shave. You get a rash the first couple times, but it stops. I've been doing it for years. smooth as a hairless kitty.

Waxing,
Sugaring,
Shaving,
Chemical creams: Veet, Nair
Waxing/sugaring is best done by a beautician. Just phone and make an appointment.
Painful, but it does diminish with repeated waxing
Shaving: fairly cheap, but has do to be done on a daily basis.
You need shaving creamand a razor designed for removing body hair. I suggest either Divina by Gillette or the Wilkinson Sword system, which comes with integrated soap.
From experience I know that shaving gel dries out your skin and so does prepared shaving cream. A brush and a bowl of soap gives you best and cheapest results.
If you have never shaved before, your skin will probably develop a rash the first few times you shave. Once your skin gets used to being naked the rash will go away. Applying talc helps.
Other ways of reducing a shaving rash include passing the razor only once over the shaved area, shaving in the direction of the hair, applying copious amounts of cold water after shaving, and going over the shaved area with a block of alum after shaving.
Also make sure the bathroom is warm enough. If you shave over goosebumps you're sure to draw blood.
Chemical creams: these give good results, but can cause reactions, and you can easily burn your skin. I used them for a while but gave up because I seemed to be allergic to them.
Your skin stays smooth for up to 4-5 days. Also they have a bad smell. Never use the quick-acting creams, you will almost certainly burn yourself. Use the old style 10 minute cream.
If you do your whole body I recommend that you wear gloves to apply the cream. Use an exfoliating glove when washing the cream off. You'll need somebody to help you do your back.
Avoid goodsebumps
You can also buy electrical hair removers: these work by plucking out your hair. It's agony. I know a T person who did her legs with one, but I really don't how she stood the pain. Amazing.
DIY electrolysis/lasers: the electrolysis devices are ok if you've got a couple of dark hairs round your mouth, useless for large areas.
The laser devices are a waste of money.
Finally: Having small areas lasered is not really that expensive. I hope to have my thighs and bikini area done for the first time this winter. The price for having your entire body done is roughly € 6,000, (up to six sessions).
Facial hair is a different story altogether and is much more difficult to remove. Electrolysis is often the only effective answer.

My heavens, I never have been flashed, but I did unintentionally flash a few folks once. I was in the hospital some time back and decided to take a stoll to the vending area. Well, I wasn't thinking about what I was wearing and, let's just say that those hospital gowns don't leave a lot to the imagination on the backside. The nurse came up from behind me and put a blanket over my shoulders . . . I was wondering why it was a little drafty back there!

The Phillips Bodygroom. Prolly works best if you have a full-length mirror and/or a willing assistant. :-)
Take a look at this site--but don't believe what they say about the "optical inch"!

One thing I can tell you (from experience) is that when you shave your balls and other areas down there you learn just why God put hair there. It keeps you from chafing. Use plenty of baby powder until it grows back. (and it always does)

if you dont care about pain,. go with waxing. if you do care about pain, and don't mind constant upkeep, shaving is easiest then.
ps. I'm a swimmer, we have to shave our ENTIRE BODIES. it works.
