I used to shave, you can do it often and avoid regrowth hell. Recently I started getting waxed, shaft, balls, butt. Really worth it, smooth for weeks, I love it, women love it.
Yes it’s painful at the time but not so much that you are tender walking to your car afterwards, it’s a stinging pain and then it’s done.
Plus you get the fun of trying to have a normal conversation about upcoming holidays with a woman who is pouring hot wax on your junk, an experience I would recommend to anyone who hates small talk.
