I have in the past tried both and whilst shaving is easier the itchy stubble returns far too quickly. Waxing last a lot longer and the initial regrowth is finer but I found it very prone to ingrowing hairs even with daily exfoliation.
I currently use home IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment which for me works much better. This involves an initial shave followed by using the IPL machine over the area. The light pulses, which are like the flash on an old compact film camera, cause some/most of the hair roots to heat up and deactivate. The process is very slightly uncomfortable, it feels a bit like being flicked with an elastic band.
Over a couple of months IPL has very significantly reduced my hair growth in the treated area and I now don't suffer any ingrowing hairs or itchy stubble but it is not suitable for all hair/skin combinations or for use on the testicles (which I still shave). |
