Shaving is soooo annoying, but I hate the feel of scratchy hairs so I do it almost every day. I've tried it all... shaving, waxing, Epilady, depilatory! Currently, I wax about every 4-5 weeks. As you keep waxing, you have less regrowth. It does hurt, but only for a minute. I use the roll on wax from Sally's beauty supply. You just microwave it and go. Epilady (and other machines like it) works on the same premise. They rip the hair out from the root. Pain is about the same as with waxing. Shaving is easy and painless, but I had to do it daily. I like waxing for the long lasting effect.Depilatory creams are also good, depending on your skin and hair type. The best I've found is Magic Shave cream. It's made for African-American men to use on their beards. But it works great on legs! Smells a little, but you can be hair free for several days. You can get it at drugstores and Walmart.
HTH,
