shave or wax

[demon_kiss2]

I have been shaving for some time now but i keep getting ingrowing hairs which is a major pain in the ass, and by shaving i mean down stairs, so i decided to look for advice here.

I will like to wax as is much better due to the whole ingrowing hair business but i know it will hurt so do u have any advice on how to avoid the shaving bumps and i only stroke downwards and not upwards as is one way to avoid the bumps but any more ideas.

thanks
