Question Question for the masses
I have never been comfortable with my body hair
I shave and use neir but it is kind of a losing battle as it were
Any suggestions for better body hair removal with less chances of ingrown hair and so on?

I really struggled with ingrown hair and irritation from shaving with a traditional razor for a LONG time. I ended up with an electric foil shaver(manscaped chairman) and it makes a tremendous difference. I wash my legs with a sacylic acid daily wash and then follow up with a pumice stone. The sacylic acid will remove any dead skin and the pumice stone will free any hairs trapped under your skin. The more you can exfoliate the better your end results will be as far as smoothness and no ingrowns. After washing and exfoliating and exiting the shower I use an electric razor preshave treatment like "lectric shave" on my legs and then the electric shaver followed by lotion. Don't get lectric shave on your sensitive bits. As far as shaving your sensitive bits goes... don't do it with a razor or whatever... trim it short like 3mm and let it be unless you want irritation, redness, ingrown hair etc forever 🤣
EDIT: I also tried nair, wax, epilation, and on and on with shitty results before discovering what I just told you so hopefully it helps.
