Shaving/getting rid of leg hairs for men

Those of you men who have successfully managed to rid yourself of leg hairs, what methods did you find the most effective? I recently tried this Veet cream that "kills" the hair and can then be brushed away with a shower, usually used be women, and it sure worked fine. But after a few days it had started growing back and had a little "stingy" feeling to it because it is still short. So I'm not finding this the best way. Would waxing be better? Will the waxing company just laugh at me for being a male waxing his feet? I don't wanna look ridiculous. I just wanna get rid of leg hairs. Don't ask why and go elsewhere to if you want to bash please. While you're at it, and if you have any tips on that, feel free to give hints on doing the same for the gen*tal area, b4lls etc., (not sure what words are allowed in here). What methods do you prefer?

So, uh, why do you want to get rid of your leg hair? Not being a dick, just curious, are you a swimmer or cyclist?

I just find it to be more comfortable and to look "cleaner". About comfort, an example is when I cross my legs the hair sometimes get pulled a bit causing slight and minor discomfort. But no, I'm neither cyclist nor swimmist, just a "normal" man who doesn't really need to do this but just would prefer to.

Norelco Bodygroom + fusion razor. I'm too much of a wuss to wax, and the creams burn. Can use the bodygroom to trim as well when you don't need to be completely clean.

I tried it once, it looked fucking disgusting. You'll regret it.

I've never been anywhere were the words "genital" and (especially) "balls" were banned or otherwise not allowed. Where the heck are you posting?

I am a competitive cyclist, and I can lend some advice (from many seasons of necessary leg shaving): don't do it!! Shaving your legs is a not only a lot of work, but ultimately, incredibly uncomfortable (you can't imagine how much my legs itch).

wait.. are u guys serious? so many "against" posts. To be honest, ive never shaven my legs but i do use clippers to keep the hairs short. I do it once every month and i find it to be a hygienical thing. Nobody likes a bush.

I've tried using clippers to thin it out, but it always looks patchy..... so I end up shaving. But only 2-3 times a year at most. It's way too much work. I'd shave all the time if I only had hair on my lower legs (like many asians).

+1. Just use a Bodygroom or similar every few weeks. Find it's a decent balance between looking pre-pubescent/female and gorilla-like.
