Removing pubic hair

Good morning all. How is everyone removing pubic hair nowadays (all of it).
I usually use removal cream but I’m overly sensitive and have come out in lots of red spots.
Shaving brings me out in red spots.
I don’t fancy waxing. Are there any other options out there?
Perhaps the electric shavers? What are they like, do they offer a close shave?
Home laser treatment- how does this work with public hair?

I've just had another unfortunate memory surface of the nudist section of the beach at Barcelona. A couple were playing frisbee completely in the scud - with their teenage son of around 13/14 (fortunately in swimwear).
I was so vicariously traumatised for him that I'm afraid I didn't notice what their pubic hair situation was.

Same beach, naked man having a shower, and washing his back passage with the same vigour as which you or I would in the privacy of our own shower at home.
Again, eyes were averted before pubes could be ascertained.

Just came on to update on my laser.
I went ahead and had full laser hair removal down there, I think it's a "Hollywood"? in waxing terms, but it's full bikini and peri anal, so EVERYTHING including my bum hole! It takes about 8 sessions which have to be at least 6 weeks apart, so I've had 2 sessions so far.

I have high hopes! I've already noticed the hair there growing back more slowly and it seems a little bit thinner. It's relatively painless and all very professional too - I thought I'd be embarrassed but it was absolutely fine. I wasn't on all 4s, just flat on my back with my feet together and knees apart, then had to turn on my side for the bum. It did feel quite prickly where hair was a bit thicker / coarser but I imagine far better than waxing!

My underarms which I'm also having done have changed much more quickly and I've only had to shave twice a week.

I'd highly recommend it! I've paid about £450 for an 8 session block (just for down below, other areas were priced separately) which I don't think is too bad.

I think specifically it's a "Soprano" laser and quite high spec, not like IPL or home laser.

Anyway hope that helps someone!
