longest lasting, & not as painful as you expect.
Wax = effective, cost (varies), lasts almost 7 weeks & not so painful.
Shaving = effective for a meet / event that day, in-expensive, doesn't last & is painful even when you nick yourself. Did I metion the ingrowns??!!
"Nair" = somewhat effective (depends if you leave it on long enough but not too long), cost (depends on product), lasts (varies on product), pain - if your allergic . . . & there is still the issue of in-growns . . .
