What is the best option which doesn't involve itchy sore unsightly rash afterwards?? That's what I get from shaving.

I used a home IPL device and it totally solved it. FOREVER.

But before that I used trimmers like this but adjusted right down to zero. Good enough for me, and no rash. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4078272?clickPR=plp:5:12

It was a Smoothskin but years and years ago. It did legs, underarms, all the other randomly hair bits I seem to have boobs. There's several brands now, I'm sure there are lots of recommendation threads.

I use one from Studio and it cost £50 (in the sale) and it's bloody brilliant! I'll try find a link

Importantly though, you MUST shave prior to using IPL! It works by zapping the pigment in the hair which is left within the root. If you wax, pluck or sugar - basically any form of pulling the hair out - will render the IPL completely useless.

Phillips Lumea is £110 off in John Lewis sale at the moment.

Waxing or Veet for me. I can't always get to the salon, otherwise I'd always get waxed

I use the Phillips Lumea and hardly use it now as my hair barely grows back and my hair was dark and coarse and grew very quickly so I can definitely recommend it
