To shave or to wax: what's the best method of hair removal?

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 . . . Yes, ingrown hairs are worrisome as are the possibility of nicks and cuts. I should imagine waxing for a man, given that mens' bodily hair is, generally coarser, longer and more abundant, is more painful than for a woman. Also men have the additional areas of chest and abdomen to wax and the abdomen in particular is a very sensitive. Any men who have waxed care to share experiences on this? Syd
