As someone who deals with excessive hairiness, I've tried various hair removal methods and each has its own pros and cons. Shaving is quick and painless, but the hair grows back quickly and can cause ingrown hairs. Waxing lasts longer but can be quite painful and expensive. Laser hair removal offers more permanent results, but it's costly and may require multiple sessions. Lastly, depilatory creams can be a less painful alternative, but may cause skin irritation and aren't as effective as other methods.
