Hi Werner,
I have had good success using Venus brand shavers for shaving areas of my body that may too tender for waxing- nor impractical, like the face. Although, any very good brand of multi-blade shavers should work very well. Don’t go cheap on shavers.
In other areas like my arms, fingers, chest, etc. my goto is waxing by a professional. I tried doing it myself with limited sucess.
Once you get used to the initial pain, it gets much easier and less painful each time. Also, the hairs will become lighter/thinner and much less noticible until the follicles just give up. Of course, if on hormone therapy, that too will lessen your hair growth. Only drawback about waxing, from my point of view, is having to wait for the hair to grow out some between waxings.
These are just my personal observations and opinions. Do with them what you will.
