No. If I were to endure such a pain, I'd prefer laser hair removal.

Yes. It did hurt the most in armpits. And the regrowing hair needed rubbing a lot to prevent itching and sore skin. Also it was expensive. And skin care afterwards was also very expensive. So afterwards I switched to shaving again. Hair growth differs from body part to body part. So some parts need shaving more often than others and more care. Which is overall less work since it is only needed once a week for the most areas or so? And a daily routine on tiny areas.
